Heres just a sneak peek at what I will be entering in the Stephen Pyles Scholarship competition.

Honey competition

This dish was for a competition but didn't win unfortunately. Its a Ten spice Barbeque Shrimp Cocktail with a roasted corn and jicama salad.

Dishes from my Meat class

Here are a few of the many many dishes I made in my Meat class in school. Oysters Rockefeller, Braised Lamb shank, Sauteed Airline Chicken with tagliatelle vegetables, Grilled New York Strip Steak with a Béarnaise, Steamed Mussels, Curry chicken.

Home cooked dishes

Yeah I sometimes go over the top just for cooking at home and for myself but its better practice. These dishes are Indian Curry chicken, Crab cakes with a roasted bell pepper cream sauce and coleslaw, Seared Duck with a mascarpone polenta, and Poblano chicken with a poblano cream sauce.

Buddha Hand Lemon

One of my favorite places to buy good quality produce is Whole Foods. They carry a wide variety of vegetables and fruits and I happen to stumble upon this..... A buddha hand lemon. The only use for this is the Zest, but the flavor is awesome. Its sweeter and less bitter than normal lemons.

First dishes from culinary school

Here are some of the first creations I made in Cooking school. Shrimp bisque and Manhattan Clam Chowder

Introduction

Hey everyone, My name is Chef Greg Carter and I am currently attending the Texas Culinary Academy-Le Cordon Bleu in Austin, Texas. I am interesting in cooking New American Cuisines focused on fresh and Organic ingredients. Throughout this blog you will see what my works are. Some of them are boring but I would like to show them off anyway. Please enjoy the pictures and ask any questions about the dishes.
