First Class of My Kitchen Operation

Ever since I enrolled into my university, very often that I see Culinary or diploma students walking to school and around campus with some cool uniform and bag. And now, I have a pair of my own for my kitchen operation module! The white chef jacket with a touch of red, the clown-pants, a safety shoes that hard like steel and a set of knifes.

What I expected for this module is that it will be fun because it will be a lot of hands on cutting and cooking. So today Chef toured us around the kitchen, the making food theater or whatever I don't know what to call it, the restaurant-like classroom and many many more.

The place where our practicals will be held, it is called culinary suite 4.

Chef said it can be used for garnishing purposes or, i found it from the web that says it can be used to flavor salads, dips, soups, stews, vinegars, cheese dishes sour cream and butter.
