...Food & Nutrition Pastry Making Pastry Techniques Pastry is so useful. The different techniques can be used in an endless array of dishes, savory and sweet. A calm, organized approach using a cool worktop and ingredients will help produce great pastry. Work in as cool an environment as possible well away from the cooker or boiler. Kitchens are usually coolest in the mornings. Use your finger tips- the coolest part of your hands. While it helps to allow the fat to soften, before using, don't let it get too warm Sift the flour and when rubbing in the fat, lift the flour as high as possible while keeping it in the bowl- both steps will incorporate cold air which will expand once in the oven and produce light pastry. Rub until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs then stop- if you over do it, you will have tough, old pastry on your hands. Add the water gradually; you really don't want to have to add more flour after liquid. On the other hand, too little will create a dry and crumbly dough that will be hard to roll without breaking. Mixing, Rolling, Panning, Trimming and Cooking Pastry ~Make a disk -Before you chill or roll out the dough, take the time to shape in into an even disk less then an inch thick and smooth edges. Well floured hands and a well floured work surface will make this easier. This will make the dough much easier to roll out quickly and evenly and will help avoid cracking on the edges. ~ Chill the Dough -Chill the dough before you roll it...

...customer behavior. The final step typically includes the decision or implementation of the idea (Cooper & Schindler, 2011). This summary will provide a brief overview of the business research process used to launch Cutie Pies Organic Cakes. The Process Cutie Pies & Cakes had been operating for several months as a home-based business making only navy bean pies and carrot cakes. As a featured vendor at an annual food and pastry tasting festival, we experienced an overwhelming response to our products, with one exception; a request for organic pies and cakes. The first task was determining if the local pastry industry needed an organic or “all natural” presence. To our surprise we encountered many who would want to purchase organic pastries regularly. Our second task was to ascertain how many of the existing local pastry shops offered assorted organic pastries. So we set out calling hundreds of local bakeries to see how many offered organic baked goods and pastries. Detroit had very few bakeries or pastry shops that offered organically made pastries. Many of those who used organic ingredients did not taste well. The information...

...DON DON The Case of a Slovenian Gazelle This case study was written by Maja Makovec Brenčič and Monika Lisjak, Faculty of Economics, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, as a part of the Leonardo da Vinci project “Moving towards the case method”. It is intended to be used as a basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of a management situation. 1 There was an atmosphere of tension before the management meeting at DON DON headquarters on 24 February 2005. The board members and regional sales managers were impatiently waiting to discover what was on the corporate agenda of Aleš Mozetič, the cofounder and chairman of the board of directors of the DON DON company. When Mozetič, a young, charismatic, and very ambitious manager, rushed into the room, the tension reached its peak. He briefly greeted the small group of highly committed managers and then energetically started his speech: Dear colleagues, we have been in the same boat for a long time. Most of you have known the DON DON company since its earliest stages of development, when my sister and I started the business. I still remember the excitement and the enthusiasm when we returned from visiting our relatives in Canada in 1993 and announced to our parents that we would enter the doughnut business . . . and the fervour while setting up machinery for baking doughnuts in the family garage. This was followed by a phase of intense work to open the first plant in Škofja Loka...

We have turned out to be so used to this differing scope of bread, mouthwatering baked goods and cakes that from time to time we ask exactly how they appear. Let's go back in time to see what we find out. Back in medieval times bread and pies were two of the many pastries to be baked. Dr. Pennell stated that an oven was not a very common appliance in houses, that's why baking never really got into home.5 In the Middle Ages not everyone could afford a wood-burning stove. Most of the people that were able to afford these ovens were, mostly restaurants and some cafes. Those who were wealthy enough to afford one started out with bread. In the 15th centuries Britain discovered...

...Student self-study worksheet 06/01/2015 Lecturer….Mr Whitson Unit 609 Prepare and cook food by baking, roasting and grilling You are to research the following questions that relate to this unit: Q What does the word accompaniment mean? A. Something that you eat or drink with something else: A dry champagne makes the ideal accompaniment for/to this dish. List as many roasting methods as you can find A low-temperature oven, 95°C to 160°C (200°F to 325°F), is best when cooking with large cuts of meat, turkey and whole chickens. This is not technically roasting temperature, but it is called slow-roasting. The benefit of slow-roasting an item is less moisture loss and a more tender product. More of the collagen that makes meat tough is dissolved in slow cooking. At true roasting temperatures, 200°C (400°F) or more, the water inside the muscle is lost at a high rate Cooking at high temperatures is beneficial if the cut is tender enough—as in filet mignon or strip loin—to be finished cooking before the juices escape. A reason for high temperature roasting is to brown the outside of the food, similar to browning food in a pan before pot roasting or stewing it. Fast cooking gives more variety of flavour, because the outside is brown while the centre is much less done. The combination method uses high heat just at either the beginning or the end of the cooking process, with most of the cooking at a low temperature. This method produces the golden-brown texture...
