"Baking Ingredients Testing"


Sea Salt Biscuit

Care for some ?

Attached are the pics ofthe cookies we did yesterday but not enough time to bake. Surprising it taste quite good ( cos we used caribe ( thinks is 66% cocoa, which i am not a very big fan of dark bitter chocolate) and with the sea salt in it ... it was simply fantastic to me , think i will make some soon myself @ home.
In the morning, we had our "Food Testing" which means we were asked to taste 40 different baking ingredients which include different chocolate, different flour,different sugar and etc... We had a hard time esp whrn it comes to flour and sugar ( had to tell which is cornstarch , plain flour , rye flour and ets .. also like icing sugar and decorating sugar.) The worst was the 2pid cirtic acid... it looks totally like sugar !!! so on thinking it was sugar ( dunno why also since we thot it was sugar , we still tried it ) and so me and my classmate took quite a big portion and OMG it was totally sour !!!! and that is not worst .... we had to try baking soda n baking power.It really test our taste buds !
Afternoon was another round of testing , we tried on fruit puree. Most of the fruits we can tell but some were really hard esp those with mixture in it ( but suprised that i hate peach but i can't tell the white peach flavour which i thot was guava ! And also we had a few mixture like pinacolada ( coconut + pineapple+rum+lime) so was quite hard to guess , esp we got some that mix with ginger ( i think )
Today we did not made anything but instead was ask to help to measure some ingredients for tomorrow workshop for some school.... And think the Chef was a bit not happy cos the other group actually missed out sugar and milk ( did i mention that yesterday they measured the ingredient wrongly) Oh ya , also today we saw Chef Fred*** and Chef D**n " cat fight " think Chef D**n was not happy we were a bit noise while he was having his class still ( ard 5.30pm) thus think he shouted us to keep quiet and Chef Fred**** shouted back at him , something like " why are you shouting at my students" then abit exchange of words ... but i dunno how serious they are but it seems like joking with each other, yet it seems like cat fight , only they themselve will knwo the answer :P
