Skills 1 Day 10

Mushroom Duxelle Stuffed Mushrooms

Cauliflower Gratin

Day 10...Friday! Finally this week seemed to drag on but Friday came in no time, which is awesome because we are all exhausted! Today we made Bechamel Sauce, mornay Sauce which is Bechamel sauce with the addition of gruyere and Parmesan cheese. We also made cauliflower gratin, and mushroom duxelle stuffed tomatoes with persillade (bread crumbs with parsley and garlic) on top. I completed my knife tray in our first 45 minute tray, which was so nice to have completed and done with. We then made all of the components for our dishes today. There was a lot of steps and we had to do them all in the correct order. I had a lot of fun making all of the components because it was fast paced and an adrenalin rush! It took about an hour and 15 minutes to complete everything. Luckily chef was happy with all of my work and that was a good thing to hear on Friday! We cleaned up the kitchen and today was kitchen appreciation day, meaning we have to clean every little corner in the kitchen from top to bottom. We completed the clean up, bagged all the stocks, and had lecture for an hour and a half, and it is officially the weekend! Time for us to catch up on sleep and not be stressed for at least 2 days, yay!
