SUMMARY/PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS
When making the potato soup with mussels and leeks, it is important to make sure the mussels are cooked last because it is very easy to over cook them so they become rubbery. The soup could have been smoother so straining it would hep tremendously. Give yourself enough time and liquid to fully cook the lentils through.
CHEFS CRITIQUES
Lentil Ragout had good assertive smokey flavor that with the earthiness of the lentils were perfect together. Presentation was appealing visually.
