As many may know - Goûter is finally starting to move and one of our customers is in the airport. So I had a meeting with the Chef and here is the outcome. sitting at the lounge having a sit down dinner with CHAMPAGNE. I was going to do the lamb but. Classically chose THE BURGER Royalty/ famous person/ I feel posh and exclusive in the signature lounge awesome... 🙀😊- 41 replies

- Hey Boss, let's do Amsterdam this year... - Ah no can do I'm staying in Toronto for The Restaurant Show... And 3 months later - 3 suitcases, 30kg for 2 of them and 10 for the baby one here I am all grown up heading for multiple reasons To beautiful AMSTERDAM. Chocoa is the show - Eztemper is conquering the world one country at a time. But this time, my Kerry is sending me solo... Me... yes the young arrogant pastry chef you guys all may have heard about through our crazy adventures and have seen grow to being me. Well solo is a bit exaggerated I have a chaperon and a beautiful surprise. So I will do my best to fulfill the duties of posting and relating my story. Not just one... Because this trip has multiple intentions... You will see. Fingers crossed. Bare with me and enjoy - and if you have any suggestions on what I should do especially a place for a first date...(shhhhh it's a secret)

So just to make things interesting here is the recipe list for the nut class. We will limit the class to MAXIMUM 16 - there will be 7 machines hopefully to play with. Le Praline 50% Hazelnut Hazelnut Paste Gianduja - Milk Lactee Superieur peanut butter - White chocolate Zephyr and Pistachio - Hazelnut dark chocolate 54% Approach to Bean to Bar Vegan Almond Hazelnut spread It will be as hands on as possible and also tv style. But this class is the result of 2 years of work between the Ez temper crew and Premier Melangers Stay tune for the second class description

Another road trip for us as I showed up 1hr late at Kerry's door. Wasn't me - Goûter and Toronto tourist (who can't drive) made me do it. So we then drove to Patty's in Bison city. She fed us a glass of water and tea for the illish Doctor Beal. After a good chat and sharing of the bread and kouign Amanns (best in town :-)) we headed to the practical airport of Buffalo national Airport. As I was a touch hungry, at checkers I had a chicken sandwich eaten between two people slightly anti social like me. To replace the picture I will ask you to close your eyes. Don't cheat. Think of a big not juicy super dry piece of chicken tender from a place like KFC. Add some hard lettuce pieces and a whip it style mayonnaise in between a soggy pancake bun. To compare even the worst McDonald's is about 11 times better and 6$ cheaper. Time for a chip fila or in and out that make America such a reputable country (and Donald off course :-)) I just discovered the southwest seating system. It amused me especially the lack of civility amongst people. Goes back to making America such an awesome country. We are about 31 km away from the golden mile so I think today we are going to start Kerry's pre Parisian training. Subway hoping, much walking, little resting, and food because I'm a growing boy and need food. Goûter doesn't let me eat enough. Anyhow time for our continental breakfast at the club lounge 3 floors above because our spy status (which would be cool however it's SPG which is the loyalty card of Marriott customers - FYI Kerry is catching all my autocorrect typos) has not made it super elite yet hahahaha. please read in between my sarcasm I'm practising my tactful correctness please apologize for my typos and French words in advance - the society and school system made me like this (my mom is an angel and so am I lol)

Pâte de Fruits (Fruit Paste/Fruit Jellies) (Part 2)
Alleguede replied to a topic in Pastry & Baking
So pate de fruit is like the headache of confectioners. pectins now on the market you have a crap ton available (Louie Francois is for me the most reliable source) NH - is for confit, glaze, and I use this for chocolat PDFs ,.. yellow - Apple pectin based with a product that slows the setting pectine - this is ideally the one to use apple - works however sets fast - better for jams and more purees by nature contain 10% of sugar ( often invertz) cook pdf to 106c minimum acide is important even in acidic fruits. 20 g of solution per kg (citric acid 100% / hot water 100%) sugar - 110% minimum of weight of purée glucose - 20% mix the pectins and first sugar first and stir well. Let set for 20 min then start cooking i for the PDFs in bonbons reduce the amount of sugar by 30% or pectin by 30%. good luck -
Ok so question one if you can control your vacuum packing then stop it when you see the liquid rise to close to the edge. If you can you need to fill much less 50% about of the bag. You can add stuff in your vacuum machine to diminish the air content. secondly two sugar factors to take in consideration - sweetness and freezing point -100+higher freezing point sugar | 100% | 100 dextrose | 60% | 160 invert sugar | 130% | 160 glucose | 60% | 70% (if I recall correctly) so globally you need to take in consideration what scoopability and sweetness you want in your ice cream and it will define the amount of sugars you can add. At the same time you need to balance as well the solids vs the liquids (trimoline is 70% to 80 solids for 20 to 30% liquids) (glucose about 80 to 20). So invert sugar is key on recipes like chocolate, or nuts that have high fats and lesser sugar for example. You should add a bit of stabilizers as well to have a longer shelf life as the yolks are mainly the binders of the fat and water. for your ice cream, you need to churn it at 50% give or take which is a high volume spinning. Gelato is more in the 30% hope this helps a bit.

Hi I m Rodney. Picture a pineapple just ripe. Prickly outside, a pain in the ass to peel but oh so sweet. Indeed, as selfish as it seems inside joke and "teasing" was implied towards Kerry. I know she's not troubled However maybe I might have a back of the head snack able say on this :-) Right Anna! Ok goodnight lol
-
@alex yes much so inside joke... I admit working on my sarcasm is in progress however just teasing my crazy chocolate Doctor. Seems like her diet (she refus s to eat my products) is also being questioned on this trip... sounds like fun. When you coming home... You be been gone for too long. I miss you.

You could check igloo in Toronto otherwise there bacon who sells nice stuff in California. Auctions at a starting point is the way to go.

Oh I feel this might have been a bad idea - please refer to Airbnb website next time.

Chocdoc Sips in Seattle - tea drinker in a coffee culture
Alleguede replied to a topic in Food Traditions & Culture
So now that Kerry is out of battery I have to do this so bare with me on this one we went for dinner in the only restaurant we found room in... I suspect there's a reason why - so we are live at the restaurant - we also kidnapped some girl from manitoulin that apparently writes super nice things about other people's chocolate, mind you she hasn't met me yet so I have one dinner to change her to my French ways. I think she is "absolute chocolate" but I'm not really paying attention (I put my flirting game on :)) -
Chocdoc - Strutting her Stuff on the Boardwalk
Alleguede replied to a topic in Food Traditions & Culture
Who has mentioned Gordon Ramsay pub and grill at the Caesars palace Atlantic City? i just had the best burger of my life. I think I have never ever ever tasted something so blend and poorly executed of my young 35 years. Kerry's lamb shepherds pie looked minimalistically pleasant but we managed to eat and run. my advice - beuuuurrrrkkkk... -
What a bad trip to nyc! You should never return. how was the show?

What type of dish went with it? I'm surprised you didn't ask.
