May 9, 2011 - Day 1 of Baking and Pastry I

So this is my first entry.  I plan on typing on this page at least once or twice a week, or maybe even after each of my classes.  This blog is meant to be a journal of the things that I've learned, or have done during my courses in Culinary and Baking & Pastry Programs.

Up first, Baking and Pastry Day 1 assignments:

1.  Blueberry Muffins

 

2.  Country Biscuits

Simple, yet a bit of work went into making these.  If this is/was day 1, I can't wait for days 2, 3, 4....and beyond in this course and the other courses.

By the way...I did have a homework assignment.  Each week in this course, I'll be given one word that I'll have to define and discuss in class the following week.  My word is Galaktobureko.  Don't ask me to pronounce it, but I do know that by the Greek definition, galakto means milk, and bureko means pie.  It is in fact a traditional Greek milk and butter pie made with filo pastry (paper thin type of pastry).  I do hope to make this one day just to see how it tastes.

Until next time... keep chewing
