Iron Chef Prep

Well I was invited to join a team for an Iron Chef competition that is going to take place in school. I am a bit excited, I had to submit a final sheet on what I am presenting on the actual date. So on the menu would be:-
1) Dessert soup with a tangy citrus curd and strusel bottom
2) Pop'ems with raspberry sauce
3) Mini coffeecakes

It is going to be a trio displaying different ways to present the secret ingredient. So I have to come up a time sheet planning every half hour of my four hours. It is going to be fun. My mind is just running on what the damn secret ingredient is going to be.

For the time being I have to get some practice in before the real thing. So I have been working on my dessert soup, the first attempt was not really successful. I originally wanted to put a mousse instead of the curd but the mousse was not giving the tang I want so I changed to a curd instead. I will do the coffeecake pastry later in the week.

Oh plus I have pastry shop management to look at I have to try a brownie recipe, to find the yield and my food pictures are going up in school. Oh um.

Lastly I would like to thank the followers for the comments....duly noted.

  1. Entirely trilling blog entry, will the iron chef thing allow for spectators?

    Also this baking against a clock is going to be one of the more difficult things you may have to do.

    And congrats on the posting of your pictures in school, and wishing you success in your continued foray in to the food pron area of photography.
