Culinary Days

As I said on my previous post, I finished Professional Culinary Arts at Global Culinary and Hospitality Academy. I never thought that I'd end up taking this course since I don't really cook. The desire towards food started when my mom was constantly watching Iron Chef America every weekend that I found myself getting hooked to the show too. I asked my parents if I could just take up Culinary Arts instead of finishing my course (I was in 2nd year college taking up BS-IHM that time). Luckily, my parents agreed and so I took up the course! :)

During my graduation last year.

Some of the dishes taught to us:

Chicken Blanquette

Pork Loin with Polenta and Sauce Chasseur 

Fish and Chips with Tartar Sauce

Fillets of Sole and Spinach Mousse in White Wine Sauce

Chicken Supreme with Mashed Potato in Olive Oil and Balsamic Reduction

There's still more!!! Sadly, I don't have a picture of them anymore. :( Anyway, the whole course consists of 4 levels (1 month per each level). Upon finishing level 4, we had this 'culminating activity' called Restaurant Week that'll run for 3 days in which we will be the guest, server and cook. I tell you, when it was my team's turn as cooks, it's like Hell's Kitchen! Hahaha!

Appetizer: Fresh Caprese Skewers

Prosciutto Salad

Vongole Negra

Palette Cleanser: Watermelon Granita

Main Course: Chicken Roulade 

Dessert: Tiramisu

Peace! Haha!

Whew! I really am nostalgic right now! T'was fun reminiscing and sharing these photos with you guys! Next post: Baking!? Yes? :)
