Wow...it's all over now, playing Head Chef at the College Restaurant...and how I thoroughly enjoyed this experience...seeing it from another angle...It all ran very smoothly...lots of compliments...the menu worked well...There were even people who came in last week and enjoyed the experience so much they were booked in for our night. Plenty of attentive Front-of-House staff learning aspects of waitering...setting tables...appropriate cutlery and glasses...and of course the Apprentice Chefs. I am in a class with the Apprentices...along with other members from our last year's Commercial Cookery class...and we are not likely to go ahead and be Chefs due to the hours involved...5000...even though we are doing the same course...

Lovely Dzintra!
Oh the food looks so fantastic! Where do you go to school? Do you go to cooking school?? And could you pleaseee come cook for our school dining hall and provide us with delicious looking food! haha
This is amazing, Dzintra! You certainly are not afraid of a challenge. Do you feel a sense of relief that it is over now? I'm taking a writing course this winter, have 3 more classes, and really can't wait for it to be through. And then I will go on vacation! Hooray! Thinking of you. Sorry I wasn't able to visit sooner but have been down with the flu. All's well now.
Much love,
Catherine
Congratulations on a successful dinner. I am a big softie for anything apple so that crumble looked very delicious. The presentation of the dishes is excellent.
