A busy week has finally come to an end. Honestly, it went by so fast and I'm really enjoying class.
My class right now starts at 12:45 in the afternoon and we get out close to 1:00 am most nights yet the time flys by. It's nice to stay busy all day.
Here's a preview of American Bounty and my class thus far (excuse the crappy photos, this is all through the point of view of my beloved cell phone camera)
This is my lovely home on the Hot Apps Station
This is American Bounty BOH(back of house) aka my classroom really
Here is a shot of the rest of the hot line, where the entrees come to life--cheezy, right?
This is the Gnocchi that I make with fava beans, lobster, corn & roasted red peppers
This is one of the Foie Gras specials from this week that I make; this one had brioche, strawberry preserves, peanut butter & candied, spiced almonds
and this is a really big whisk...
I mean come on it's sort of ridiculous...
And now I am going to enjoy my weekend (sunday-monday) because the restaurant is open on Saturdays! phew what a week
One of my former bosses is an instructor at CIA. I know it is a big campus but his name is Eric Schawaroch.
ReplyDeleteI only hear good things about the program at CIA
I used to live close to the CIA and would go to American Bounty every chance I got. I think it is by far the best restaurant there. So cool you are working there!
ReplyDeletethat's awesome! I love the class so far, and the food is hands down the best I have had at this school, I am really impressed by the chef....did you live in poughkeepsie?
ReplyDeleteChef Schawarockh...I think he was my teacher/chef in the quantity food kitchen. Or they just coincidentally have the same name?
ReplyDeleteNot that common a name i would guess it was him.
