Smoky room from salmon and cannabis.... (!?)

oh yeah, finally today some proper food: fish and meat.

The morning demo started with salmon and pork in a herb crust.

First chef put the salmon on the smoking hot grill. Right - as you all know, salmon on a grill just stinks ! and yes, it was still before 9.00. Lucky us, we could finish the salmon in the oven, so no more smell. yeah, right !


After that chef made a nice pice of pork with a herb crust and something with potatoes.













picture time !

Chef is no.8 of the (7) dwarfs - here he's showing his pork chops.... !
Yes, chef looks like a real chef....

The end-result should look like this:




and like this:

In the end we'll help chef and the translator Deborah with all the tastings for us.

Satomi is doing the jus.Later that day, after a brief visit to the cafe (only a petite biere), we had to make the salmon and the vegetables and jus ourselves. Not difficult at all and chef said that we all did a pretty good job ! So, first we used the smoking hot grill. Somebody you know burnt the tip of a finger again... (yes, it hurts) and in the photograph, Rosario is doing a pretty good job grilling the salmon.

Funny thing is, we get to grill 3 (!) pieces of salmon steak each. That's a bit over the top. Most people will only eat one...
Thank god that one of the cleaners likes salmon. In the end he went home with at least 15 salmon steaks ! "lucky" man....

Halfway during the practical Sean smelled a familiar odour. He checked with a few others, and yes, it was cannabis ! Probably coming from somebody smoking in the prep. kitchen. Chef looked shocked.

Well, in the end, we all made a pretty good dish.

Surprise of the day: ME !
See you all tomorrow !
