As a general rule, the International Cuisine class doesn't go to see the Distinguished Visiting Chef lectures. This is because we are responsible for creating the food for the dining room class to serve at lunch.
Today we broke the "general rule."
Since the class has been involved with preparing a variety of things that have gone along with Chef Yan and his visit to JWU Chef Pearson took us to see the presentation. What was scheduled to run 60- 75 minutes went for nearly 2.5 HOURS! Chef Yan has such an amazing way of presenting his talent that you don't even realize that you have been sitting on the edge of your seat for hours. He can do things with a knife that I only dream of...
*carrot slices so think that you can place on a piece of paper and read through
*yellow pepper that is slivered to about the thickness of dental floss
*garlic turned to paste in the blink of an eye
*one tomato sliced so thin that you could cover an entire dinner plate with the slices
and the most amazing part...
*breaking down a chicken in 15 seconds.
The last one is amazing to me, when I had my meatcutting practical it took me 30 minutes to break one chicken down. Here is a video, not from today, but this is pretty close to what he did today!
