Just great, Koko! The pictures are well planned and executed, no
doubt difficult while still working on your pastries. I'm so glad to
hear about the room temp butter thing. The more I keep learning about
pie crusts, the more that whole ice cold butter/dough myth irks me.
I'd love to hear details about your pastry cream recipe. Did you use
gelatin? I'll be watching your blog for updates.
I so miss the cooking classes I use to attend at Draeger's in Palo
Alto CA. We didn't cook, ourselves, but they were small sessions of
no more than cpl doz ppl and even the last row was within normal
conversation distance of the chef. Also, this was back in the day
before MADD hepped the legal establishment to the potential cash flow
from the whole DUI scam and excellent free wine was endless throughout
the 3-4 hr lessons. By the end of each lesson, total strangers were
nicely lubricated and new found friends with each other and the chef,
many of some renown (Jerimiah Tower, Gary Danko, etc). I still make
many of the dishes I learned in those memorable classes.
Keep us posted about more classes!
