New Challenge - The Great Courses

I just recently was listening to podcasts which advertised for one-month free subscriptions for "The Great Courses" for photography and cooking.  I decided to give the cooking course a try and I immediately fell in love.  I have been watching episodes of "The Everyday Gourmet" and cannot get enough.  I have the month of March to work through all of the recipes.  So far, I have had quite a bit of success with poaching.  Last night, I poached cod in beef stock and some other seasonings and it turned out GREAT!!  I shallow poached a small fillet of cod and reduced down the poaching liquid.  I added a little bit of flour to make more of a gravy than a wine sauce (because I didn't have any appropriate wine).  I will definitely continue making the dishes from the course.   I want to try fish and chips next.  A lot of what is taught so far I already know, but I don't mind listening to it while I chop veggies and prepare meals.  I highly recommend you check it out if you get the chance.  I'll share more as I explore the different dishes and I'll add more detail to how in fact I prepared the dishes in the future.
