Hello Everyone,

Good job this week. This week we continued our work in getting used to the expectations and routines in the kitchen. It is key that we get comfortable with the routines and expectations that we find in the kitchen. Through becoming more conformable in these expectations, we will become more skilled in meeting them. Over time and with experience we will be able to complete more complected tasks in the same limited time that we have. This is the basis of experiential learning and practicing skills. This week we experienced the difference between cake with and without eggs and how that impacted not only the texture but the process and how it looks, tastes and smells.

Have a great weekend.

We will continue this investigation this week and you will again practice the “cutting in the fat” process to create a flaky and delicate end product. Have a good weekend.
