Week 7

So i usually post on the weekend of all the stuff we have done that week, but i have Wine Class at school on Saturday so 

This is Savoury week, and a little bit of setting up.
Monday we did Sausage rolls, Buttermilk crackers, Tortiere, and then Empanda and Samosa fillings.





Sausage rolls,they were so good! almost reminded me of the stuffing rolls i always got back home.

Buttermilk crackers were also delicious!  If i docked them more they would ahve stayed flat and not puffed up.















Tortiere would not be my favorite thing to eat in the world but nonetheless interesting to make.






Then tuesday we used two fillings we made on monday, so we are starting to learn how to time things and work as a bakeshop and not just doing one thing a day.
I forgot to take pictures this day so i these are taken at home the day after, just a fyi :)

Spanakopita!!!!
These are the best things i have ever put in my mouth!!
Taste so good, with the flaky crispy outer shell, and the cheesy spinach inside, it just equals yummyness and amazingness :D

We also made Empanadas, and Samosas.
Samosas are like party hats or tents, you make a cone and then put your filling in and then pinch the bottom and make flat and then you can sit them all up before cooking. I should have taken a picture but i  forgot :( oops lol

The empanadas reminded me of perogies,  its Just the way you put them together. 

Tomato Ricotta Tart.. Well i tried ricotta cheese for the first time.. and im not a fan, im such a picky eater, but this adventure is definitely making me try new things and expanding my palatte. Also not a huge onion lover so the onion tart my partner took home, so i dont have a picture of it, (remember  that i forgot to take pics so these were from at home the day after





Wednesday.
i enjoyed this day as it included a couple of things that i have always wanted to make but just never got around to it. Ladyfingers(this is used in Tiramisu!!!!)

the other thing we made that was very interesting to me is Pate Decor. It is very simple but i just never would have thought that was what made the design.

 For Pate Decor you can pipe out words or a design, as well as draggin a stencil through to create lines. Chef Kat made this one to demo to us. You have to pipe backwards so she was holding it up so we could read it. Once your design is piped out then you freeze it and spread Jaconde on top and back. During baking the desing and Jaconde become one and then you have one sheet of cake with a colorful design in it.

Chef Kat also did emulsion for the biology gal in my class

 
The only other thing i remembered to take a picture of is Progres, which is almost like a hazelnut meringue. We piped them in circles to use at the base and floaters for cakes (i think anyways lol, friday is when we are puttin all the cakes together! )

I didnt take any pictures today at school, so i will just explain thursday schooling on the next post as its getting late and it was a crappy day for me today.

Hope everyone had a good week,
