Hard to believe a whole month has gone by! A lot has been going on and I have just not found the time to update my site! My class is going well The last few weeks we have made some yummy items.
A Po'boy sandwhich. It is fried shrimp and oysters with a type of blue cheese dressing. I am not a fan of shell fish so I did not taste it. My class mates enjoyed it though!
A meat and cheese panini with a fig sauce. This was really really yummy!
There were a lot of really yummy sandwiches this week!
Yes, and week 4 in a row I got to make Mayonnaise. I am getting pretty good at it by now! :-)
Two weeks in a row I got the chance to fillet a salmon. I LOVE salmon! So anyway I can cook it or prepare it I am up for! These past few weeks we have been learning about curing and smoking fish.
I got to taste this yummy fillet of salmon cured and cold smoked the next week. I loved it!
I made some turkey and stuffing for dinner that week as well... I really just wanted some homemade stuffing and I couldn't just eat it alone.... so I cooked a turkey, got some cranberry and made a really yummy meal.
Since we were curing salmon and that takes days, we made some puff pastries and had those to present. These are made with cheese.
Then with basically the same recipe we made these ones for desert with a yummy cream strawberry sauce. They were really really good!
The next week I got to make another salmon dish. This one was sooo sooo good! Coulibiac (koo' b ak)
Rice, salmon, onion and mushrooms, and a fish stock veloute' sauce layered in a puff pastry. Yum!
I did say I wanted to make more cakes. So my friends Becky and Shantelle are both February birthday buddies. Two weeks apart in age. So I figured we could celebrate on the week between their birthdays... Maybe I should have put the S before the B.... lol.
Then I made cheesecakes for my brother and his girlfriend whose birthdays are the 27th and 28th!
February is a busy month!
I also did a cake making birthday party for one of my friend's daughter. I don't have pics yet so that will have to be in my next post. :-)
Cake anyone?
