This week we did every kind of breakfast foods you can think of. The picture above is Chef Pierre demonstrating how to make a crepe. I have to say i was most excited to learn this because i heard they were difficult. We made several things including: pancakes, french toast, omelets, crepes, quiche, and every different kind of eggs you can think of. Here are how my crepes turned out....
We also did some grilling. We made a london broil only with lamb instead of flank steak. We also grilled some shrimp kebabs. I definately enjoy this class but i have to say there is a major annoyance that i just can't get past. My teammate, who just happens to already be a chef so naturally he knows everything, likes to critique everything i do and likes to take charge like he's the professor. It's quite annoying and the fact that he uses the F-word every other word just makes it that but worse. I finally asked him one day to stop and he said, "Just get used to it, this is kitchen talk." I'm going to try really really hard to let it go. I've asked Chef Pierre if we can switch teams soon so hopefully we will soon!
Chef Pierre demonstrating how to do a rolled omelet. YUMMY! We also had our midterm this week on the second day. We had to make Consumme soup, bechamel sauce, mayonnaise, and hollandaise sauce. All of my cooking part of the midterm turned out very well. Chef Pierre said i seasoned everything very well and as you know that's what makes the difference. We had to do some knife skills also. We had to julienne a carrot, and celery. We had to segment an orange. We had to remove the skins and chop a tomato. We had to dice an onion, and we also had to batonnet a potato (pretty much julienne just a little bigger). Next week is Veggies..should be fun!
