An account of Chef Scott Jaeger's journey to Lyon, France, to compete for Canada in the 2007 Bocuse D'Or culinary competition.

Practice makes perfect
The preperation for the Bocuse D'Or has been all about the details. Chef Jaeger has spent the last two years getting to know his assigned meats, tweaking the side garnishes, having custom moulds made to achieve a specific look, and obtaining the finest ingredients Canada could offer in order to attain the highest of standards for his final product. With only a few days remaining until Team Jaeger packs up and sets off for France, the experience and training is all behind them, and now the countless hours of preperation will pay off. Without revealing too much about the final product, here is a look at Chef Jaeger's kitchen during an intensive practice run.
My name is Jen, and I bartend at Scott & Stephanie Jaeger's restaraunt, The Pear Tree, located in North Burnaby, BC. While (sadly) I will not be joining Team Jaeger to Lyon (which includes most of The Pear Tree staff), I will be updating this blog with their account of the trip, so as to keep everyone here at home up to speed on the competition (and maybe to live a little vicariously as they cavort about Europe!)
