Cooking field trip

During this field trip we were given the opportunity to cook the dish that we are going to cook in the final competition for practice. I think that our dish is harder to cook than other teams because we have many components to our dish which are harder than other groups. For example after we cook our chicken we have to roast the vegetables in the same pan and that's harder because it takes up a lot of time and you can't make any mistakes when cooking the chicken because if you burn the chicken there is a black residue left on the pan and it makes it a lot harder to cook the vegetables with ought the vegetables being burnt. That is one reason why I thought making this dish was hard to cook. Another reason why making this dish was difficult was because we were one group member short. Nari was absent to the field trip. Since Nari was absent on the day of the field trip we had to work with ought her and we had to borrow ingredients from other teams. The ingredients we needed to borrow was chicken and butter, unfortunately the group that had butter didn't have any extra so we made out polenta with ought butter. Today I lerned how to make polenta withought butter and that we need to start the polenta before anything because it takes the longest to cook.

While we were cooking our dish at Kapiolani community collage cooking facilities we worked really well together and we were able to finish our dish a bit earlier than other groups. As we were working we cooperated with each other through every step of the process and I believe that this is what made us such a good team.

Something's that we can improve upon are telling what step your on and cleaning up because we weren't the best at those things. I think that during this cook of we were functioning better because I told each group member what they were responsible for and how they should cook it, and a day before the competition I organized our teams assignments for the day. I assigned them according to what my teammates have done in previous competitions for example I knew that liam has made polenta before so I assigned him to make the polenta. I took all the tasks that Nari was supposed to do.
