| One of the fruits of my learning experience |
1. Where are you doing your mentorship?
I am doing my mentorship at my mentor’s residence.
2. Who is your contact? What makes this person an expert?
My mentor is Edward Forte, he is a part-time catering chef in which he runs his own business. He has been catering for about 5-6 years now and in between he has worked at a fine dining restaurant as well as in commercial food manufacturing. I consider him an expert given that I have seen his work first-hand. As he is practically family, I have been able to experience his work through his hosting of various fine dining dinners and parties. I have also worked as an assistant from time to time over the years. So my mentorship is not the first time that I’ve worked and assisted him.
3. How many hours have you done during the school year? (Summer Mentorship Hours and Mentorship Hours should be reflected separately in your Senior Project Hours log located on the right hand side of your blog).
As of January 5th, I have completed a total of 15 hours during the school year.
4. Succinctly summarize what you did, how well you and your mentor worked together, and how you plan to complete the remaining hours.
My first three entries for mentorship hours consisted of dabbling into different kinds of cuisine. One occasion, the essentials of making Filipino-style barbecue and in another occasion I experienced making 4 or 5 different pies and cheesecakes. On my most recent mentorship visit, I worked with my mentor as he hosted a dinner party. My mentor and I work very well together, I am usually able to pick up different processes quickly and I have been able to apply what he has taught independently. Usually my mentor will communicate with me if he is doing anything with catering and that is when I usually visit, many of my hours will be carried out in this manner. Another source of hours is when he hosts dinners or parties, in fact, my mentor has a party lined up that I will be assisting in.
