Lo que ayer nos tomaba horas y todo una aparataje de utensilios para la elaboración de un simple bizcocho ahora nos toma minutos y mucho menos tollo.

Hi all just yesterday I started a workshop at Escuela de Cocina Risk with Chef Maribel Risk. As some might know from previous posts I have already taken several courses at the institute such as chocolates, molecular gastronomy, sushi, enology, cakes and fondant. Many may be wondering why I’m taking another pastry course if I already know all this. The answer is quite simple, like I told a very dear friend that happened to be at the workshop last night, I have to keep updating and learning different techniques!
Sure they are the same recipes that I already have tried, tested and have even made thousands of times. I might even recite them by heart just like I would times table. But many culinary processes have changed and are now simpler. Many dishes that during the past would take us hours on end to make and not to mention the mounds of dirty dishes to clean up afterwards are now easier and less messy to make. I was able to prove to her how helpful this works shop was. We made a genoise cake out of one bowl. In the past a sponge cake would have taken me at least two bowls and having to beat the yolks with the sugar and then the fold in the whipped egg whites etc, etc, hughh I get tired just thinking about it. By the time I had finished I would end up with a few dirty bowls and at least three dirty whisks. But not last night we made everything from a single bowl! We ended up making Zuppa and a strawberry filled jelly roll which were very good and pretty too!! Till next Friday that I will post more on what we have learned at our workshop!
