April 21st 2018: Cambridge School of Culinary Arts

The Cambridge School of Culinary Arts was holding an open house today, so we decided to go check it out. As can be expected, there were tons of delicious hors d'oeuvres to be had.

There was a demonstration on how to make gnocchi,

where we were allowed to participate, rolling the dough,

then cutting it up into small pieces.

The dough pieces were then placed on an interesting gadget called a gnocchi board

and rolled off using a thumb before putting them into a pot.

The instructor seemed to put a lot of salt everywhere, but somehow the final product was just perfect.

The next demonstration was on making macarons. After making the shells,

It was time to put on the cream, indenting the shells first

Sinful though. Glad my other half figured out where she went wrong making macarons.
