A display of culinary talent by HMCS Regina’s S3 Connor Melville

S3 Connor Melville

HMCS Regina’s S3 Connor Melville successfully accomplished his Cook RQ Cpl/S1 Package Practical Confirmation Dinner on May 16.

Cooks on board HMC Ships hold an important responsibility to ensure crew morale, health, and well-being by continuously serving fresh, healthy, and delicious meals in accordance with Canada’s Food Guide to Healthy Eating and the CAF Food Services Manual.

This is a milestone for S3 Melville’s career progression as it makes him eligible for QL5 training at Canadian Forces Logistics Training Center (CFLTC) in Borden, ON, in the near future.

His meal consisted of a fresh herb clover roll, watermelon and cucumber salad dressed with a lime and vanilla vinaigrette, fresh halibut ceviche served with fried plantain chips, a mint and mango sorbet palate cleanser, beef filet mignon and lobster tail accompanied with a horseradish aioli, duchesse potatoes and beurre noisette asparagus almondine. For dessert, Breton Style Crepes filled with a mixture of fresh berries, coulis, and shredded dark chocolate. To conclude this delicacy, an old fashioned cocktail digestif smoked with apple wood and rosemary. Bravo Zulu S3 Melville.
