This is a list of everything you'll need for each course
If you're a beginner, or very comfortable, makes a kitchen. When I started cooking I was a hungry teenager. I could make something from what we had to cook with. We need to know what "kind" of chef you are. A beginner will have few tools to cook with. The more knowledgeable will have more. The advanced will have a well stocked kitchen. If you're more than a beginner we assume you have a lot of equipment. Never-the-less, here's a list of everything we can think of that you'll need.
First Course - Knife cuts
A sack of russet potato's. A bag of carrots, celery, six onions, three bulbs of garlic, five tomatoes, one yellow, orange and red pepper, fresh basil and a chefs knife. If you have knives better suited, we'll use them.
