Cooking

I have talked about knife skills a lot  but no I would like to show you a few recipes I have practiced, there are several but I will start with saying that I love a good polenta with parmesan. Actually.. I love everything with a good parmesan cheese. I also love a good Pilaf rice with a mushroom garnish too. Below is just a basic pilaf that I remade at home to practice. Risotto is also one of my favorite.But first is a picture of my chicken. I have never eaten so much chicken in my life so far. 2 wings, 2 thighs, 2 legs, 2 tenderloins, 2 breasts with drummet and frenched bone.

 below is a picture of Coq au Vin.... but more like chicken au vin that day. It was my first time making it and I enjoyed it. Braising method was used. In the picture the asparagus are roasted witha splash of oil, salt pepper and parmesan cheese.

 Our Chef also  made some mash potatoes. This is a pretty big tool for mashing potatoes but it gets the job done really nicely. Warm milk and melted butter  added to the potatoes   with salt and pepper was delicious.

 This is Quinoa aka bird seeds( not really but sure looks like it) I cooked it on a chicken stock   then added a garnish of garlic,onions,red bell peppers and carrots.  The humans ate it... so I guess its a good  thing. It was really tasty, one of the best my Chef had he said.

 Barley. It tasted really good, I'm not the one that cooked it but I watched  and learned.Right below is my Pilaf rice(the last picture).
