On Tuesday the 4th of October 2011 I started with a new course called cheffing... Which is kind of ironic as a microwave is my best friend! We started off by getting dressed in the correct clothing for this specific course. We as skills wear white and the permanent chefs wear green chefs jackets and black pants. I started in the cold kitchen where they prepare things like salads, toasted sandwiches and side salads.
First thing that I had to learn was how to cut and how to position my hands while cutting. With that we learn't cutting methods such as chiffonade( leafy veg. cut), mire-poix( roughly cut veg.) and brunoice( small blocks of veg.) as well as the different cutting boards needed for the different types of food product.
I did some dishes because you need to keep your station clean whilst working and I baked pancakes for welcoming that afternoon.
