week 3!!!

This week we made camembert, cranberry and caramlised onion filo pastry parcels, with creme brule.what happened was, first we chopped the onions for the parcels (it made us cry alot:( )and gathered up the ingredints for the parcels.
Then we made a start on our creme brule's.It was alot more simple than we expected! It started of by heating double cream and milk it looked fatening! then we added the vamilla pods and it looked like melted ice cream. then we did this thing called bain-marie. For the bain-marie we put it in the oven for 15 minuites and when it came out it was squishy and wobbley, like it said it should be! then we put them in the fridge to cool their hot bottoms while we made the filo parcels!
the filo parels started with caramalising the onions which went well without a problem, then melting some butter ready for sticking the filo pastry together. we then put the filo pasterys together by puting 4 of the sheets in a pile then putting a slice and a half of camembert a few spoons of the onion and a bit of cranberry sauce. then we folded them up and put them in the oven.
while in the oven they exploded and the cheese went everywhere. we then - very successfully - blow torched our sugar topped creme brule.



all tasted great, but writing this was very boring. xxx
