Hey everyone! I know I haven't written anything for, like, A WEEK. I've been caught up in life to say the least. I'll be trying to catch up on everything the next few days, because I documented everything as well! I have a few new recipes coming to the recipe tab soon, as well as some pictures of the Delmar Loop's Ice Carnival. I am waiting on pictures of the sculptures before I post that though. Today was Thursday, which means : BAKING!!! Today was the first part of our cookies segment. We made Tuile, Madelines, Coconut macaroons, and biscotti! The Tuile as you can see to the left were molded into shapes like the flower and spoon. This cookie gets its name , I'm told, because they originally looked like French style shingles called Tuile. Think of a more rounded pringle shape. These were very delicate cookies, but also very yummy. The Madelines - a cross between a lemon pound cake and a cookie, coconut macaroons, and biscotti were all dipped in chocolate. The biscotti Theresa and I made were pistachio hazelnut. They were soooooooooo good, especially after eating all of the other sweet treats. We did have some snacks other than cookies to nibble on of course! This week Chef Todd let us sample some rosemary olive bread as well as some raisin Rye I believe. We eat the entirety of this class. I also picked up a new lavender herb blend at the indoor farmers market. More on that in another post. So check out the pictures from class today and be on the lookout for multiple posts in a day. Happy cooking!
