New Term, same Semester...

After easter holiday for a week, the new term had started. Still in semester 1, but just term 2. In this term, the subjects that I'm learning is:-


~ intro to hospitality
~ prepare and produce yeast goods
~ preparation kitchen
~ coffee service
~ prepare and produce pastries
and another subject continue from last term, common core.


I kinda hate common core because is "common bore", is really boring, specially the lecture part. The lecture just reading the slides which I can read them at home after I downloaded them. 

Kitchen class is interesting and fun, also the chefs are GREAT!!!!! The chefs are John De Bont (Pastries), Leon Voigt (Preparation kitchen) and Aurelie Germanier (Yeast Goods). Coffee class, is the best, as the lecture is very funny, humour, cute and more. Can't describe. His name is Ian Frost. Cute name, huh??

I realised that I did not make the wrong decision. I just regret that I didn't choose when I was 18. But  never mind, I'm still young. I'm gonna make my parent proud of me and I'm gonna prove to those who think that I cannot study (as my parents didn't study in college or university), I CAN DO IT!!!!!!! I'LL MAKE YOU CRY, ASS!!!!!!!!!

Souffle

Friday, 23/3/2012
(Hot and Cold Dessert)


Today is the last class and next week is my exam. NERVOUS and EXCITED!!!

Soufflé, 

is a french verb means "to blow up" or more loosely "puff up", a description of what happens to the combination of custard and eggs. 

Soufflé is a lightly baked cake made with egg yolks and soft meringue, with the combination of other ingredients and served as savory or sweet dessert. 

Foods that comely used for the base in a soufflé include cheese, jam, fruits, berries, chocolate, banana and lemon.

When it comes out from the oven, a soufflé should be puffed up and fluffy and it will generally fall after 5 to 10 minutes.

Souffles can be in containers of any shapes and sizes but it is traditionally make in a ramekins. These containers are very greatly in sizes but are typically glazed white, flat-bottomed, round porcelain containers with unglazed bottoms and fluted exterior borders.
