Once the mise en place is complete, the next step is creating the scheme of work to ensure smooth and efficient work flow. Here is a structured approach:

Prioritize Tasks

Order of preparation: begin with tasks that take the longest [ie. Pomme Marquise piping and baking] and work towards quick finish items like Sauce Béchamel.

Simultaneous Cooking;

Identify tasks that can happen concurrently [ie. while potatoes cook other items can be assembled].

Time Management

Estimate durations. assign approximate times for each task. for instance:

Pommes Marquise : 45 minutes total [boiling, mahing, shaping and baking]

Sauce Béchamel: 15 minutes [Roux, preparation and whisking].

Clean as you go …
