During this past Saturday’s practice, C-CAP’s lead judge Chef Glen Humphrey, CEC, CCC, took a few minutes to talk about a few critical points for this year’s scholarship candidates.
In practicing for the culinary competition, Chef Glenn reminds students, “Timing is everything. You want to think about what you’re doing and how you’re dong it.”
He notes that knife skills are critical in improving prep time, as well as in the look of the finished dish.
A well-thought out plan for plate presentation is also critical. “You need a clear idea of what you want in your presentation,” he says. “It helps to have given it some careful thought – and to have practiced the idea.”
Moreover, “If you’ve practiced enough to feel confident about every step, it will show in your attitude as you cook. You need to be focused sufficiently to not be distracted by people and chatter around you.
“And we look for a confident – not arrogant – attitude.”
