Next we make the traditional French Nougat- pronounced new-gah! lol..<br />
Us Italians like to call it Torrone...:)<br />
<br />
It is a variety of similar traditional <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confectioneries" title="Confectioneries"></a>confections made with sugar and honey, roasted <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nut_%28fruit%29" title="Nut (fruit)"></a>nuts (a variety) and sometimes chopped candied fruit. The consistency of nougat can range from soft and chewy to hard and crunchy depending on its composition, and it is used in a variety of candy bars and chocolates. <br />
<br />
There are three basic kinds of nougat: The first, and most common, is white nougat (which appeared in Italy in the early 15th century and later in France in the 18th century) is made with beaten egg whites and honey. The second is brown nougat (referred to as "mandorlato" in Italy and <i>nougatine</i> in French) is made without egg whites and has a firmer, often crunchy texture. The third is the Viennese or German nougat which is essentially a chocolate and nut (usually hazelnut) praline.<br />
<br />
This one was made from egg whites, sugar, glucose, and honey. We later tossed in toasted pistachios and almonds. <br />

Now onto Guimauve, or as we all know it...the Marshmallow! A whipped confection. <br />
<br />
The use of marshmallow to make a candy dates back to Ancient Eygpt where the recipe called for extracting sap from the plant and mixing it with nuts and honey. The stem was peeled back to reveal the soft and spongy pith, which was boiled in sugar syrup and dried to produce a soft, chewy confection.<br />
<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Rohde_1-1"></sup><br />
<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Rohde_1-1"></sup><br />
<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Rohde_1-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshmallow#cite_note-Rohde-1"><span></span><span></span></a></sup>Candymakers in early 19th century France made the innovation of whipping up the marshmallow sap and sweetening it, to make a confection similar to modern marshmallow. The confection was made locally, however, by the owners of small candy stores. They would extract the sap from the mallow plant's root, and whip it themselves. The candy was very popular, but its manufacture was labor-intensive. In the late 19th century, French manufacturers devised a way to get around this by using egg whites or gelatin, combined with cornstarch, to create the chewy base. <br />

Lastly, pate de fruit.<br />
What is pate de fruit? A chewy candy with intense fruit taste made from purees of fresh fruit. To prepare, fruit is boiled and cooked down with sugar to an extremely concentrated, almost jam-like consistency before being poured, cooled and cut into small squares rolled in sugar. <br />
<br />
Made in all sorts of flavors, we made passionfruit and raspberry the last 2 days<br />

Last week I did not get a chance to blog, so tonight is overload!<br />
<br />
We are on week two of cakes/entremets.<br />
<br />
First off, what is an entremet? or what does entremet mean?<br />
<br />
Entremet translates to "between servings". Dishes that were intended to be eaten as well as entertain can be traced back at least to the early Roman Empire. In the 14th century entremets began to involve not just eye-catching displays of amusing haute cuisine, but also more prominent and often highly symbolic forms of inedible entertainment.<br />
<br />
Today entremet, the term is used to name mousse cakes or cakes with lots of layers and components.<br />
<br />
So far we have made 3 entremets. <br />
<br />
Coconut Passionfruit Cake<br />
2 layers of coconut dacquoise ( a think layer of meringue and nut flour), passionfruit mousse, candied pineapple and coconut mousse<br />
<br />

I think I made the ladies in my building very happy as well when I adorned them with all my goodies.<br />
<br />
Lets get to it...<br />
First things first, we had to get a nice glaze on our puff pastry with confectionary sugar for our Mille Feuille.<br />

Mille Feuille translates to thousand layers or sheets...or also called napoleans. <br />
We cut them into different sizes and layered three layers of puff with pastry cream. Simple and tasty!<br />

This time with a lemon curd which consists of less butter and more egg than yesterday's which makes for more of a "tart" taste. <br />
<br />
We then made an Italian meringue and piped those teardrops once again in a circular pattern....and torched it...smelt like yummy toasty marshmallows. :)<br />

<br />
We continued with our puff pastry again...<br />
we rolled it out for its final roll, docked the dough and chilled it until ready to cut.<br />
We then cut the puff into circles for our St.Honore cakes and pastries which then we piped pate a choux on top which is the way a traditional St. Honore cake is made. We also took the rest of our choux pastry and piped puffs which we will bake tomorrow and assemble around the cake. It is going to be delicious...and if it that is not good it is going to be filled with a pastry cream/whipping cream combo. yum!<br />

