today in lab we worked with red meats. first we were introduced to a couple different cuts, such as the pork loin and ribs. we made a couple different dishes including meat loaf, pan seared pork chops, fried pork cutlets, and grilled tenderloin. this lab was probably my favorite lab to date because i love [...]
to start, chef backus foster was not our instructor today; seargent behr filled in for her. he ran class a little differently, instead of showing us what to do then setting up stations he showed us what to do and let us free in the kitchen pretty much. we chose which methods we wanted to [...]

So I went into lab yesterday thinking that we were going to sit there and listen to our teacher talk about rules of the kitchen, where everything is, and basicly do nothing, which, we did, but we also practiced our knife cuts. Honestly I was very surprised that we actually went straight to working. I really like [...]
