India:

Day 2

Today was a lighter cooking day. I worked a lot in my father's garden transplanting the plants I had been growing at school. My family loves Indian spices and just overall all Indian food. So I knew that one of my meals would be trying to make an ideal dish. I choose, chicken tikka masala with white rice, and homemade naan. I started my cooking prep by making the naan dough, it needs at least an hour to raise before rolling it into circles. I then started with deboning chicken thighs and mixing the spices for the marinade. I chopped onion, garlic, and ginger to sauté. Adding the chicken to a hot skillet to slightly cook to get the sides brown. once all ingredients were added, I let the chicken tikka masala cook down till the chicken is tender and cooked. When it is time to eat you place the naan in a hot cast iron pan till bobbles apron and looks burnt then flip and repeat. 

Total hours:

10:00-10:30am

2:00-5:00pm 

6:00-8:00pm

8 hour 30min

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

 Friday Vietnam + Canada + UK  Day 5 I packed a lot into this day because I was doing a lunch, and dinner plus dessert. For lunch, I replicated something Emma Do made our group while in Spain. She made us Banh Mi sandwiches that were so good I knew I wanted to make them for me. This sandwich had pickeld vegtables, thin slises of pork, cilontro, sriracha, mayonnaise, and pate. With the sandwich I also made my ciabatta to go with with. Making the bread took 24 hours because it needed a started. For dinner, my grandmother taught me her Canadian crap cakes. they were so good. We got the crap meat from the local fisherman in Rock Port. I pared the crab cakes with a very fresh chopped salad. Finally, for dessert we made strawberry Pavlova which is made with egg whites and sugar then it is cooked for an hour and topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit. This dessert has been adopted all over the world. The name Pavlova comes from a Russian ballerina. But it is a known dessert all ov...
