Foundations: Lab #2- Steaming

Today in class we had our first knife skills test.
Here is a photo:

Basil Chiffonade
Tomato Concasse
Minced Garlic
Minced Parsley

I did pretty well, I just need to make my mincing a little smaller, practice is key!

After our skills test, Chef Cheramie showed us our next knife skills (Classic Cuts) and demoed the Steamed Salmon that we were cooking in class.


I learned how to make a vinaigrette, which was knew for me, and enjoyed learning how to do so. I also learned more about steaming food, I think it will be a good idea for future use. We cooked Salmon and learned that I actually loved it, it's not a normal food that I usually like to eat. The color was nice and the vinaigrette was an amazing compliment to the Salmon.

Here is a photo of my finished product:
