A passion for home baking. Superior patisserie course at Le Cordon Bleu: Week 1. April 11, 2016. June 9, 2016. As superior students we’re expected to be more independent and creative with our work. A big difference with our course folder this term is we have actually been given the methods to the recipes! Time to show chef what we’re made of then! Chocolates and confectioneries made by my mini-group. Close-up of everything made. My final wheel of cheese! Next week we will be tackling the chocolate box, o...

Week 3 was when we had our Boulangerie unit and as usual it was the most laid back and chilled week. During the first practical we made ciabatta, fougasse (in the shape of rolls) and cheese bread (in the shape of a fougasse – confusing much? Boulangerie unit day 1: 1 = Olive and sun dried tomato ciabatta, 2 = filled fougasse, 3 = fougasse-shaped cheese bread. Creamed lemon parfait with vani...

A passion for home baking. Intermediate Patisserie Course at Le Cordon Bleu: Week 10. April 7, 2016. This post is really late as I’ve been busy and exhausted since the last day of class on the 18th of March. I’ve actually just started the Superior Patisserie term but I’ll cover that in a separate post. I came out of the exam not feeling very confident at all.
