Week 7: Event and Chicken

Today is the soup event day. All my group members are very excited! 

As this is the first event, I was very nervous, it will be bad if I do something wrong. But during the event, everything was going perfect. I think that all of us did great job and our soup was great!

This is my first cooking event, and I have seen a lot of good ideas from other stations, all students were excited and worked hard to have the best soup and show. From the event I have learned that everything begin with small things, if we can do all small things and finish them with effort and patience we can do all we want.

On the second day we learned to deal with the whole chicken. The teacher used a skilled knife to cut a chicken into different parts quickly. I often cook chicken at home myself. But I never knew how to handle a whole chicken. We will put the chicken wings, chicken legs, chicken breast separated.

I cooked chicken at home many times, I like the chicken soup. But the hardest part is how to handle with the whole chicken. I just cut it into pieces then cooked it in the past. But after this class, I know how to do it, the chef has showed us step by step as above video. It is really great.
