For this final lab of the course we were tasked with making our very own sushi, we had to prep our own nori to roll the sushi on and the veggies that we were going to use as filler for the sushi, we also had to learn how to roll our own sushi.

The vegetables i chose for my sushi was avocado, peppers, carrots and a little bit of green peppers, i was going for a bit of a California roll type of sushi.

What went well for me was my knife skills because for the veggies had to cut them pretty thin so i feel that i did a pretty good job in doing so.

Next time i need to work on paying more attention to the recipe because i forgot to add the filler with the rice before rolling it but thankfully i was able to fix my mistake with a little help.

Overall i was super happy with how they turned out and i’m really glad that i was able to make them for the first time. i would definitely make these again because i would love to try and mix up the fillers to try something different, plus i’m pretty sure my family would love to try them sometime.

For all these reasons i would give this lab 5/5 stars.

For this big lab we had to make an entire Greek dinner for our whole group to share at the end, we make some popular Greek foods like roasted potatoes, chicken souvlaki, Greek salad, pita bread and tzatziki to top it off.

For this we had to work with our group and split the jobs to help prepare this awesome feast. My job was to prepare the tzatziki and the greek salad which wasn’t really hard at all.

The tzarziki didn’t have a lot of steps to it but it was a lot of waiting around for the water to come out of the cucumber so I took that time to help out my group a little with there tasks while I waited for mine to be ready.

For the Greek salad it was fairly simple as well for the majority of the time i found myself mostly preparing the vegetables that were going to be put in the salad and then making the dressing to go on top.

What went well for me was my confidence on my own because I had to work on my own a lot and i found that i did a pretty good job and the food came out really well. I also found that my knife skills improved a bit because i had to prep a lot of food using the knife mainly for the Greek salad.

Next time i need to work on my communication with my group a little bit more because I felt that I should have been asking about how my groups progress was going and seeing if I could help them a bit more.

Overall I was really happy with how everything turned out and I feel that me and my group did a great job with the food and i’m glad to have had them in my group. I would definitely make this again because me and my family love Greek food and I would really like to make it for them someday.

For all these reasons I would give this lab 5/5 stars

For our first day back from winter break we were tasked with making our very own fruit skillet cake from scratch, which was a a dish that I’ve seen before but never actually eaten before so I was pretty excited to get the chance to try it for myself.

That methods that we used in this dish was the flour mixture method, quick bread and the cake method.

What I think went well for me during this lab was my groups time management skills which I thought went well. I also believe that my confidence was really good in the this lab, i found that i didn’t need to ask many questions throughout the lab. I also think that the communication between me and my partner was also pretty good during the lab and I found that it helped us get things done faster.

Next time i need to work on be a little more organized during the lab.

Overall I think that this lab went very well and i was really happy with how the final product turned out.

For the reasons above I would give this lab 5/5 stars

For this big December lab we had make a our own Christmas dinner from scratch as a group, we were tasked with making all the classic dishes that are had over the holidays like glazed carrots, mashed potatoes, stuffing and a Christmas chicken.

As a group we were all in charge of our duties that we needed to follow to help complete this final product. I was in charge of preparing the mashed potatoes and I also helped around when my group needed it.

What went well during this lab was our time management skills were pretty good and I feel that we did a good job sticking to the schedule. I also think that we did a great job staying organized throughout the lab and overall the dished turned out amazing too.

Next time I need to work on my communication with my group because I made the mistake of cutting the potatoes to small due to me being kind of confused so next time I’ll make sure to ask if I need help.

Overall I was very proud with how everything turned out and would love to make it again sometime for me and my family to have over the holidays.

For these reasons I would give myself a 4.5/5

For this lab we had to make our very own agnolotti pasta from scratch, over three days of cooking. We had to make the dough, roll it out and finally cook them till they were ready to eat. For this recipe we had to use a pasta maker which was a first for me but I had no problem because my group helped me through the whole thing.

What went well for me was my communication with my group and I felt I did a pretty good job learning and using the pasta maker where the dough came out really well, I also feel I did a pretty good job when preparing the actual pasta’s like cutting, folding and filling them.

Something I can work on for next time is to try and be a little faster because we really cut it close near the end of this recipe.

Overall I think this dish turned out really well and they tasted really good too. I would definitely make these again because these are one of my more favorite pasta’s and I would like to make it for my family sometime.

For all these reasons I would give this lab a 5/5
