Testimonials from Miriam Naguib
//**Three things I learnt.**//


 * I learned some cooking basics, such as chopping (the correct way, without cutting my finger), and respecting the recipes,especially in pastries, (putting the exact amounts & ingredients, which I never did before this course).
 * I learned how to make my favorite deser, creme brule, and my favorite dish, pasta-pasta dough (I love the fact that we learned how to our own fresh pasta), and be more familiar with different cuisines.
 * I learned that cooking is more than just making meals, it is for example Giancarlo talked about it as though it were...art, and how important it is

//**Three things I liked about it.**//
 * I liked eating this really good food!!
 * I liked having an experience in a hotel kitchen and being familiar with how its restaurant sare run.
 * I liked wearing the professional chef outfits with our names on them.

//**Which station was your favourite and why?**//

I really liked the Pastries, because I love making deserts and baking. We were really involved, and made it in small groups. Eating them afterwards was probably the highlight of the section.

//**The best part was ...**// Being able to present such an amazing buffet at the end, and having our parents come. Also Mr. Trumpold's imitation of the executive chef, Giancarlo, was perfect!

//**Three things I learnt.**//

I learned how to chop things very finely. To be very organized and clean when cooking. It's not healthy to eat everything in your path when you're in the kitchen. It upsets your stomach.

//**Three things I liked about it.**// I loved the food. I loved eating the food. I loved cooking the food, to eat the food.

//**Which station was your favourite and why?**//

I liked all of them! They were each unique

//**The best part was ...**//

 * Testimonial from Amber Hassanein**

Three things I learned: 1) How to cut properly (without grazing my fingers every time) 2) That the appearance and the garnish of the food was just as important as the taste 3) That cooking is an art form and that it should be treated like one- a well cooked meal is to a chef what a painting is to an artist

__Three things I liked about it__: 1) Eating all the time (no brainer) 2) Wearing the professional chef clothes, it really helped me in vision myself as a professional 3) Getting to know people that I typically wouldn't have hung out with at school

__Which station was your favorite and why?__ Thai food because I felt as though I was more involved and the chef let the students take control, rather than telling us what to do and showing us.

__The best part was...__ Making the thai food... then eating it, I was able to relate to when I was on vacation in Thailand and got to eat amazing food there, now I know that I can make the food by myself and not spend hundreds of pounds on going to the four seasons restaurant!

**Testimonials from the Won Gu Kang.**


 * //Three things I learnt.//**

1) I learned the different recipies of different cuisines. 2) I learned how to use a knife more carefully (by folding the fingers inwards so I do not get cut) 3) I learned how the kitchens are run in the Four Seasons Hotel through the information the executive chef, Giancarlo, gave us.

1) I liked the food we tasted. We ate the food we cooked as well as others such as other pastries and sushi and sashimi 2) I liked cooking the food by our hands instead of the chefs doing all the work while we were watching. 3) I liked the uniforms we received. They made me feel as if I was a chef, not just an stranger in the kitchen.

 * //Which station was your favourite and why?//**

I liked the thai station the most because I enjoyed the food the most and I did the most work there.


 * //The best part was ...//**

The last day when we invited out parents. We not only got to eat the food we had prepared but also got to eat dome of the food that the chefs cooked, and Mr. Trumpold hitting Chang Hee and Se Hyung.

Testimonial from Chang Hee Han
//**Three things I learnt.**// I learned the basic rules of the kitchen. For instance, the fingers on the left hand has to be curved inward to prevent damages from the knife. Also, the chef must have proper clothing to prevent foreign objects from spoiling the food. Furthermore, the chef has to have a good sense of hygiene for their customers (or your family!). I learned the color coding of cutting boards; green stands for vegetables, blue for seafood, red for meat, yellow for chicken, and white special for the chef. I have learned different recipes of exquisite cuisine to which I was not exposed to. I have learned many new recipes from Thai, Italian, Lebanese cuisine. Also, I learned how to make desserts from the Pastry section.

//**Three things I liked about it.**// I liked having good food from the hotel. In the morning, we could eat delicious bread from the Pastry section every morning, so it made me full every morning. Actually, I think we should rename the trip next year to "Eating in Cairo" since we ate more than we cooked. I feel that I have got a good kick start on cooking. Now, I have started cooking at home when I have time. This WWW trip was a great ice-breaker. I liked the fact that we could get our basic cooking lessons in the Four Seasons Hotel, since it is not an opportunity that comes to everybody. I had a great time being with the professional chefs, each from different backgrounds.

//**Which station was your favourite and why?**// My favourite station was the Italian section, because I thought it was the most practical and useful in daily life. It is easy to cook pasta sauce with fresh tomatoes, and preparing the pasta noodles takes only a few minutes. I thought it was the most applicable to daily life since pasta is easy to prepare if the noodles are bought in supermarkets. Therefore, the Italian section was my favourite.

//**The best part was ...**// The best part of the trip was to come home and cook something I have learnt from the trip for my mother. I failed to cook the Pastry and Thai food, since I lacked ingredients, but it was great to see my mother being happy while eating the food I have cooked. I haven't cooked too many times since WWW, but I will try to cook more.

Testimonial from

//**Three things I learnt.**//

I learnt how to make pasta dough and gnocchi dough Add vanilla to the mix whenever there is dairy products To make a tomato sauce less sour, you should add sugar

//**Three things I liked about it.**// That there were four different cuisines

====//**Which station was your favourite and why?**// I can't choose between Italian and Thai; the Italian was good because they showed us how to make the dough which I've been wanting to do, but the Thai was something different I don't think I would ever learn. And the food was good :)====

=Testimonials from Se Hyung Kim=

Three things i learnt - I learned we put vanila into any food we make if there is milk included in the recipe. - I learned how to hold the knife, i knew some basic ways how to hold the knife, yet going throught this trip i got a better idea. - I learned how to decorate foods, when ever we are done cooking some food (for example fried rice) looks kind of boring, and the decoration visulally makes the food more delicous.

Three things i liked about it
- I enjoyed eating different foods from different cultures, but also from different kitchen departments (such as Thai and Italy). - I liked experiencing different foods from different Chefs, everyone had their own special method to make the food delicious. - I liked the atmosphere, before i thought it would be awkward to be with a professional chef, yet it was relaxing.

Which station was your favourite and why?
- Thai was my favourite station, I really enjoy dessert yet it was a school program so i wanted to be moitvated. All stations had something to do, yet Thai really made me work hard. Just before the last day i still remember cutting the carrots alone for 40 minutes.

The best part was...
- The best part was when i enjoyed all the foods at the last day when I could taste the true taste for each food. At the last day we were working for the whole morning and at last i ate the food we made with and empty stomach. ___ =Testimonials from Ahmad Mostafa=
