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