Star student sick at home......BLAH!!!

Hey students of the currently rolling class of Culinary Arts at Kla-how-eya. Vince is home sick with a serious chest and lung infection. He saw a doctor today and was given a docs note stating that he was to stay home May 4-8 do to illness. Sorry for the inconvenience yall. It would be greatly appreciated if you would let Chef know what has happened if he hasn't been informed yet. Vince would like his homework to be faxed to him if possible so as not to fall behind. What a great idea huh? Well I guess he'll see you on Monday. Have yourselves a great week and end. Take care and keep working hard it will pay off!
Sincerely,
Vinny Vega1

Greetings from our training course at Kla-How-Eya.my name is Elmer Starr.
I look forward to adding a new twist to the cooking industry. I have my fathers taste for great food, I have my mothers talent for making food taste great.

Why Im here in this course

Hi Im Blair and I Love Cooking
I been through tha whole Construction business an thats gone so its time for me to move on and this was my next profession I wanted to do cause Cooking is fun and learning new recipes and how to cook diiferent kinds of food is awsome.

About Me

Hello, my name is Steven Rubletz. I am 25 years old, and live in Surrey B.C. I have three beautiful children, and of course my beautiful wife. During my life so far I have done a lot of different jobs. Some great, some not so good. I have never done anything in the Hospitality/Food Industry, but know that it is my one true passion. I Love cooking because there is nothing that feels better than to hear good compliments from people after they are done consuming food that you have prepared. I think that cooking good food is something that you have to do from the heart, with passion and care. I also think that everyone, at least once in their life, should experience food that is cooked with passion and love. This is the reason I have chosen to follow my love for cooking, and decided to sign up for the Kla How Eya Culinary Arts program. With the experience that I gain from this course, I hope to further my education and continue on to an apprenticeship at Vancouver Career College. By going to VCC I hope to get my red seal ticket, and eventually own my own restaurant.
My overall goal, by doing all of this, is to be able to leave behind a legacy for my three children.
Thanks.

Dark Chocolate Chipotle Cookies - best ever!

Chocolate & Chiles - you gonna try it!

Yield: 3 dozen (1 1/2-inch) cookies

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes, softened
2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups sugar, plus 1/2 cup for topping
1/2 cup cocoa powder, sifted
2 teaspoons crushed, dried chipotle peppers
4 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon water
1 cup high-quality bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
1 1/2 cups high-quality bittersweet chocolate chips or chunks, plus 1/2 cup for topping

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, add butter and beat with the paddle attachment until smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl as necessary to evenly cream it. Add the sugars, sifted cocoa powder and chipotle peppers and mix again at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add eggs, vanilla and water. Beat at medium speed until combined, about 30 seconds. Add slightly cooled melted chocolate and mix again, scraping bowl to evenly mix everything. Add the flour mixture, scraping sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. When well incorporated, add the chips and mix briefly, about 5 seconds.

Refrigerate the dough in the bowl until cool and fudge-like, but not solid, for approximately 1 hour. You can use an ice cream scoop to create large, even sized cookies. These cookie-dough balls can also be frozen at this point, and baked right from the freezer whenever the need arises.

When ready to bake, press the tops of the cookie dough-balls into the sugar, and then top with 2 to 3 pieces of dark chocolate chips. Place onto parchment-lined baking sheets, allowing space for the cookies to spread. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven when they are still alittle underdone. Do not overbake! Slide the parchment paper with the cookies onto a cooling rack and allow to coolbefore removing from parchment.

Delicious!

Hello!

I'm a librarian at the Guildford library and I'm going to be one of the instructors for the computer skills part of the Kla-how-eya program - probably by September.

I absolutely love and adore food! But I'm not very good at cooking, although my skills are improving since I started dating a chef (a former VCC graduate). So, I totally support all of your efforts to sharpen your own skills. Very handy, always welcome, and you'll always be able to support yourselves.

Not sure what else to tell you about myself. Maybe meet you sometime in the future. I'll post more later when I think of something funny to tell ya.

Julie's healthy lemon chicken!

Ingredients:

4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
4 tablespoons Real lemon juice
1 tablespoon dill
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
cracked pepper

In a glass combine lemon juice and oil and stir together. Brush chicken breasts with lemon and oil mixture. Sprinkle tops of chicken with dill, garlic powder and cracked pepper. Salt to taste. On a baking pan, arrange chicken breasts so they are not touching. I normally use parchment paper to save my baking pan! Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes depending on how hot your oven is. Check after 30 minutes. If you are using frozen chicken breasts, bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes. Use medium to lower rack.
Serve with rice or potatoes. YUMMY!!

Kyle's first post

My name is Kyle and this is my first blog.I dont usually or I never blog because I find it nerdy but what is not nerdy is being a cook.Im 23 and I started working young odd jobs here and there.My first real job was Drywalling and I moved from Surrey where I grew up to Edmonton where I was born to live with my oldest brother and work.I was more enthused to live with my brother(Scott) than work.So when I moved to Edmonton and started working it sucked I hated drywalling or maybe it was working with my brother being the hard ass that he is.From there I quit that and worked at a carwash that didn't last long.After that I found a job that I loved and I found it myself which made it so much better.The job was at the Olive Garden which opened my eyes to a world I never even realized was there.When I was a child there was two things on my mind that I would be when I grew up and it was a basketball player (which all my teachers told me that I needed to be more realalistic) my other choice was to be a chef.
