Apple 3rd (2nd week)

Image
Pronounce it: ap-pel Grown in temperate regions, apples are one of the most widely cultivated tree fruits. There are over 7,000 varieties in existence, many of which are grown in Britain but, despite that, only around 12 varieties are commonly sold in UK supermarkets, of which many are imported. Colours range from red, to yellow and green, but all varieties fall into one of two categories: eating, also sometimes called dessert apples (including Cox's Orange Pippin, Golden Delicious, Granny Smiths, Braeburn, Gala, Pink Lady and Jonagold) or cooking, with the latter being more tart in flavour, a result of their higher levels of malic acid (the best is Bramley, though Blenheim Orange, Grenadier, Reverend W Wilkes and Ida Red are also available). The texture can be very crisp and juicy or more yielding, according to variety. All apples are a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as fibre. Availability All year round, though British apples are at their best from September t...

Asparagus 2nd (2nd Week)

Image
Pronounce it: a-spa-ra-gus Labour-intensive to grow, asparagus are the young shoots of a cultivated lily plant. They're considered to be one of the delicacies of the vegetable world, with a price tag to match, and have a distinct, intense savoury flavour. Sprue is the term for young, very slender asparagus. While French asparagus is purple, the British and American varieties are green. In contrast, Spanish and much Dutch asparagus is white, as it's grown beneath the soil and cut just as the tips emerge. All types pack a nutritional punch, with high levels of vitamins A and C, potassium, iron and calcium, and they're also diuretic, giving urine an unmistakable aroma (which, curiously, not everyone can smell!). Availability Imports are available all year round, but the British stuff, which is reckoned by many to be the best, is available from May to July. Choose the best The tips should be tightly furled and perky, rather than limp, and the shoots should be str...

Hello guys. Today i will make Pate sucree / sweetcrust pastry / sugar dough. Shortcrust pastry is a type of pastry often used for the base of a tart, quiche or pie. It does not puff up during baking because it usually contains no leavening agent. It is possible to make shortcrust pastry with self-rising flour, however. Shortcrust pastry can be used to make both sweet and savory pies such as apple pie, quiche, lemon meringue or chicken pie. This sweetcrust pastry used for tomorrow, we filled and selling it. I used this recipe : Sweetcrust pastry : 350gr Soft Flour 300gr Butter/Margarin 1 Eggyolk 100gr Sugar 1pinch Salt 2tbsp Cold water Method : 1.

Nouvelle Cuisine

Image
Marie Antoine Careme ( French: “new cuisine”) eclectic style in international cuisine, originating in France during the 1960s and ’70s, that stressed freshness, lightness, and clarity of flavour and inspired new movements in world cuisine. In reaction to some of the richer and more-calorie-laden extravagances of classic French grande cuisine, nouvelle cuisine sought to emphasize the natural flavours, textures, and colours of foodstuffs. Citing the unhealthiness of a diet heavy in fats, sugars, refined starches, and salt, it minimized the use of those ingredients. Nouvelle cuisine was also influenced by the Japanese style of food presentation. Auguste Escoffier Origins and Tenets In the early 21st century, it was difficult to appreciate just how rigid the grande cuisine system of French chefs Marie-Antoine CarĂªme and Auguste Escoffier had become by the mid-20th century. It was a highly regimented repertoire. Chefs could, and did, invent new dishes, but there was...

Learning how to measure ingredients is essential when you are learning how to cook. The correct balance of ingredients is what makes food taste good. We all know when there is too much salt in something, and can certainly tell when something is too spicy or bitter. Professional cooks make it look so easy by just throwing in a dash of this or a pinch of that, but they have the experience and the feel for measuring without always having to use the exact measuring tool. When you are learning how to cook, it is best to try to be precise with all your measurements. The three basic tools used to measure ingredients in cooking are: 1. Measuring spoons 2. Measuring cups 3. Measuring jug (liquid) 1. Measuring spoons A basic set of measuring spoons come with 5 spoons: 1/8 teaspoon ¼ teaspoon ½ teaspoon 1 teaspoon 1 Tablespoon Function : measuring the ingredients in tablespoon or teaspoon weight. Materials : Plastick, Stainless steel. How to clean : wash with soap...
