Ok so today was theory day again so no cooking. I dont take pictures of demonstrations so thought it would be a good idea to upload pictures of my fellow students or anything else of interest about the social side of the course. The picture above includes myself, Ray, Sean & Owen.

Rory O'Connell did the morning demo to include:

Roast Rib of Beef, curried parsnips, gravy, horseradish sauce & yorkshire puddings
Cassoulet
Lamb Shanks
Braised short ribs
Tapenade, anchoide & dukkah with Crudité
Mayonnaise & Aoili
Simmnel Cake

Very interesting indeed. So off to eat all the lovely things that were made in demo & some extras that our lovely teachers made behind the scenes such as roast potatoes, chocolate mousse, chocolate ice-cream & green salad. You cant have a meal without green salad - helps you digest and have room for dessert & maybe even cheese! Tasty stuff.

Back to the classroom with Darina giving the afternoon demo on oils, vinegars & preserving to start.

Then on to job opportunities when we finish the course. This included an array of exciting jobs such as Food Trucks, Food Stylist & Ski Chalet chef. We were also warned to be aware when working on yachts as you may be thought of as the captains perk

So we have to start applying for jobs now and we cant even cook properly yet - eek!
