So, I've already started my next culinary class. According to the instructor, this class is less about technique, and more about taste profiles and presentation.
The first week was the usual organization stuff. We did have to choose our teams, and we did a little team building challenge, which my team won.
The second week, we talked about menus a little. We talked about writing menu item titles and descriptions. We also covered a list of criteria to use when evaluating food.
We also learned how to sharpen our knives. We got to practice on a variety of oil stones.
Part of the class assignment is putting together a 'creativity journal'. Chef's been kind of vague on what all is supposed to go in there. In an example he had available to look at, most of the entries seemed to be images from magazines, cut out and criticized on presentation. I don't think that will be my bent, but I suspect a lot of my entries on the blog will be printed out and placed in my journal.
