Our next recipe comes from India! Everyone's favourite bread - Naan. Like most bread recipes this is fairly easy and comes together quick, however it has to sit and rest/rise for at least an hour. Bring something to work on in class, because it will be a quick lab to make the dough, the following day will take the time to fry.

Time to review the classics. We're going to try a couple of ethnic recipes, some will work, I have a feeling that some will not but lets give it a go. First up is a crowd favourite and Ms. Wei's Mum loves them - scallion pancakes. It is a 2 day lab, very important that the dough rests for at least an hour.
Thanks to Ms. Lewis we have created an evaluation for term 2 for all classes that Ms. Siverson and Ms. Lewis teach.

ADST 8 Baking 11/12 Culinary Leadership (Catering) Textile Arts It's time to move on to our next recipe. We are working on Yeast breads next, as a warm up we are making the one hour breadsticks you made for the open house (except you get to eat these ones). Work quickly so you may finish them today.
Remember when we watched Chef? Carl Casper took his son to Cafe du Monde in New Orleans, the beignets were so tempting. Deep fried pillows of carbohydrate heaven! I searched the internet and found a recipe by Bobby Flay, lets try.
Last October I attended the BC Culinary Chefs Association conference in Kelowna where I learned the easiest Mousse ever! Now its your turn to make it. Sophia and Rochelle in catering, are testing the recipe for you and we've made a video so you better understand the technique. Delicious and quick to make, share with your family and friends.
We are one week out from Valentines day and time to continue on our chocolate journey. This time we're making chocolate truffles, from scratch! The recipe is super easy - a ganache rolled in cocoa powder, nuts or sprinkles. I have a few different flavoured extracts, cinnamon, vanilla, lemon, banana, coconut or you can try soaking a flavoured tea bag in the cream before mixing with the chocolate -earl grey or green tea. The recipe does take 2 days to make, as they have to set in the fridge so patience is a must.
It's February! Time for chocolate. This week, before we work on our websites again, it's time to make chocolate lava cakes. At the beginning of the year we watched Chef and Jon Faverau had a complete meltdown over how to make a lava cake. 'It's not an under-cooked cake,(*sic) it has a disc of chocolate ganache that creates the molten centre'. Our cake actually has less flour and more of a pudding like texture.
We are starting the chocolate unit in February, but first you can experiment with the chocolate chip cookie recipe. I have put a plethora (look it up) of ingredients on the demo table to experiment with, such as: chocolate chips, m&m's, marshmallows, coconut, oat flour, cranberries, orange zest. Only your imagination will keep you back. When documenting, remember to reflect on your experience; if you just follow the recipe, you are an emerging baker. If you take the ingredients and suggestions I make; you are an developing baker, and if you blow me away with your creativity; you are extending.
