On Tuesday, we made Thai Green Curry.

I was partnered with a far more experienced cook than me and managed to learn a few important skills from him.

Firstly, he taught me how to properly use a knife, which involved me “tucking” fingers into my hands, where I would let my knuckles guide the knife over the item that was being chopped. He also taught me ways to chop an onion, which I should avoid chopping off the root to prevent the release of these substances that would cause people’s eyes to tear up.

These are skills I hope to bring to university with me!

Yesterday, I learnt how to make quiches that did not involve the use of crust.

Using a combination of ingredients, I attempted to make a protein-packed quiche to help energise and repair any damaged tissue within my body and is great to start mornings with (something I’ll take with me in university!).

Next week we will be learning to make Thai Green Curry.
