Professional Baking

It's been a while since I've posted and I apologize for the neglect. As any collegiate student knows, life can get overwhelmingly busy, especially when you're in your last semester of university. But now I'm done with classes (until grad school, at least) and I can shift my focus to a different type of learning: the culinary arts.

When my parents bought me the bible of all baking instruction books for Christmas, I knew I had hit gold. The book, Professional Baking (5th Edition, by Wayne Gisslen) is a masterful textbook of everything you need to know about becoming a professional. So this semester, I'm not going to be in school, per se; but I'm taking it upon myself to treat this book as a university course unto itself. I may be done with undergrad, but I'm not done learning - not in the slightest!

Prepare yourselves, readers. This blog is back and with a new face, ready for new food adventures in Montreal. And more importantly, with this book, I'm going to explore the depths of my culinary capabilities. The new student within me starts learning... NOW!

As always, happy eating! :)

PS - I should probably add that Nikhil is no longer part of this blog! Sorry Nix, I love you but you failed to pull your weight so I'm kicking you out!! Maybe he'll make a surprise guest appearance every now and again...
