Class Evaluation

Overall, I really enjoyed the class this quarter. It was a great experience and I really enjoyed learning how to make a variety of meals. It also gave me a greater appreciation for what goes into running a restaurant and the time management it takes to cook foods for a large group in a set amount of time. I think the class itself was fine the way it was. I am not sure if this had been done but in case it wasn't, I would maybe suggest to take the first 15 minutes or so of the first class period to take a tour of the kitchen just to familiarize students with where everything is. I know the first few times in the kitchen it took me a while to realize where everything was located. The only other suggestion I would have is I enjoyed being able to have input on the menu, so maybe give the students one or two more lab periods where they can choose the recipes themselves.

This week we had a pretty busy week...We made extra recipes for both days...Wednesday fran came in to evaluate our cooking and to see if we had improved from the start of the quarter. I helped make prime rib, and cream of brocolli and spinach. I feel like the speed at which I work has improved over the course of the quarter and my efficiency has gotten alot better. I did a better job of cleaning as I go which helped save time. I finally know where most of the stuff in the kitchen is, but there are still some times where there is an ingredient missing and I have to ask for help. Looking forward to this final week where we get to make the recipes we chose.
