Our exams were in the evening so we had a demo on pizza! Lots of different variations & other pizzeria ideas.
Break for lunch to eat lots of pizzas while your stomach turns with the nerves about the upcoming exam, dun dun dun!!
For the exam we had to learn 14 herbs & 15 salad leaves & practice 30 different techniques.
So I arrived at the school and waited anxiously outside the kitchens to be called in. The windows had been covered in newspaper so we couldn't see in, it was all very serious.
First I had to do the technique bit - I got shown to the area I would be working in and was asked to joint a chicken, sweat an onion, segment an orange & make a paper icing bag. Everything went really well except the chicken, not sure I did it the way they had shown us to do it but I got there in the end so hope it was enough.
Next I had to name 10 salad leaves & 10 herbs & name 2 recipes that can be made using each herb. Then I had to assemble a magimix (food processor), pour a glass of wine & arrange a place setting.
After all the nerves, it was actually fine - get the results on Monday though so we'll see how I feel about it then!
No pics of Friday so took this picture of our house! Sorry its not great

Glad it all went well. Dont panic about the chicken, only one element.
