December 4th, 2013 -
Instead of working on the line, Chef Rocky switched me to prepping food for the day and for the following day. As the prep cook, my duties are to read the menu plan for the week and know exactly what to prep. There's always a description, but sometimes there's a recipe included too. For instance, today I made peanut-cilantro sauce for the entrée for tomorrow. I followed a recipe and once it was done, I tasted it and it was delicious! Yesterday, I made one of the desserts for Jackson Café and it came out beautiful! I like the fact that I am now a prep cook because I can practice and refine my knife skills. I believe that prep is the most important step in cooking because if you mess it up, you mess up your dish and if you don't prep, who will? Before I joined Fresh Starts, I used to follow recipes, but for baking instead of cooking. What I'm currently doing is helping me because I need more assistance in following all kinds of recipes. I want to become a master in reading and executing recipes!
