This monday we had a pastry lesson. We did petit choux. The students were allowed to choose between chocolate or custard filling. The white stuff on the top is italian meringue.
This looks yummy! :) How is the response from the kitchen students when you have patisserie classes? I met a lot of future chefs at the school I worked at. They could not find any good reason why to learn how to bake.
Yes that is at big issue. I try to tell the class that they never know where they will be working in the future. and now it is a trend making all the stuff in the kitchen on your own. There is not many restaurants who have a baker.
These look very well achieved - even without enthusiasm from all learners, perhaps. These are amazing skills to have in your repertoire so they will benefit from having so many aspects of food preparation as part of their skill set when it comes to finding work. I agree, only the biggest places have a baker here in Australia too, but very few students would be working at this amazing level in schools in Australia - maybe when out in industry placement but this is really great

ReplyDeleteBut knowing how to bake is a skill worth having.
