Long Time No Update. BUSY BUSY BUSY.
Superior has been quite daunting.
It has brought quite a few new things into my life. like the restaurant. different timeframes. different skills required to keep the pace. improved tastes.
i will leave you with some pictures of superior cuisine food. enjoy




i thought the presentation for this dish was rather nice. for a first attempt.
it can only get better.

BUSY WEEK!!!!

Sorry for the late post. ive been quite occupied with classwork. umm yeah last weeks menu was quite enjoyable even the 3 course menu we had.surprisingly the crepes were easier than i thought. To all visitors to my blog thanks for visiting. The menu for the week was

Mignons of Venison with Cherry Sauce
~
Tulip Baskets with Lemon Cream

i undercooked my venison. and im not going to give excuses. so i didnt put it up
the tulip baskets were quite nice and might i add. pretty enjoyable. yummy too. but very fattening. these baskets are very delicate and they crumble very easily

next menu was a menu i quite enjoyed. simple yes fantastic

Grilled Chicken & Risotto
~
Savarin with Strawberries

Three Course menu to end the week. but with a little teamwork. it became quite easy. allll yummy yummy food.

Tian of Roast Tomatoes with Glazed Onions
~
Poached Veal Fillet
~
Raspberry Crepes with Mint Sabayon

Today we have Steak Tartare. hopefully that turns out alright. very dangerous dish there as alot of chefs would know. Hope all my readers are in good health. thanks for visiting. hope you enhoy. if anybody wants to leave a comment please feel free to. would appreciate a shoutout as well with names and stuff.

Long Week

LONG UPDATE!. Well Normal Update actually.
The week that just went past we had quite hectic classes because we had to do our first 3 course meal and the 3 course meal was

Blue Eye Cod en Paplilotte
~
Lamb Noisettes with Coriander Pesto and Wilted Spinach

Poached Pears in Orange Syrup

and then we had a relatively nice menu the next day which i thought was pretty cool that its not 3 course meals stacked over one another. we had

Roasted Quails with Glazed Turned Veg. & Chateau Potatoes

Poppy Seed Syrup Cake

next on the menu were quite nice dishes but the tart wasnt to my tasting

Saute of Chicken Basque
~
Patissiere Cream Flan

Lemme Know What You Think about the dishes. and to Raymond thanks for reading my blog.

Bavarois a la Vanille

Sauce au Cafe

so there you go today's menu quite simple. eventhough there was not much prep to do it still took some time. today got to try sugar work for once. as u can see on my bavarian cream it looks quite ok for a first timer. and oh yes i did a rose today. completely out of sugar. heheheh. quite hard but so pleasing nevertheles. sugar work is something ive always wanted to try but never go the chance to. and im quite proud of my first attempts. Chef Vito "im italiano" was quite gracious with he remarks about my sugar work. he said that my flower wasnt too bad for a first timer and says it will get better when i get into intermediate. so yeah. quite pleased. the food all tasted great so its nice.

MY SUGAR FLOWER !!!!!!!! (hand made)

Poussin en Cocotte A l'Estaragon w/ Pommes William

Poussin en Cocotte A l'Estragon
~
Pommes William

simple nice dish. chicken with tarragon and william potatoes.
very nice and homely dish. i can just imagine this in france with family members over for dinner. grand mother at the stove. kids running around. parents talking over wine.
not so much the william potatoes but the chicken with tarragon.
chicken was simeple enough nothing too complicated. but the potatoes were something.
notice the shape. can u guess what its meant to resemble.


hopefully u guessed pears because thats what its meant to be...
simply put its mashed potatoes that are moulded and then deep fried till its nice and golden brown.
and this week will mark the end of basic cuisine. will miss the people that are leaving us physically but not in communication wise. i could not have asked for a better team. the people on my bench are like the best team members ive got. and hopefully it will be that way till superior when we work the restaurant.
anyways i gtg
tata
