Cheese and Chutney Mini Muffins

In this hospitality lesson, we made cheese and chutney mini muffins. I was really looking forward to making this. We made the batter by mixing the different ingredients together. Once it was done, we put them in the oven and waited for them to cook. I was really excited. Once they were done, I couldn't wait to eat my muffin. There were great!

Assignment: Kangaroo tacos

In this lesson, my partner and I were supposed to be cooking kangaroo tacos for our assignmen,t but she wasn't there on the day, so I asked another person to help me. I started to get all the spices, and mix them together to toast them a bit, which helps release the flavours. Once that was done, the spices were rubbed into the kangaroo meat and placed in the frying pan. Meanwhile, my temprary partner was cutting up the lettuce and onion. The taco shells were also placed in the oven to cook them just a bit. Once everything was made, lettuce waas sprinkled onto the plate for decoration, and the filling was added into the tacos to create 'THE MEXICAN ROO'. I hpe it is as yummy as it looks. :)

Chicken and Avocado quesadillas.

In this cooking lesson, we made chicken and avocado quesadillas. I was really excited to make these in hospitality. We cut up the chicken, avocado, spinach and divided up the sun - dried tomatoes. I then put in my filling and put the cheese inside. I put the cheese on the edges so it would close. When they were put in the sandwich toaster, the cheese from my quesadilla came out, and ended up going everywhere. The second time, i didn't put cheese on the end, and so the cheese didn't go everywhere. I really enjoyed eating my quesadilla.

Theory lesson on the assignment

In this lesson, we started to look up different Australian native food recipes, and started the written component of the assignment. My partner decided to start the written component, and I started to look up recipes. My partner soon stopped working on the assignment, and started looking up more recipes. We soon decided on the dish 'kangaroo tacos', and decided to add some sweet potato chips as well. I decided to then look at how much my partner had written, and I wasn't very happy with the amount she wrote. I hope she can do some written components, as it will help me with the time.

Chicken San Choy bao

In this practical lesson, we made chicken san choy bao. I enjoyed making this dish as I have eaten and made this dish at home many different times. As with all stir fry's, we had to cut and prepare the ingredients before they were placed into the wok. When the meal was finished, we placed it in the lettuce leaves. They smelt wonderful and were tasty. I am glad that I learnt how to cook a different type of san choy bao :)

Cornish Pasties

In this lesson, we made Cornish Pasties. We first had to peel the vegetables and prepare the food processor. When we turned on the food processor and started to grate the veggies, our food processor went funny, so we had to try and fix it. Luckily, it was easy to place the grater in its place, and we started to grate the veggies again. After they were grated, we added them to the meat, seasoned it and palced it in the puff pastry. We then wrapped it up in the traditional way, glazed it with milk and placed it in the oven. I can't wait to try something new that has come from Cornwall, England.

Theory

During this lesson, we finished listening to the speeches for part 1. They were all very interesting and I am happy to say that I have definitely learn something from all the speeches. After they were finished, I updated my blog so that I am finished and up to date with everything. :)
