   Over the summer I worked at Camp Squeah which is in Hope, BC. I was the Pastry Chef for the summer, it was very fun and I got to make many things that I have always wanted to make and I also got to experiment with quite a few recipes. The head chef there is a Red Seal Chef and has worked at many well know restaurants. In the fall/winter he usually has a couple catering jobs for his friends or people that have heard of him. He is a very talented chef. For this catering job he asked me to be his pastry chef and make a dessert for 25 people. So I came up with about 15 different desserts and sent them to him. He gave me a budget and his 3 top options. The dessert that I am doing for them is a lemon curd tart, with strawberries and strawberry puree. This is what it will look like on the menu:

“Lemon and Strawberry”

Lemon Tart, Strawberry Meringue,

Walnut Streusel, Mint

   There is also lemon whipped cream, the strawberry puree, strawberries, and a sweet lemon salad. So the dessert has 8 components altogether. I have never made a dessert with 8 components before. I am very excited for this opportunity to learn and to make desserts that I have never made before. I have made my grocery list already and have everything set to go. I will hopefully get pictures of my assembled creations on the day of. I will post how things are going as the date of the catering gig gets closer. It is only 11 days away now, on the 29th of October! I also got a chefs jacket as well. Which is kinda exciting as I have always wanted one and never had a good enough excuse to get one. So I am excited about that too! 

   There are just so many exciting things that are happening and I am very excited about the many exciting things that are also going to happen. You never know which way your career is going to go in the food industry! :)
