French Food At (my friend's) Home

I cooked three-course meal for my friends, UW & MT. Here's a photo of "salmon en croute" avec "ratatouille" :) I didn't make my own puff pastry dough... Shame on me! *LOL*

Here's today's main feature: soufflé orange... sans grand marnier. It was supposed to be "au", not "sans" but we had a surprise guest who can't have any alcohol, so I made a small change to the recipe. The souffles puffed up quite nicely, which made me very happy - and relieved. (Huge thanks to GP for being my guinea pig the other day!)

Braided Bread

We made some fancy braided breads at school. Braiding bread dough strands is fun but quite hard and confusing...

Thanks Lydia for taking these photos for me!

Cheese Straws

This week for me at school was all about puff pastry. I made turnovers, strudels, sausage rolls, etc... and cheese straws.

Lots of grated cheddar cheese between puff layers. Parmesan cheese/paprika mixture made these cheese straws look kinda like Christmas candy canes :)
