I was able to take a peek at the new Enderun Campus at Mc Kinley Hill.  It is beautiful!

Thanks to my Assumption classmate, Tricia Castañeda Tensuan, for inviting me to join one of the culinary courses.  What an experience for me ..though I was not really prepared to do any cooking!  🙂  I am sure many cooks and foodie lovers out there will enjoy the courses here.

 

As soon as I arrived, they gave me a key to the lockers so I could put down all my things and prepare for the class

I was given an envelope with the recipes and an Enderun apron

I was late and class had started.  Wow!  This is my first time to attend a professional culinary course in a Culinary School!  I was so excited! I remember when my Mom would send me and my sister to cooking lessons with Nora Daza when we were kids.  We enjoyed it!

 The course starts with the instructor/demonstrator doing the actual recipe in front of the class

Oops!! It is Chef Thomas Wenger taking a peek at our class.  He was actually holding a class as well in the next door kitchendsc_4744.JPG

Then everyone gets to taste the finished dishes

Afterwhich, each one goes to their cooking station!  

Wow!  Each one has their own cooking station with their own complete ingredients.  This was my area…

Under each station is a chiller to store all the ingredients

The finished dishes.  Each one gets to cook a complete recipe and then gets to taste it….. and since we cannot finish everything, we get to bring the rest home!!

    wow! i went to culinary school in the northeastern part of the u.s. and i couldn’t help but be impressed. the layout of the workstations is the same as the ones in the u.s. from the looks of it, they seem to be focused on french techniques (i see the chinoise) which is good. even the hallway with the huge pics has a resemblance with two culinary schools in new york except the pics in ny are in black and white.
