I cooked at an Italian Restauant for 5 years and for a dinner theatre for two years. I love to cook. Anything Italian!! Serving over 300 hundred people, twice a day and not making any noticeable mistakes While making eggplant parmagania for a buffet, I breaded the eggplant but forgot to fry it before baking it. When I attempted to transfer it from the pan the entire breading slid right off with the sauce and cheese, I was left with bare eggplant.
