Episode 2: In the Process of Learning

Now that I am at my senior year of college (graduating with 140 credits because of the switch of majors) I have to take an internship course. It is a way of the school helping you prep for whats to come next. But due to some privacy policy contracts that I had to sign, I will not be mentioning the name on the internet. However, I can post pictures of the stuff that I am learning. Every day is a different day. Complete new experience. If it is not the wake up early part, I would definitely look forward to it more each day. Here are a few things that I do.
This is a lemon garnish that I learned from my sous chef. He worked in a few sushi restaurants and have a lot of experience when it comes to sushi making and garnishing. 
One of the VIP fruit plates that I do for the guests. Just simple fruit placements and the usage of the nice plates.
Cucumber flower and a tomato flower. The cucumber flower can be used as a garnish or you can use it as a platter for other garnishes.
Apple turned into a bird. Awesome technique that the garde manger cook show me. Very cool.
This is a sliced fruit platter that is enough for about 18 people. There were good variety of color contrasts and all the fruits were placed nicely. 

I am still learning! There are many more things to come. Stay tune, until next time.
