REFLECTION…
For this lab we had to do a double recipe, we had to make some rustic bread which was quite a new way to make bread for me which i was super curious to see how it would turn out. We also had to make something call a Shakshuka which was a dish i never heard of before as well so this lab was i very new thing for me which made it more fun to make and taste. The methods we used to make these recipes were flour mixture and yeast bread for the rustic bread and egg cookery, knife skills and mis en place for the Shakshuka. For the recipe we had to do it within two days, we prepared the bread and let it sit and rise overnight on day one, and on day two we made the Shakshuka and cooked the bread which we ate at the end of that class. What went well for me was communicating with my group in the kitchen, time management by quickly finishing the recipes and cleaning up our unit while everything was cooking and getting ready to eat, and finally i thought that my knife skills improved a whole lot throughout the lab. I think that the one of the big things i need to work on is trying to step up in my unit because i want to try and improve my cooking ability and skill so to do so i think i need to try and take responsibility for more tasks in the kitchen, this would benefit me and my fellow teammates.
Overall i think that it was a very successful lab and i was very proud of how the final product turned out and i would definitely make this again at home because it would be a cool thing to show my family what I’ve learned in class by making them a more complex dish like the Shukshuka. For these reasons i think that i would give mine and my teammates performance during this lab 5 stars
