School Favourite Lab

My favourite lab so far is the fettuccine Alfredo because it was one of the tastiest and I’m glad that I learned how to make a home-made sauce so now I can make it at home. The fettuccine noodles were very “al dente” and the sauce was perfectly creamy and tasted great. the sauce was made with fresh parmesan which made it test as good as it did, we also put nutmeg, salt, and pepper into the sauce which added great flavour. A challenge I had in this lab was cooking the noodles long enough and knowing when to take it off the heat and strain the noodles. The greatest success was probably the sauce because the flavours were on point as well as the texture was just as good. I’m most proud the preparation of this lab because without doing everything first the sauce and everything wouldn’t of came out the same.

The omelet lab was probably one if my favourites because it was the most fun and I got to try out my knifes skills and sautéing skills as well. This recipe had many different types of ingredients from potatoes to eggs with very much flavour added to them. I didn’t have very much challenges in this lab just because it was a pretty straight forward recipe and I knew exactly what I had to do for my partner and i. My successes were that I fully cooked everything perfectly and flipped my half of the egg onto the top of my “stuffing” of my omelet.

My knife skills got a lot better while cutting veggies and fruit for my omelet and breakfast hash. I had no idea how to hold a knife properly or comfortably, but I do know now and I’m actually very good at it. We showed our different types of knife skills as in dicing, mincing and the way you cut spinach and leafy greens.
