CUL 107 Garne MangerMelynna Sena

I thought this class was a good learning experience for me. I enjoyed learning to make different foods in this class. This class was easy to take. Some of the food I made was unique and I learned to use other kitchen

equmemt. I think I am going to take what I have learned in this class to the work industry. The dishes I made in this

class weren’t very difficult to make. Some dishes in this class took time and practice to make.

I thought the gnocchi di ricotta was very good. I liked that the parmesan cheese gave the gnocchi a better flavor. The basil added some color to the plate and the gnocchi.

Shrimp and Avocado Quesadilla

I didn't like the shrimp and avocado quesadillas. The quesadilla was bland because of the guacamole. I don’t like avocado. I would garnish this plate with a piece of grilled chicken breast. Thought this dish was easy to make it didn’t take that long to make. My family didn’t like this dish.

Grilled Chicken Breastwith corn Salad.

I really enjoyed the grilled chicken breast I put a drizzle of orange sauce on the grilled chicken breast. I thought the orange sauce gave the grilled chicken a sweet taste. I liked the corn salad I thought that was very good.

I didn’t like the taste of the prosciutto and Melon Canapé. I thought the canapé gave the prosciutto and bread and

cream cheese a sweet taste. This would be a good snack or appetizer I would plate this dish on a color plate to add

some more color to the prosciutto and melon canapé.

I liked the pumpkin empanadas they were very good and sweet. The pumpkin empanadas would make a delicious dessert. I thought the wiping cream and the parsley was a good

garnish.

I thought the Gazpacho had a good flavor. The gazpacho reminded me of sevechi. I would have used shrimp as a garnish and add some color to the dish.

I thought the cumber tea sandwiches were not good they had a bland flavor. I don’t like cucumber. I thought the tomatoes cucumber rose was a beautiful garnish to the cucumber tea sandwiches and the garnish added some color to my presentation. This dish would be a good meal to eat for a snack.

Wontons

I liked the wontons. I thought they were easy to make and a learning experience. I thought the teriyaki sauce was sweet and was good dipping sauce to dip the wontons in. my family enjoyed the wontons also.

This course provided me with a very good learning experience of cooking skills and more I put more of my knife skills to practice in this class. I enjoyed working with my partner and

helping one another with the dishes we made. Culinary Arts is where I belong and this course has proven that to me with a lot of practice I hope to get better at my plating presention.
