We started with a whole fu&%$!ing duck ! at 8.30 in the morning... horrible.
We had to truss the bird, burn it off and then put it in the oven for 45 minutes. In the end it should still be pink(ish). As I said, horrible. I did a pretty good job I think - chef S. liked it. Joel from classB took it home to the family where he stays - they like (raw) duck.... yes, they are French !
After that stupid duck a demo; but first, chef Stril explained a few detais about the exam next week on Wednesday. That's the practical exam - should be OK.... I hope.
Taking notes during class; Yong Soon (r) and Cher Ling.
Demo was about langoustines, jumbo shrimps, salmon and Stroganoff. Nice demo - halfway, a big group of Chinese people stumbled in (NOT noisy at all...), took pictures of our class and demonstration - and left. Well, they probably pay LCB big money for this...
I liked the dishes of the demo;
Chef Lesourd - one of the 8 little brothers (remember the 7 dwarfs...) tasting the stroganoff dish.
Qui, ca va - c'est bien - tres bon etc etc. Can't do anything with that !
After class a petit bierre.... or 3. Nice. Now dinner - today's stroganoff with rice.
see you all tomorrow,
Sj
