Day 7 

May 17th, 2023 


I have been traveling to see my mom for her birthday so today was not a big cooking day but I got to make soft shell craps and made a big salad. Soft shell carbs only come around once a year always around the middle of May. They are delicate and rich in flavor. My mom cooks them in lemon and butter topped with cappers. I plated them in a bed of smashed potato's coated in olive oil and salt. My family loves to make a simple salad With not many ingredients. 


Total hours:

3:00-6:00pm

7:00-8:30pm

4 1/2 hours

Weekly Refection #1

 End of Week #1  During the week I have realized how much I really do love cooking.  I have been cooking a lot and I have now finally realized how weird I am. But this week has been so amazing. I have gotten to spend time with my father who taught me who to bake and make some of the best desserts ever.  I also have been spending a lot of time with my mentor who is also my grandmother, and the person I look up to when it comes to cooking. They both have taught me things and given me very good tips and tricks.  I have been having a hard time accomplishing the plating of food because of the food I have been cooking has not always been easy to but on a plate. I have been working on the skills I have needed to learn, like knife skills, and sharing to kitchen. I have never washed so many dishes in my life. After my first day my hands were so dry. I have had a hard times posting my blogs on time because my family does not eat dinner till 8 every night or even later some night. I am eating ver

Russia

Wednesday Russian:  Day 3  I stared cooking to day by making flaky pastry dough for my Russian kubiaka. After that, I made the birds milk cake which is a very sweet Russian dessert. It need many hours to set so I had it early this morning. I prepared all my ingredients for the dinner. And went on a run while I waited for the afternoon to arrive. I had a hard time trying to find an alternative for cool-whip, because I think in translations it americanized the recipe. With tonights dinner I made a Scandinavian cabbage.  I started to assemble the kubiaka I had to have help because there are many layers. I really love this day because I am Russia, and I love learning how to cook Russian food.  Work hours: 10:00-2:00 pm 4:00-8:00 pm Total hours: 7 hours  Bird Milk Cake  Puff Pastry Dough Assembling  kubiaka Scandinavian cabbage

Weekly Refection #2

Sunday  May 21, 2023 Total Hours 80 hours  I am finally done, I took a few days off this week to relax because last week I worked strait for the whole week. I was very happy to be able to take a short break before picking back up on the cooking. I did not think I was going to finish my whole project but I did. And it was so worth all the long hours and burns on my hands. I got many battle scares. I have really loved being on senior project.  I did not have much going this week because last week I got almost all my hours in the first week. So I was able to take a little break and relax which was very needed because of last week. I had a hard time following along with my set plan. But I was able to cook food that I have always wanted to make.  I really worked on my goals of getting better at knife skills, chopping fruit, vegetables small, and even. I even worked on plating food and just being able to get creative with snacks and lunches I ate. For lunch one day, I made a tuna avocado pan
