Week 3 October 23-31st

We learned how to cook chicken in different methods such as roast whole, grill thighs, poaching whole, deep fry thighs, and pan fried in class. Also, we made some risotto and rice pilaf this week. I did okay with everything. We learned how to en papillons and poaching a chicken with a paper cover with little hole in the middle. We had a event on Saturday 24 for presidential scholarship ball and it was big fancy event with everyone else dressing up. I was nervous and stressing out about spilling food over someone's fancy dress, but luckily I didn't. Few pictures of my classmates and my Chef and decoration of the table at the event. Here are my journals:

October 20-22 week 2

For this first week in kitchen October 20-22nd. First day, we did some knife cuts and it was review. I still need to get better and practice a lot at home and school. My first goal for knife cuts is constituency size because I had varied sizes which is not good thing. Then rest of week, we learned to cut a chicken in halves, quarters, and ten pieces. Another thing that we had to learn was sauté and roast the chicken which it was my favorite because we put vary stuff inside chicken. I put shallots, cloves, sage, thyme, and lemon which it was perfect stuff together. I had fun learning and can't wait to learn more on my journey. Here are my journals for this past week
