hahaha let me tell you some of the things that they don t tell you about what i do when i see ads for culinary schools and see culinary students i want to stop them on the street and tell them that it s all bullshit whatever the admissions counselor told them ain t crap nobody ever told me that my passion would be pushed aside by babysitting duties or that i ll have to teach the same people the same skills every day and then one day before they ve mastered the basics or consistency what s that they ll be asking for a raise because they ve worked for you for x amount of months or that my passion would be smothered by a pile of papers emails sticky notes of reminders and recipe note post a comment read more pastry family tree get link facebook x pinterest email other apps october 12 2012 one of the challenges that i face with my staff is that they tend to slow down and become nervous when given a new recipe whether it is for something as simple a new cookie or something a little more complex for instance i gave a recipe to one of my newer cooks j it listed the ingredients listed cooking methods and combining the components when it came time to finishing the recipe it said put the pastry cream into the robot coupe and add the chevre she turned to me and asked if she had missed something where is the pastry cream it s not listed in the ingredients she asked i then had to show her that the first part of the recipe is making a pastry cream with the first few ingredients i suppose part of me knew that they are not aware of what they are making on a daily basis or why that they just look at ingredients listed and methods and don t think about it that they were just blindly trying to get through prep lists and go home j 1 comment read more pickled cherries get link facebook x pinterest email other apps july 15 2012 i just got back from ace hardware with a dozen 4 oz jars with lids exciting i know it s cherry season again and seeing that i still have brandied cherries in my fridge apparently i don t drink enough cocktails i decided to make pickled cherries this year i made some at work for our cherry inspired dessert on the mckinlock court menu so i figured why not make some at home and try canning them and of course give them away as gifts the following recipe is sort of a template in that you can substitute as needed for instance i didn t have any cider vinegar so i used champagne vinegar instead i also didn t have any cloves but i had some wine muddling spices left over from winter and since it s mostly cloves i used that instead feel free to substitute whatever you want that complements your fruit i made a little over twice this recipe 2 31 times to be exact and had enough to fill twelve 4 oz jars and one pickling syrup 116 grams post a comment read more raspberry cream puff get link facebook x pinterest email other apps may 19 2012 seems cream puffs are all the rage these days at least among the chefs i admire i remembered something from my days back at trump when my pastry chef hichem was working on pate a choux with a streusel top he had conversations with a french chef and experimented at work i m not sure if he was testing the other chef s recipes or if they were sharing ideas and working on a technique but in any event i used this technique for my raspberry cream puff one of the new desserts at aic i got the recipe which i call cassonade dough from a french recipe i rather like these though they re becoming more commonplace at many bakeries and restaurants across the us but at least i can say that i was a witness during the development stage raspberry cream puff raspberry cream lemon curd st germain chia seeds micro lemon balm freeze dried raspberries post a comment read more chocolate brandied cherry

friends i can t recall where exactly i got this recipe but i m sure if i wasn t lazy i could do a google and find the original and tell you where i got it but seeing that it is 12 22 and i ve only my second dozen cookies in the oven and that i haven t been feeling too well lately i m hoping that you ll let me off the hook in any event the recipe isn t mine and the idea isn t original but i m
