Hola, Marta:
Para el taller del jueves (19:00) vamos a preparar un guiso y una ensalada. ¿Te importaría encargarte de la parte de mise en place del grupo 2?
- dorar la cebolla y dejarla lista
- cortar las verduras en dados
- rallar un poco de queso para el final
Si te falta algún utensilio (bol/tazón/recipiente), dímelo y lo llevo yo. Gracias 🙂
— Lucía (coordinación)
Hi Marta:
For Thursday’s workshop (7:00 PM) we’re going to make a stew and a salad. Would you mind taking care of the mise en place for group 2?
- brown the onion and have it ready
- cut the vegetables into cubes
- grate a little cheese at the end
If you’re missing any utensil (bowl/large bowl/container), tell me and I’ll bring it. Thanks 😊

Sí, me encargo de la mise en place del grupo 2. Llegaré sobre las 18:40 para dorar la cebolla con calma y dejar las verduras cortadas en dados.
Una duda: ¿habrá rallador en la cocina o prefieres que lo lleve yo? Puedo llevar un bol grande, pero no tengo tazón.
Gracias y nos vemos el jueves.
Marta
Hi Lucía:
Yes, I’ll take care of the mise en place for group 2. I’ll arrive around 6:40 PM to brown the onion calmly and have the vegetables cut into cubes.
One question: will there be a grater in the kitchen, or would you prefer that I bring one? I can bring a large bowl, but I don’t have a mixing bowl.
Thanks and see you on Thursday.
Marta
