Bela - Bela Munisipality 28th - 30th September 2011

The week was hectic. We had been preparing for the function we had known would be overwhelming. The dishes we would prepare would be easy enough like beetroot salad, potato salad, egg mayo, garden salads, etc.but how much of it we needed to make to satisfy the clients...they brought there own Tupperware to dish food but we stopped them from doing so for the sake of portion control. I was working mainly in the cold kitchen to make sure i have my knife skills down to great efficiency and I've been doing quite well. its just that without help every now and then it tends to get hectic when you get bombarded by toasted sandwiches. my prep would eventually dire down since it is used by other sections in the kitchen, because they don't feel like cutting there own prep.Over all I could keep up most of the time but eventually I asked a couple of the students to help out while i do toasted's the whole time... I got to make my own salad dressing that was basic but good for a guest order. I'm trying to now work at one place more often to try and remember the skills in each section much better...
