So, this week was midterm week. Last week, Chef told us that we would all be making and presenting our own recipe from the New England chapter...no help from our teammates. At least, that what everyone thought he said. Then on Wednesday, he sent an email out at 4:00 (2 hours before class started) saying that we would be making and presenting a 3-course meal. Again, leading us to believe we had to do it on our own...no help from our teammates. We then got to class and to our relief, we are told that we can work as a team to make the 3-course meal but we have to plate and present the meal individually.
Every group had to make clam chowder and I think every group had to make the blueberry peach cobbler. There were maybe two or three different entrees that the class was working on. Thank goodness for be able to work with the team because there is no way in hell I'd have been able to make a 3-course meal in 2.5 hours.
Anyways, I'm not really happy with my presentation for the entree but whatevs. I think I got an A...maybe a B. And I got 9 out of 10 on the knife skills portion of the midterm on Thursday (15 minutes to do 10 cuts...I did 9 out of 10 of them).
