My 2nd Week of Basic Culinary Skills 2 (BCS2) at AICA

Hello Everyone!

Phew, this week was a tiny little bit stressful for me, because it was finally my turn to be the Sous Chef of the week. It was my first time, so i was a little but confused at the beginning.

Every week in school, there is going to be one person of our class who will be the "Sous Chef". The Sous Chef is responsible for all the Ingredients the class will need for each day. He/She will be given a list of all ingredients, which the Sous Chef has to check and divide into (in our case) 4.
And sometimes it can be a LOT.

On the first 2 days I was a little bit confused, cause I didn't know where to start and where to find the "missing" ingredients. I really didn't want to do any mistakes.
Oh anyways, it all went well. And I guess I was able to organize everything pretty well. I just went to School an hour earlier every day, so I would have enough time to prepare everything for everyone. :)

Okay, Let me show you the Food we cooked during our second week. :)

On Day 1 it was all about Poaching (cooking food at below simmering temperature). So on this day we cooked Fish Paupiettes and Poached Spring Chicken.

On Day 2, it was all about deep-fat frying. We fried some Calamari, Tempura and Onions

 Oh Look at this one! i found the "outcome" of this particular onion ring really funny! reminded me of a Reindeer Antler hehe


Day 3: Fried Chicken with Potato Wedges and Milk Gravy



Day 4: Pork Schnitzel with Sauce Chasseur (or Jägerschnitzel In German), French Fries and Buttered Vegetables.


And day 4 was the end of the school week :) I'll post about the 3rd week tomorrow or this weekend :)
Thanks for reading :)