<br />
So what have we accomplished so far?<br />
<br />
1.Baked fruit tarts<br />
2. Lemon Cream tart <br />
3.The start of inverted puff pastry<br />
<br />
We have a new chef as our instructor this week, Chef Della Gosset<br />
<br />
Lets get started...<br />
<br />
Baked fruit tarts....figs, sour cherries and apricots! yum<br />
A pate foncer was the base for our tart. Of course a buttery tart with an extra fine texture.<br />
We filled the tart with frangipane (pastry cream and almond cream) with a combo of fruits.<br />
My large tart was a fig sour cherry combo and the minis had apricots and sour cherries.<br />
They were also topped with crushed almonds and powdered sugar.<br />
<br />

Works for me:)<br />
<br />
<br />
We also started making inverted puff pastry for our St. Honore which we will finish Friday.<br />
Almost like the croissant dough, but rather then enrobing butter with dough, we enrobed dough in BUTTER! Crazy! 6 turns get made to our puff pastry dough.... <br />
<br />

<br />
Lastly, our lemon cream tart.<br />
A nice play on the classic lemon meringue...which is made with lemon curd *which we will be making tomorrow*<br />
This one is made with a lemon cream rather then curd and topped with meringue delight with sucre gran as the garnish. <br />

A whole lot of work and effort, but all so worth it in the end...<br />
<br />
First off, what is a croquembouche?<br />
For all of you who do not know, a croquembouche is a French pastry that is traditionally served at weddings and religious events. It is a high cone of pate a choux filled with pastry cream and then dipped in caramel and bound together. Traditionally the layers are alternated with sucre gran (sugar crystals). Other components also include sugar work, flowers or ribbons! <br />
<br />
<br />
Shall we begin...<br />
<br />
We started on Thursday by making our pate a choux and nougatine for the base or basket that the tower would set into.<br />

<br />
I kinda feel like Paula Dean today with all the butter we used in our buttercream cakes lol<br />
<br />
I never got to show you the finishing touches we made to our flowers and basic fondant cakes.<br />
I did not put the flowers on my cake because I didnt have space for the dummies in my apartment, so I only kept the flowers. Also, the orchids are being kept for our Croquembouche towers that we will be starting tomorrow. <br />
So Ta-DA!<br />

Sponge cake, reminded me of my "nonna" when it came out of the oven, smelt good, but never something I would think to pair with buttercream....but I wasnt about to blabber that out loud so I figured I would wait and taste it myself.<br />
Here are the sponge cakes after baking:<br />

Then time to taste it- And delicious....but too much sweetness, definitely needing an acidic or bitter offset to all the sugar. But nonetheless the sponge was delicious, and its too bad it cannot be used in multiple tiers of wedding cakes (because its too delicate). <br />
<br />
Here are some photos of my fellow students with there cakes:)<br />

<br />
Last week was exams...which I may say was not as scary as we all expected it to be. The pressure was on...yes forsure..especially when the chefs get together and speak French to one another about your products...you just don't know what they could be sayin! lol...But I made it out alive...and with an A if I may add!<br />
<br />
As for this week,we started the basics of fondant and worked alot on gumpaste flowers.<br />
Roses<br />
Lilys<br />
Orchids<br />
Blossoms<br />
Leaves<br />
Carnations<br />
<br />
Every one keeps saying this is my week! But really I do not have that much professional practice in flowers like lilys and orchids, besides it is always interesting to learn new techniques and ways of working. The materials we use as well are different from what I am used to, some more useful others hard to adapt to because of my experience already.<br />

Oh yes...we started fondant basics as well....and when I say basic..I mean basic!<br />
<br />
The 24 week patisserie program only skims on the topic of wedding cakes, which is fine by me, I am here to learn all the other stuff, but I must say I picked up a few tips still from watching Chef Mark put together a 3 tier dummy cake.<br />
<br />
He taught the class today how to assemble a dummy and a real cake, as well as how to work with fondant and showed some different techniques for borders with molds and stencils. <br />
<br />
Here are some photos of our basic cake...more a dummy for exploration and to allow the class to get familiar with the materials. Probably the most simple dummy I have made, but all in good fun!<br />

Next week should be exciting because we will learn some new cake recipes and work with Chef Kristen on a stacked real cake, which will teach the class how to make cakes meant for stacking and how to mask a cake in buttercream and assemble. Should be good!<br />
<br />
Happy Weekend! <br />

<br />
Sourdough probably the most difficult bread to make..ok maybe not difficult, but time consuming and requires quite a bit attention to keep the starter/levain alive. Without a healthy levain, forget about it!<br />
<br />
We made regular and multigrain- delicious- probably one of my favorite of the breads. <br />

The different shapes include:<br />
<br />
- Couronne Bordelaise<br />
-Tabatiere<br />
-Auvergnat<br />
-Fendu<br />
-Tricorne <br />

