  1. Rob,

    Thank you in advance for already finding a wonderful location and venue for the workshop.  I'll be driving from AR if I can help in any way.  Like others mentioned, there was a shortage of tools/equipment at the last workshop so good to know the venue has enough AND the Selmi/enrober.  I actually do like having someone with a well thought out instructive class be it the MC or whatever.  Doubt Elbow would make it, but he would be fantastic to learn from.

  2. As usual I'm late to the party on Egullet. First, cant believe Ruth is missing the trip. You are the reason I ever started attending. You will be missed.

    Our only experience with dining in NOTL is treadwell. It was delicious. 

    We arrive in Toronto on Wednesday (Nancy's Birthday) and will make our way over on Friday in time for the bar class.

     

    We will have a car to shuttle if needed by anyone.

     

    I do wish everyone used their real name on egullet. I read all these posts and always wonder who is posting..lol. 

     

    Looking forward to the workshop.

    I've researched how to use Mycryo to temper chocolate, but I'd like to find out what your experiences have been.  Does it work well?  Does it ensure a good quality temper? 

    I produce a very large amount of different flavor Toffees each year.  I have tempering machines for milk and dark chocolate, but not white.  I find Mycryo allows someone not as highly trained to be able to handle tempering white chocolate for my Macadamia/White Chocolate Toffee.  This is important as I'm about the only person who can actually temper chocolate without using a machine and it frees me to do other things.  It does (as Chocolat mentioned), have  times it doesn't blend well for whatever reason.  Because I'm making Toffee, it isn't that big a deal.  It still tempers.

    From the peppermint patties thread, I made the epicurious recipe to see how they would come out. I usually make Greweling's fondant and flavor it with mint but it can be a little too chalky sometimes. These were very easy to make, had a great texture once dried, but were a little too sweet and you can taste the confectioner's sugar. But, covered in dark chocolate, they make a very nice mint. Thanks for looking!

    I also use Grewling's recipe and love using the fresh mint as opposed to peppermint oil.  Everyone loves these things.  Myself included.

  5. Melissa kindly sent me the recipe for Gianduja Delice. 

    It is in French so I'll translate what I can.
