Yesterday in the morning we started to make our stock, which is a white chicken stock and needs 3-4 hours, so we are finishing it today and then reducing it! We also made Italian bread, and kneading the dough was so much fun! Then we let it rise in a warm place! We went on to fill our pastry cases with a bacon and leek flan, which when it came out was great, although Michael said that it could have done with another few minutes on the blind baking! The bread was good but also could have done with another minute to crisp the crust!
In the afternoon we had a dem on meringues, and got to see what it was like to whisk it by hand, and how machine is always better! We got to taste a meringue roulade which was nice but had too much coconut in it! The we also tried a lemon meringue pie which was really nice! We saw what meringues that we slightly overcooked looked like as well, which was interesting to see!
