My experience cooking for 120 persons voluntarily; Last part - Successful delivery
Hi guys welcome to my blog today and I'm going to tell you how I did a marathon cooking for 120 persons.
It was not that very easy, It was challenging due to the stress it has but then I like cooking so I took it upon myself to challenge myself to do the cooking read on to see how I carry out this tasks successfully.
Since it was a voluntary work I also have some voluntary assistance in the kitchen that help me carry out my work successfully.
This great workers of mine were really what I needed at that moment to execute the cooking.
On this day we cook
- Afang soup
- Moi moi
- Stew
- Rice
To begin, I already arranged all ingredients and keep in place as mentioned in my previous posts, I seasoned and steamed all meat and early that morning, I blended all ingredients that needed to be blended.
So when the workers arrived, they started with cutting afang leaf which previously washed and dry by me.
I provided knives, tray and chopping sticks for the cutting of afang.

While cutting the afang
I also washed beans in preparation for moi moi while others were preparing water leaf for the soup, others were pounding the afang too, so this division of labour makes work easier and fast.
After washing the beans and separating the chaff, I assigned someone to do the blending and that same set of people helps in cooking the moi moi while I provided ingredients that made it tasty.

Minichef didn't let me rest, she insisted that she want to help me and I dressed her on her chef's wear she was busy doing nothing too but she enjoyed her day as it was fun.

Washing and adding the fish to the pot
I cooked the afang soup in a large pot so as to contain it. I added all the ingredients and enough crayfish to bring out the taste of the soup. I've shown a tutorial on how to cook afang soup, but in this post, I've also shown a video on how some things were being put in the pot one after the other, feel free to watch.

Done cooking the soup
So I proceeded to making stew and then another person boiled white rice. I made the stew very tasty and the rice wasn't too soft but comes out very nice.

At this point the moi moi was also ready so we as a team packaged the meal, making the work faster and easier.
So the rice, stew, moi moi and meat were packed in one takeaway plate, added spoon and water in a nylon bag.

Finally I scooped the rice package it in a plate and deliver them to the workers, it wasn't an easy task but I'm grateful it was successful.
Of course we workers also ate food as we needed strength to continue working.
It was a collective work, we were able to deliver the food on time and the workers enjoyed it so much.
It's not my first time doing industrial cooking but I enjoyed the company of the many volunteers who helps and cooperate so as to finish and deliver the food in time.
This was indeed huge and very thoughtful of you to cook for 120 people!
I like the fact that you had extra hands to help with preparation of the ingredients and cooking process.
Almighty will reward your good deeds!
Well done!
I'm grateful thank you so much, I appreciate your nice and encouraging comments
