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.

Slices and Stallions

While there are books that are all about just one ingredient like Flavored oils and vinegars there are others that are about a gamut of things. Everything Pizza cookbook has recipes for all the kinds of pizza that there can be with different crusts, sauces, cheeses, toppings. Smoked Salmon Pizza, Polenta Pizza. Cooking for engineers Tasso Ham . When I read that Tasso is also the name of an Italian poet, I wanted to point to his work too. I looked for it but found it in prehistoric language. It so happens that I am reading poems about horses and recognised Tasso's name beneath his poem translated. Second paragraph has life infused in it with equine motions. Another poem that I like in this collection is 'New Foal' by Ted Hughes.

Banana pudding

I went over the roasted banana pudding recipe from yesterday and found it too consuming (shopping time, dishes, baking time), I finally decided on  caramelized banana pudding . And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard.  all purpose flour plays the corn starch  role of thickening the custard. I used  Parle G  instead of vanilla wafers.
