So, we’ve been covering healthy food options for the past several weeks, but what about the balance of which I I so often speak? Life is meant to be lived to the fullest, which means sometimes treating yourself. Note, I said sometimes, not all the time. How about we split the difference between healthy and not so healthy and make the pastries we all like to eat?! The Culinary Institute of America also offers a video lecture series called The Everyday Gourmet: Baking Pastries and Desserts. In this six, thirty minute video series, Chef Stephen L. Durfee reviews:
Basic doughs
Methods for cakes
Pies and biscuits
Cream puffs
Custards
Mousse and dessert sauces
If this doesn’t encourage you to get cooking from scratch, I don’t know what will. Again, this lecture series can be purchased through Amazon or The Great Courses, or rented from various libraries.
