Barret Shepherd post #3

Today, Kyle showed me how to cook for an event. Cooking for a mass number of people is difficult yet still enjoyable. Preparation for an event involves going over inventory. You always have to check to see what you do and don’t have days before an event. You should not use things that are too old even if they haven’t expired yet because a cook in a reception business should always keep his or her food fresh.  After taking inventory, Kyle and I made a list of the things we still needed. We then headed to the grocery store where Kyle buys his cooking supplies. Buying more than enough of what you need is always the best option that way you won’t run out and there will always be extra that you can use later. What I thought was cool is that Kyle does not let any of his food go to waste. He takes all the greens that are trash and brings them home to feed his pets and gives leftover cooked food to the employees to bring home. I think that this is a very good idea to not waste food. and I feel like if I ran my own reception hall giving  leftover food to the homeless would sound like a good idea.
