I worked in the Main kitchen the whole week...
Started everyday with mise-en-place..
Most of the time me and Chef William were working together.
He gives me tasks to do to improve myself.
He and Chef Steve from the Guest house showed me how to cut a chicken into pieces. I then had to cut one myself.

I have learned so much! I worked a lot in the Coffee Station and did all the issuing in morning, you have to do it in the morning so that the stuff needed during the day is avalible so that you don't need to run up and down to get everything done!

Everyone helped were they could. Inbetween the functions I had to waiter but it was so much fun. I love working with people and serving them. SMILE !!!!!
