I enjoy learning how to cook and learning new techniques, such as when we learned different knife skills. The first trick I remember Chef Jamie teaching us was to always crack your eggs into separate bowls in case one egg wasn’t good. I also remember the tip about washing your hands with a metal spoon to get rid of the garlic smell. And of course, I like getting the discount to use at the end of class so I can get some new cooking gadgets.
The tips and tricks; why certain things in cooking are the way they are, and what gives certain foods their taste.
I want to continue to learn more advanced skills because it seems like we are refining our skills in these classes. I like to know the correct way of doing things because the correct way is usually easier and if it is the correct way, it usually tastes better! Chef Robin told us to always cut peppers with the skin down, that way it’s easier to cut them. She also taught us the right way to cut an onion, and I’m still trying to remind my mom not to cut the root!

I’ve made the jalapeño coleslaw chicken sandwiches for out of state friends. I make the egg drop soup every so often as an after school snack. I also liked recreating the lemon chicken, lasagna and a lot of the desserts too. I still need to make the clam chowder that was so good.
I’m pretty adventurous. I love trying new things so I wouldn’t say I have a favorite.
No, not at all. I think it’d be difficult job, but I do want to learn how to cook better.
I’d like to cook foods from exotic countries and learn more advanced techniques.
