What I Learned

The past four weeks I have learned so much about cooking. Five weeks ago I would never have known what a julienne cut was or a brunoise. I have learned how to properly cooks eggs. I never knew that when the egg turned brown it was burnt because that's how I always had them. One week we made steaks and now I know how to cook them right and they are very good medium rare. I always used to have my steaks medium well but medium rare is way better. I can make fresh cut french fries which by the way are very yummy. I have learned a lot about rice. I didn't know there were so many different kinds of rice. I had never had rissoto before but I had to make it for a homework assignment and it was delicious. This week I learned all about frying foods and oils. Everything tasted great. We had to fry okra and I had never had that before and it was delicious. I will start eating that more often now. I can't believe how much I have learned in the short time I have been at school and I still have so much more to learn but I'm ready and up for the challenge.
