Baking Week

Cake, Quiche and Pizza


   For baking week I was very excited, I love to bake. I had great partners and pretty good recipes. Baking spelt pie crust, didn't love it so much. It didn't form well and Chef Julia had to gives us hers the next day for the quiche. The quiche came out tasting and looking really good. I was surprised again that I enjoyed something that had never been in my food repertoire.

   Our almond cake was easy to make, but it didn't hold together so great and the next class we frosted it. Our frosting was an issue that annoyed me. It didn't stay in a consistency that made it easy and pretty to work with, however in the long run it looked and tasted pretty good.

   Pizza day I was really excited about, Pizza is like a major food group in my personal world, but in the vein of our school and its philosophy all the crust were made with very alternative ingredients. That said a special dough had to be made for me, because all the others had some legume flour in them. You can begin to see my challenges. We all work on different recipes and are supposed to try them all. Due to my issue I can't eat a majority of the foods made, even one's I cook sometimes.
