Great course but missing some parts
Great course, but incomplete information. In the panettone log, the recipe says ginger water for the whipped ganache. However, neither the step by step recipe or the video mentions it. Is recipe right without the water? In another recipe, the santa mailbox, part of the assembly is missing in the video.
