Well into my third year of culinary at Newtown, I have come a
long way, (my hair has gotten even better since freshman year!) JK, but for
real; I have picked up lifetime skills that will go with me far into my life. I
can confidently cut into anything from a chicken to an apple, julienne to
quarters. I am very glad to have gotten exposed to proper knife skills.
Probably the best thing I have gotten out of culinary is the confidence to
prepare foods. Many people can be intimidated when it comes to preparing meals.
I attribute this to primarily the snack shack, being thrown in and having to
make the correct product because there were paying customers expecting their
food.
I’ve seen
that transferred to when I make something on my own time. I will be like “yeah,
why not? Let’s try it…” and see what happens. I am very glad I don’t have to
rely on a microwave for my food.
As for what
I would like to see next semester, I think it would be kind of cool to have
“cook-offs” like a mini version of our midterm. It would be an intense
competition on maybe a block day per month where we have some ingredients and
must create something by the end of class, for a grade. Sounds kinda fun to me,
idk. _bryce
