Subject: Anna Nurse Workshop With Craig Hobson
Who was the presenter?
– The presenter was Craig Hobson. Craig Hobson is an Australian executive chef at Le Cirque. At first Craig Hobson was preparing a corn flan for everyone step by step. After making the corn flan, Craig Hobson made a chicken breast that he placed in a Ziploc bag with lemon zest and mint stems. He placed the chicken breast in the Ziploc bag in a water bath.
Did you learn anything new?
– Something new that I learned from the workshop was that you can make a flan out of corn. I also learned the technique used to make the chicken breast, putting the chicken breast in a Ziploc bag in a water bath. I was never exposed to this technique until Craig Hobson came and showed us all at the workshop.
Did you like the presentation, why or why not?
– I enjoyed the presentation of Chef Craig Hobson because while he was making the corn flan and cooking the chicken breast, he showed us step by step and asked us if we had any questions for everything he was doing. I was entertained the whole time while he was cooking. However when we were given the corn flan to try, I didn’t like it. The reason why I didn’t like it was because I don’t like corn, but I gave it a try because I never tasted it before. And for the chicken breast, it was good. It had nice texture and flavor.
