Subject: Anna Nurse Workshop Memo
Who Presented?
Craig Hobson was the presenter of Anna Nurse Workshop held on October 10. Craig Hobson is an executive chef at a French restaurant, Le Cirque.
What they prepared?
In this workshop, Craig Hobson made two dishes; Corn Flan and Chicken Breast. Craig Hobson has showed us step by step on how to make the corn flan which was made by corn, juice, cream locust, and agar. The second dish made was the chicken breast. The chicken breast was placed in the Ziploc bag with lemon zest and mint stem that was put into a water bath; which was something new to me. Afterward, he sliced the chicken; serve with the shallot, mint, cilantro, and parsley leaves and mixing them into the pot making the shallot tender, and syrupy.
Do you like what they made?
After Craig Hobson showed us how to make each dish, we get to try them. The corn flan was alright. It didn’t really have any flavor, to be honest. However, the chicken breast was delicious. The skin of the chicken was really crispy yet inside was really soft and tender, and I really like it. Overall, Craig Hobson presentation was good because he explains everything really well and precise. He demonstrated and shows us clearly step by step. Also, he is willingly to answer all of our questions and concern.
