12 January- Cooking #2

Thursday was our second cooking experience. However, due to kitchen space our class was divided into two cooking groups, team A and B. Today it was team A's turn to cook, and team B just took part in the tasting part. I am in team B so I was able to enjoy team A's hardwork. They did an amazing job! The theme of the meal was "Cooking with Chocolate." The recipes included:

1. Pear Vingeratte Salad with chocolate nibs
2. Baked Beans
3. Egg Plant
4. Flank Steak
5. Mole Chicken
6. Chocolate Coca-Cola Cake

I really enjoyed the flank steak, mole chicken, and coca-cola cake. The flank steak was tender and the chocolate rub was very rich and savory. Perfect! The mole chicken was also amazing. The complex sauce had a mixture of many different flavors that combined to make a great dish. Finally, the coca-cola cake was the most moist cake I have ever eaten. I will definitely be using that recipe in the future. Overall it was a wonderful meal. It definitely exceded my expectations of a meal "cooked with chocolate." Unfortunately, I was so excited to try all the different foods that I forgot to snap a picture.
