Field Trip to Pacific Culinary Arts school

Last wednesday Ms Morabito took us on a field trip to a culinary arts school because she's the best teacher I know. We got to take a tour around the school it looked like a good school. Then we got to eat a appetizers , main course lunch, and some chocolate cake for dessert. The food there was all really good my favourite was the bread and the chicken it tasted really good.

Mexicali Pizza Wheel

Last week we make a mexicali pizza wheel and it was ok. We First made a dough with flour, yeast, cornflour. Then the next day we fried our filling of meat, tomato sauce,oregano, green chilli's. After we put the filling on the dough we spread some cheese over the pizza and put it in the oven. I thought this pizza wheel tasted ok the thing i didn't like was that it tasted kind've plane like no flavour. I think this would have been better if it was spicy.

Spanish Tortilla Tarts

In baking class we made spanish Tortilla tarts which are kind've like a spanish muffin. We made a muffin batter with eggs,flour,cheese, and some green peppers. These tarts tasted good. I really enjoyed these tarts because of the cheese and the green peppers. The key do making this was to mix it only about 6-7 times otherwise your final product would have tunnels in it.

Cream Pie

In Baking class we made a cream pie. We first made the dough for the pie shell using flour, butter, water, and salt. Then we made a vanilla custard  for the filling and then we made cream by whisking egg whites and meringue power together which would go on as a topping. This cream pie was pretty good because of the vanilla custard.