Brioche Bostock is the use of day old brioche, which is then cut into slices, brushed with an almond orange blossom sugar syrup and topped with almond cream and sliced almonds....and then baked!<br />
What a mouthful.<br />
We actually do not know why it is called bostock, although we know its a tradition in Alsace. <br />
Im telling you, it is like a new french toast for me...so buttery, crunchy and the taste of rum is so light but yet adds so much flavor.<br />
<br />

Which means we have a written component, and then we have to make roughly 8-9 recipes from the petit fours and bread sections. So more bread for exams!<br />
<br />
Stick around for Monday- we are watching a master chef demo from Chef Pierre!<br />
Should be exciting and a nice break to working!<br />

<br />
A twist to the regular croissants that is, almond! Yum.<br />
We slice opened our regular croissants,brushed them with an almond sugar syrup, then filled them with almond cream and topped them with delicious sliced almonds.<br />
<br />
Voila!<br />

We also made a special request from Cristina, pain au raisin.<br />
In France, it is typically a variant on the croissant made with a leavened butter pastry, with raisins added, shaped in a spiral with a pastry cream filling. <br />
Very nice, and a new fun method. <br />

We also practiced brioche again, as we did with the toast bread and the beer bread...<br />
I am sure because it will be on our exam next week.<br />
This time though we shaped our brioche differently, which was fun.<br />
We go to make braids :)<br />
So pretty once complete.<br />

A "starter" for our sourdough.<br />
I would of never thought a sourdough was so difficult to make, it is like a baby!<br />
Needing sometimes up to 2 feedings a day...of bread and flour that is.<br />
<br />
So come on back tomorrow to see our regular sourdough and multi-grain sourdough..<br />
im looking forward to that...grains..finally!<br />

I think NOT!I wish I could dislike one thing, just one. It all tastes so amazing and authentic.<br />
<br />
Today especially, with our flaky pain au chocolat! I am sure my family will be very excited when I visit back home next weekend because they are in for some tasty treats.<br />
The Pain au Chocolat especially!...hmm hmmm Alessan. lol<br />

Like we could sell this stuff in the streets...total overload!<br />
<br />
We also made 2 different baguettes, same style only learning two different methods.<br />
One with a traditional poolish (a starter) for the bread which we prepped yesterday and allowed to sit over night at room temperature, much more liquid-y and essentially breaks down the sugars more, allowing for a nutty, more caramelized note on the palette. The other starter was a prefermented dough which is much more spongy in texture and lighter. Both delicious, but my preference being the poolish method...go figure the more time consuming method lol- it needs 12 hrs minimum before the dough can be mixed!<br />
All worth it in the end...I am sure my cousins are enjoying those beauties:)<br />

<br />
<br />
We have also started to prep more dough for more croissants..(i know how many can one soul possibly eat...apparently alot! But we did make an almond orange blossom simple syrup to use for them)....and more danishes (I think a different flavor this time, possibly with a pastry cream versus the almond cream)<br />
<br />
The more we learn, the better!<br />
<br />
Au Revoir!<br />

A little more quiet today,<br />
we made kugelhopf and farmers bread and we started our poolish for baguettes tomorrow. <br />
<br />
Lets start with the kugelhopf,<br />
a southern German, Austrian and Alsatian term for a bundt style cake/brioche.<br />
Kugel- meaning ball or globe<br />
and<br />
Hupf- meaning jump or rise <br />
<br />
It consists of a soft yeast dough which is topped with almonds, and has raisins soaked in Kirsch. <br />
It is baked in a special circular pan which is made only in Alsace, France. It has a central tube, and originally made of enameled pottery. Basically a brioche, but because it is baked in this specific pan it is called a kugelhopf.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos:<br />

And you guessed it right...bread! More of it....<br />
<br />
So what did I make again?..hmm...<br />
<br />
Oh how could I forget,<br />
croissants<br />
beignets<br />
danishes<br />
waffles <br />
french bread (yup! more of it)<br />
beer bread<br />
<br />
I am on ovvverloadd!<br />
<br />
Lets start with the beignets, because they were probably my favorite!<br />
So pillow-y and soft, coated in the best -cinnamon and sugar<br />
Reminded me of the traditional fried dough or bombe style donut, but so different- more layers when you bite into it, and just so good, especially hot!<br />
<br />

On to croissants, so I told you we had to start them the day before and did the first few turns on the dough. Now we did the final turn, fold and roll out and we were ready to cut and roll up our croissants.<br />
Here they are:<br />

Now, danishes are a similar dough as the croissant, but slightly different. We made almond pear danishes. Here are some photos of us rolling and folding our dough like with the croissant and then cutting and shaping the base for our almond pear filling.<br />

