Throughout my time in the Restaurant Careers class, my favorite recipe that I learned was how to make pizza from scratch. I choose to make pizza whenever we have a chance to make a recipe of our choice, and I also made pizza for my semester final. The Vikings Pizza is extremely good and I have gotten multiple compliments from teachers at my school.

Accomplishments in Restaurant Careers
Ashley Garcia-Tinoco, North Salinas High School, Restaurant Careers
My favorite class is my Restaurant class because it builds me up and gives me valuable insights and knowledge into the business world and working world. It shows me how to prepare for that environment and how to succeed in it as well. I believe all the skills I learn will benefit me and show value to me as I continue to grow.

Flag Sauce also called "Pico de Gallo" is refreshing and healthy. It's used in Mexican cuisine on a variety of dishes. When preparing Flag Sauce you bring spice, acidity and balance, low in calories, fat and sodium, a great addition to your favorite dishes. In class I prepare Flag Sauce to top nachos, tacos and tostadas.

This has been my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. It's fast and easy to make. When you eat them your mouth melts with the soft chocolate and the sugar content it's just enough. Restaurant Careers class is fun, educational and has improved my overall culinary abilities.

How to set a proper table is very important to the meal you are serving as it sets the tone for the meal. Upon first glance, you can tell by the table setting if a meal is casual or formal. A well laid table shows people that they are important enough to you to set your table properly. Table setting is also practical, you have all you need handy. .

To properly serve a customer in a restaurant you must greet them warmly and guide them to their table. Placing each dish in front of the guest is important so make sure that it is positioned correctly. You should always serve the food on the left & remove the food from the right and most importantly don´t forget to remove all crumbs from the table.

A French omelette, is a tidy package of finesse and delicacy. It's exterior is smooth as silk, its inside moist and creamy, the heat had to be high the whole time, with temperature controlled by moving the pan on and off of it. The pan had to be just hot enough that you couldn't press the back of your fingers on it for more than half a second.
