Mi primer intento de mi primer curso de cocina escolar. Fron Chef Bachour Matcha, Calamansi y pastel de té yuzo. No pude encontrar puré de calamansi ni zumo de yuzu. Probé a hacer un puré de piel de naranja y lima con su zumo. Utilicé un limón y una lima para la mousse y el bizcocho de matcha como la receta de la clase. El bizcocho salió bien, la mousse estaba bien, pero necesitaba un sabor más definido. El falso calamansi estaba horrible. La textura estaba bien, el sabor muy áspero y amargo… puse demasiado dióxido de titanio en el glaseado, así que no era exactamente el color que quería, pero por lo demás estaba bien. Como cocinero casero, creo que me ceñiré a recetas con ingredientes más fáciles de conseguir.
My first try from my first schoolinary course. Fron Chef Bachour Matcha, Calamansi and yuzo tea cake. Couldn’t find Calamansi puree or yuzu juice locally. I tried pureeing orange and lime skins with their juice. Used a lemon and lime for the mousse and the matcha sponge as the recipe in the class. The sponge came out fine, the mousee was ok, but needed more defined flavor. The faux Calamansi was Aweful. Texture was fine, flavor very harsh and bitter.. i put too much titanium dioxide in the glaze, so not exactly the color i was going for, but otherwise it was fine. As a home chef, i think i will stick to recipes with more readily available ingredients.

Para ser la primera inmersión en tu primer curso de Scoolinary, definitivamente no elegiste el camino fácil. Ese trío de sabores de matcha, calamansi y yuzu es complicado incluso cuando tienes los ingredientes exactos, así que respeto el hecho de que improvisaras con lo que pudiste encontrar. Pero también has demostrado que puedes adaptarte, solucionar problemas y aun así terminar el plato, que es una habilidad que todo buen chef casero necesita. ¡Buen trabajo!

For a first dive into your first Scoolinary course, you definitely didn’t choose the easy road. That flavor trio of matcha, calamansi, and yuzu is tricky even when you have the exact ingredients, so I respect the fact you improvised with what you could find. But you’ve also proven you can adapt, troubleshoot, and still finish the dish, which is a skill every good home chef needs. Great work! 👌

Great job for your first attempt at the course!
I think it’s fantastic that you dared to improvise with alternative ingredients, even if the result of the “fake calamansi” wasn’t quite what you expected. The glaze looks beautiful, and the cake’s cross-section has an impeccable presentation.
Do you plan to try it again once you get your hands on yuzu or calamansi to compare the flavors?
Thank you for sharing your experience and photos I’m sure many of us will also learn from your trials and adjustments. -
Thank you Sussan! . I am going to try again. I found a food service provider about an hour from me that has the Calamansi purée. I am going to take a trip and pick it up..
Next weekends project!😊

It’s a good effort, especially for your first try. It actually looks spectacular. I too have the challenge of finding authentic ingredients for some of the Peruvian dishes in my courses, which is a little frustrating.

Thank you for your kind words!
I don’t know if you are in the US, but if yes, there is a very small company in Maine, that carries some odd ingredients in small packages. I just purchased 2 ounces of Ultra-Tex 8 and 7 ounces of Dextrose powder. Been buying pectin nh, and super agar from them for years. Modernistpantry.com
