Hardest weekend ever, i worked so hard, on 11 march - 13 march 2011

I had a hard working weekend, where me, kieron and alon had to work split shifts, we did mise on place for vleisvreeters and got most of all the dishes ready we served rice, venison potjie, beef roll, pap, peri peri chicken, lemon and herb chicken and butternut with carrots. me and kieron were in the kithen cleaning it all by ourselves and we went to the boma after that and worked with alon at the vleis vreeters, it was a hectic night and we only slept at 11 and had to wake up at 6 the next morning

We woke up and me and alon went to work at 7:15, kieron didn't work because he got stung by a bee the previous day and me and alon had to do the cvp breakfast alone, with kobus who did the toast, alon did bacon and tomatoes and i made eggs, i cut myself in the morning also and was unable to work in front of the guests at the end of the breakfast< me and alon were very tired, there were more than 50 people at once and i didn't sleep well the previous night. Me and alon made fritards and keish for the students and it took most of the day, it was very exciting and we enjoyed it.There after we cleaned the kitchen and went home at 3:30

Sunday chef  told us to take it easy and clean, i cleaned the fridge and we all went home at 3:30 it was a slow day, we only made different pizzas and cleaned, not very exciting, sorry

Weekly feedback 28 february- 4 march

We worked at the academy training kitchen, main kitchen and at the resource center the whole week, we learnt about doing vegetable cuts like julienne, brunoise and making stock pots, its was mostly about vegetables and how they must be treated, we even made swiss chard rolls.

their were important lessons when using knives and how to prepare beforehand. In the main kitchen we did deep cleaning the whole week, where we had to clean everything and make sure all the dirt was gone.




My week was as interesting as any other, but i enjoyed it and i had a great weekend of cheffing, where i had to make student food, i made sandwiches, meat samoosas and chicken filos. i was off duty the rest of the weekend

till next time, bye bye!

 we also made giblets(chicken), which wasnt that bad, but i am not used to it, which chef told us, we need to acquire these foreign tastes and delicassy's
