Art Institute: Week 3 Day 2 Soups

Good evening :) How was you day today? Whooo hooo!! My day was productive and exciting :) Today, in food safety and sanitation class ( 9 am- 12:00pm) we learned about cross contamination ( physical, chemical harzards) and also we got the result from the quiz last week!!! I did average.. I need to work on preventing second guessing myself!!! I also took a quiz today regarding cross contamination. I am more confident with my answers this time. :) We also watched a video on physical and chemical hazards on restaurants :) Easy day today!

Chef Kloeble Fundamentals of classical techniques. ( 12:30pm-5:30pm)

Once again... Chef Cochran was absent.... :( But!!! Chef Kloeble took over our class for this week. He had a different teaching style which gave me a different perspective and learned different techniques :) Today, we cooked soups!! I cooked minestrone; Marisela cooked the cold potato leek vichyssoise , Omar cooked the steamy hot broccoli cream soup while Aaron cooked french onion soup! All of us worked together on split pea soup :) Unfortunately, we didn't finish cooking the minestrone and split pea soup.. :( due to lack of time management! Next week.. New opportunity to make it better. Now that we understand the concept of action plan :) Chef Kloeble was taking pictures of us.. but he hasn't uploaded the pictures yet.. however, here's our group picture taken by the end of class

It was very rewarding to work with wonderful team mates and a passionate chef :) I LEARNED many techniques and thankfully Chef Kloeble did a review way back from week 1!! Thank you Chef Kloeble :) The review helped me understand the material better! What did you learn today ? ( Feel free to comment below)
