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

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 som...

France   Day 6  Saturday, May 13  I think this meal was one of my top 5 meals I have made so far. It was simple but also so fun to make. For dinner I made roasted asparagus, homemade French fries, and a garlic aioli. The main dish was a beautiful wagyu steak cooked, medium rare. I make creme brûlée often so I have prefixed my recipe over the last few years. I love making creme brûlée because it is simple but also hard to get right. Most people often over cook the eggs or curdle the milk and trust me I have done it so many times. I eat very late when I am cooking with my grandmother because she likes to eat around 8 and to be fair I really like to do that too. Also, yesterday I went flowers shopping and got to pick out some beautiful flower for my grandmother garden.  Hours 8:00-8:30am  10:00-11:00am  6:30-9:30pm  Total hours  5 1/2 hours  Garlic Aoili wagyu  Creme brûlée
