Hi Adam,

We had “4 ingredient baskets” at the culinary exam in my school. Each basket had a variety of ingredients, and we had to prepare four 4-course menus per basket, write down all the recipes, and illustrate them with our own pictures.

Scoolinary helped me a lot in my preparation, from plating to learning techniques. The courses that were especially useful to me were: Basic Stocks and Broths, Plating Techniques, Olive Oil, Basic Sauces… and there was a French chef explaining chicken preparation, though I can’t remember which course that was.

A side effect was that I became more and more interested in other courses, so I ended up learning all the available Italian courses, the American Hamburgers course, and much more.

Every course added something valuable to my exam preparation.

Good Luck, Adam 🙂🙂

I love plating and play with colours on the plate however, I think that sometimes you don’t need to overdecorate because the dish with its components is the decoration itself.

Let me show you some of my plates for inspiration 🙂🙂

Well, it might be the chocolate… 🤔🤔

I should take that course, too. Chocolate and me are not really the best friends. It is not easy to work with it.

Hi, if I use oil the dough doesn’t dry out.

Hi, biga must be prepared first and you incorporate it into the dough. 🙂

I think that eclairs should be dry. If they stay in the fridge, they might be soft and wet.

It’s better eat them within one day.

In my family, it’s not a problem… 🙂🙂

Hi Richard, thank you for sharing this question.

It can be that they don’t get baked enough. It would help if you left them more time in the oven…. perhaps without opening the oven door while baking to guarantee a constant temperature.

Another idea could be to check if the oven has the right temperature for the croissants.

Let me know, if it was helpful.

Thank you, @soldamiani for calling my attention to this question.
