I have finished my Basic Culinary Course last May 22, 2009. It was only a 4-day program but I definitely learned a lot from it. This had been my very first attempt in cooking school and I can say that I had a great time.
Our lessons comprised of lectures, demos and hands-on. Our lectures covered kitchen organization, hygiene and sanitation, food contamination, kitchen tools, equipment and measurements, methods of cooking, menu planning, different delicious recipes and a lot more.
Aside from getting knowledge about culinary, it was a good opportunity to meet different types of people. My classmates were friendly and approachable so I did not have a hard time mingling with them. There was even a beautiful Talk Show Host whom all of the men in the class admired. (The guys deny it but I really think so because their heads turn every time this girl arrives in class!)
Our teacher, a Chef, had been very patient. I think almost everyone in the class got our share of reprimanding. We all took those scolding as constructive criticism because we admit to ourselves that we do not know everything and it is only through being open to these comments can we improve in our cooking.
With the things that I learned and the people that I met, this whole experience of enrolling in the Basic Culinary Course had really been fun! I am really looking forward to the time when I go back to cooking class.
