From basics to getting crazy baking






If you look at Pastries by Pierre Hermes, the big list of ingredients will push away even the interested from baking.
On the other end of spectrum is Robert BlakesLee's 'Your time to bake', as accesible as 'your time to cook'. The first 1/6th of the book lists all the techniques in baking. Uptil here its a guide for the beginners.
I was very taken by the chocoroon brownies - brownies with a sweet coconut bottom. I made them. I also made Mexican wedding cakes and walnut puffs. They were all liked by friends and family. It was fun getting hands covered in powdered sugar. Initially when I put the hot cookies in the powder, it formed a thin glaze on the cookies.
All the recipes come with a step by step instructions and pictures of the preparation.
With simple gadget like a pastry tamper 
, the author's steps will get you started on making tartlets in your muffin pans.

Egg Malai Masala

  Egg Malai Masala  Its fun when things turn out as they should. I pureed the onions and then cooked them well. I added the milk for the egg Malai Masala and made chicken curry with other half of the onion base. I used kasoori methi in both. Many times I have felt the onions grainy, but this time I got it right. Patience.

Cuban Bread

So you should already know the sweet and breadrolls book if you have already read of the popovers. I have planned on making bread for a long time. A detour of popovers and finally I'm aqui. From the same book, I tried this Cuban bread and enjoyed making the slits in the bread. Like a surgeon. I still have to get the proofing right. The actual recipe reading takes place in real time. I was reading about the bread on the web and when I came across the lines about how it is different from a French bread in that it is left to rise after shaping the loaf, I was worried that my Cuban bread would lose its nationality. Turns out that I hadnt progressed that far into the recipe. The Best American travel writing 2008 Khubz al arabi