Now, how many of you love waffles?<br />
<br />
I can honestly say I have never been a waffle fan, I would always take pancakes or crepes over a waffle any day!<br />
Hahaha..let me tell you, these waffles we made, have changed my life!<br />
I have never tasted anything so light, airy and crispy all at the same time. And all we did was dust them with confectionery sugar after, I can only imagine what they would be like sandwiched with vanilla ice cream. A Belgium classic, these waffles will all make you run for seconds!...maybe even thirds.<br />

SO today was an eventful day.<br />
<br />
Loaves of bread, lemon pound cake, the start of crossiants and prep for beignets!<br />
Could life get any better? well maybe a little fatter! haha<br />
<br />
So here we have our lemon pound cake- meaning 25% of each, butter, flour, sugar and eggs=deliciosa!<br />
This one is for you mamma....too bad you cannot indulge with a nice cafe.<br />
<br />

After we made our lemon pound cakes we went on to making our poolish for our beignets- which we will be finishing tomorrow, and from what I hear, they are supposed to be amazing! But lets get real here...nothing is bad! It is all good...which is a big problem:o lol<br />

Here we have Rosalina, my partner for the next two weeks scaling some dough for our French bread.<br />
We made our French bread into the shape of batards- do you know why its called a batard?<br />
We are not too sure, but it definitely means "bastard" when translated! haha, maybe it was the neglected one because its not a baguette and not a boule (round)....its a batard!<br />
I dont really care what it is called, because nonetheless, it was good.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is the process from rolling the dough, to proofing, to the baked product!<br />

We were not able to complete the crossiants today, we started rolling and folding them, twice precisely, but tomorrow we complete the folding and rolling and shaping and BAKING and EATING! lol<br />
We have started with plain croissants and will be making almond next week along with pain au chocolat.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow! Beignets, the start of danishes and beer bread...im sure it will be a good one!<br />
Keep on coming back...:)<br />

<br />
Brioche is the word!<br />
So amazing, and made into three variations as if wasn't already good on its own!<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Brioche loaf- almost resembling a challah style bread<br />
2. Brioche with Streusel- so amazingly soft, sweet and crunchy- ALL AT THE SAME TIME :O<br />
3. Brioche with beesting- an amazing coating of sugar, honey, butter and almonds at the bottom of the brioche that creates a crunchy surface because it has been caramelized.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos of them before and after proofing and baking:<br />

I dont know if your all excited but I sure am!<br />
<br />
We have started breads:)<br />
Today we made Pain de mie (toast bread)..medium-soft crumb and slightly sweeter than your average bread. Quite easy to make actually, taking about 20 minutes to mix and a total of 1 hr to proof total.<br />
The dough yielded 3 small loaves.<br />
<br />

<br />
The French way of making bread is the artisan way= no magic powders = aka all the preservatives!!<br />
The main ingredients and really the only four ingredients should be Flour, Salt, water and yeast. <br />
Those ingredients will make the best bread in the world:)<br />
<br />
We also made the start for the brioche. What a workout! 25-30 minutes of pulling and stretching (kind of like the bend and snap!) haha...<br />
We also work the dough with a term called "la soufflage". Below are photos of the technique.<br />
Normally, we make the dough in the machines but today we did the brioche by hand to learn- but sadly we were not able to bake it just yet, it has to sit in the cooler overnight--so hold your breathe till tomorrow---- I dont know about you but brioche is my favorite- maybe because its 50% butter to flour :o Yikes! Hit the gym afterwards!!<br />

<br />
We got to filling the pink macaron with a raspberry filling we made with fresh raspberries and raspberry puree. We also made the French meringue method for macaron...and they are chocolate...could it get any better?....yup! We made earl grey chocolate ganache to fill those babies. So fragrant and decadent.<br />

The pastry cream tarts are of course a sweet dough filled with a vanilla custard and topped with beautifully cut up fruit. Probably one of my favorite French staple desserts. We made them special by making a citrus candied zest as a garnish and as a pop of flavor. <br />

It is a thin crisp sweet or sometimes savory cookie or wafer made with dough or sugar. Tuile, meaning tile in French and meant to resemble French roof tiles. <br />

Sugar and Almonds? How could anyone not like them. Tricky little suckers to make....they have to be baked for just the right amount of time, just like so many French pastries...not to little, but not too much...just right! We dont want to under or over bake these tuiles because we want them to bend and shape perfectly once we pull them from the oven...but not as soon as they come out....just mere seconds after...definitely a product to keep your eye on. <br />
<br />
Petit fours have been fun, and I think I am ready to step away and move on to breads and breakfast pastries for the next two weeks...Im ready to roll up my sleeves, whip out the muscles and get kneading and rolling! <br />
<br />
Look for it....up tomorrow: blueberry muffins, brioche and toast bread!<br />
