Food, food and more food

Sometimes, for me, the best thing about culinary school is just simply eating the food we prepared. I know that statement sounds wired but it's true. On days like these, it is less about how we prepared the food, and more about sitting together and enjoying the food. Appreciating it and talking about it with our mouths' full, complimenting each other on how great the food tastes. These days are know as Communal Breakfast Days and we, the students of Culinary Foundations III, prepare the food for the rest of the school. The Burger breakfast I talked about a few blogs back was such a day and last Tuesday we had another breakfast buffet to prepare.  The theme was 'Carnitas with all the trimmings'.

Zucchini filled Poblano peppers

Buffet style - everybody help themselves

More food

Apple filled Empanadas

Doesn't that all look yummy?
Obviously, each of us had our own favorite dish out of the huge selection of food we prepared.  For me it was the apple filled empanadas.

One thing I'd like to add: none of the pictures I am uploading for this blog are staged food shots. They are what one would call snaps shots of the food prepared and presented at school, in all it's glory with all it's faults. So, if something looks a bit odd, it is probably due to the fact that I am still a culinary student and not yet a chef .

Oh, by the way, Wednesday is scheduled to be another Communal Breakfast Day; this time we are preparing sausages. Can't wait to share those photos with you.
Until than, have a great week and happy eating.
