Day 7 - Dumplings

Today we made dumplings! We started by making the dough with water and flour, and while that rested, we made the fillings. Each group made either pork, chicken, or vegetarian fillings, with mushrooms, onions, and spices, and some groups also made dumplings filled with Nutella. Once the dough was ready, each group flattened their dough and filled each dumpling, then either steamed or pan-fried them. My group's favorite was definitely the Nutella dumplings. After we finished eating, we cleaned our areas and started planning our food for tomorrow.

Day 3 - Grilled cheese sandwich + creamy tomato soup + a fresh Caesar salad

Image
  DAY 3 3-18-26 by Angelica  Today, we started off at the high school and played a really fun and interactive game where we got into groups and pretended we were opening our own restaurant. Each group had to come up with a concept, plan out how we would run it, and make decisions as if it were a real business. As the game went on, we were given different challenges, like dealing with unexpected problems or figuring out how to attract more customers. This activity lasted until around 9:30, and it was a great way to start the day because it got everyone engaged and thinking. After that, we headed over to the BC campus to begin cooking. Once we arrived, we started by gathering all the ingredients we needed. We worked together to prepare a grilled cheese with tomato sauce and a salad. Everyone had an important task, whether it was cutting, cooking, or organizing, which made the process go very smoothly. While the rest of the food was cooking, we also made rice ahead of time so it ...

Today in M-term Art of Cooking, we made fried rice and orange chicken. To start the day, we had two rounds of bingo in which we all had the same sheet of paper and had to ask around if people related to the bingo sheet. The first sheet was normal stuff, like for example, “prefers nut- free”, whereas the second sheet had things like “chocolate and marinara sauce”. When we finished with the Bingo, we received our recipes and left for the Bissonet campus. When we arrived, we got started on our sauce and chicken. For the sauce, we added orange juice, orange zest, ginger, rice vinegar, and multiple other seasonings. And for the chicken, we added vegetable oil to a pot, prepared a bowl of egg, and a bowl of flour and cornstarch to dip the chicken in and then fry. -fav meanl- We had already prepared rice the day prior, so we would have more time today.

Today we made chicken pot pie and fruit pie! We started off the day at the museum campus, and then we headed to the Bissonet campus, where we started preparing the food. The first thing we did was put our aprons on and hairnets to make a video for the incoming new students to say welcome. The first thing we started making was the dough for both pies. We used flour, butter, water and iced water we let that sit in the fridge until we were done preapering the fillings. Meanwhile, the dough was in the fridge, we started making the custard for the fruit pie. We mixed the egg yolks, cornstarch and the sugar together and then added to the boiling milk with vanilla. It created a thick paste as the base of the fruit tart. Then we went ahead and started preapering our chicken pot pie by mixing onion, garlic, mushrooms and carrots together and sauted them, when it was all ready we added evaporated milk, flour, and chicken broth and it became a thick consitency then we added the roasted chicken as...
