Finished! I did it, plated on time and graduated!

Just a quick update; I graduated yesterday ! It was actually a nice 4 hr session, with only 5 of us the kitchen: Enzan, Hendrick, Liam, Miguel and me. The assistents helped us nicely with cleaning and taking care of extra ingredients.
The last hour went by so quickly, I can't even remember. I ran around the kitchen..... but I finished on time. The judges were happy with my plate I guess, because after a few minutes chef told me that ' it was OK' .
After finishing, Jayne came into the kitchen and gave me a nice beer! Thank you! What a way to finish the exam.

Finished! Time for a beer.

Here are some pictures of the final plates:more pictures later.

The three 'cuisine judges'.

Fighting for a beer...

I'll keep you posted on more news and pictures! A demain, Sj

Update Tuesday: Unfortunately, 2 people failed the exam, 1 in pastry and 1 in cuisine.
