For this project we had to create our own dish from scratch we had 5 mystery basket ingredients were chicken breast, broccoli, swiss cheese, tortilla chips and blueberries. With these ingredients, we made a dish inspired by the south; a tortilla crusted fried chicken breast over blueberry sauce complimented by a scoop of mashed cheesy broccoli. The hardest ingredient we had to incorporate was the blueberry, because we thought the sweetness didn’t go with the other flavors, but in the end they fit together really well. When it came to the tortilla chips, we instantly knew we had to crush them or mix them with something to be more creative, so we used them as a breading. We also knew cheese and broccoli go together, so we made that as our side. This ingredients made us think a lot! We are not an experienced chef so we didn't know how to combine all the ingrdients together.But now i know the rules for kitchen and I know how to cook chicken.
This is our Science Modernist Cuisine Poster, it talks about different parts of our dish and about the science behind our dish some of them are the; Why Swiss Cheese Melts, Physical Change in Tortilla Chips, The egg’s purpose in Breading, How Reduction Work, How Reduction Work, Does Broccoli Lose Nutrients When It’s Cooked, Sweet vs. Savory, Fermentation in the Swiss Cheese, What are macromolecule. It is very interesting, We all worked really hard on this project, I actually feel really proud of not just me but every single person in my group.
For this video everyone worked really hard, we all incorporated to cook while my partner Riley was recording everything. She was also the one who edited and made everything really nice and pretty. The video is about 3 minutes long, it explains you what we used, all the ingredients , basically it shows you how to cook our delicious Blueberry sauce on top of our tortilla fried chicken accompanied by cheesy broccoli.It was really hard to cook while the camera was in the middle of everything, we had to be careful pf not moving the camera because we wanted the video to be perfect.
I really loved this project, literally it is one of my favorite projects. Even though it was really stressful I get to learn all the basic stuff for cooking, I learned how to cook chicken, how to use my imagination while cooking. I was never judged by someone in my work and this helped me beat my fears of someone judging my work and explaining my work to the chefs. Working in group is really hard for me. I actually like working by myself but this project helped me to work well in groups, How to listen to everyone opinion and how to incorporate them with my ideas.
