Bistro Menu Cook
Fantastic dishes served by our Diploma students for the Bistro Menu Project where they plan, design and cost out a menu that would suitable for a contemporary Auckland bistro/restaurant.
In the practical part of this assessment, they must then prepare and serve two entrees, two mains and one dessert to two of the guests, seated in our dining room.
Here are some of the dishes from the dinner -
• Steak tartare
• French Onion soup
• Garlic prawn salad
• Caramalised apple crumble with vanilla ice-cream
• Chocolate Lava cake with berry sorbet
• Blueberry Mousse cake
