Reflection 1/10

This morning, we started out by finalizing the grocery list of the ingredients needed for our final project recipes. Before heading out to the grocery store though, we watched the Netflix documentary COOKED. It followed Michael Pollen as he explored the meaning of fire in our everyday lives. It discussed the natural diet, barbecue, and hunting meat. It wanted us to think about and question our relationship to meat. Next, we visited the grocery store. We split up to get our individual ingredients. Afterwards, we worked on our individual projects for the rest of the day. Overall, they were a success with just a few things to tweak before we present them on Friday. Anabelle and Luca started on their cannoli with homemade ricotta cheese. Alex finished her lemon macarons and plans to share them tomorrow. Alex and Parisa began to make pasta with vodka sauce. Sarah's lava cakes were successful and tasted delicious. Lee lee made peppermint ice cream with dry ice. Lindsay and Jack made some delicious lemon soufflés inside actual lemons. Peter experimented with molecular gastronomy by making apple juice caviar. Dylan created mini meringue pies. Stefan finished his creamy mac n cheese. Gianna and Erica completed some mint chocolate cheesecake brownies.
