It’s been one month since I took the Food And Nutrition 12 class. We made a lot of food every day and we have fun. It is always the most relaxing and exciting class of my whole day and I’ve learned a lot!!! The lab I want to reflect the most is the Biscotti and Lattes. Because it was the first product I made with my new group and we had a lot of fun. Angel thought that the color of the biscotti looked like some kind of animal called ‘Macaco’ in Spanish, so he called ‘Macaco’, which has a very strange but funny pronunciation. Then we all started to call it ‘Macaco’. This is a joke that only we can get, hahaha.
This lab is not very hard. Here is the mise-en-place:

I cut the almonds and washed some bowls. We used an electric whisker to combined the butter and other solid ingredients, I tried it, it was heavy and after about 2 minutes I was exhausted, Sofia helped me with it, she’s a very nice person. And Daniel and angel helped us to shape the dough, which was not very good looking. Anyway, cooperation plays a very important part in the teamwork, I think a person can do anything if he is in an organized group. In our group, whenever someone has a problem, others always help him or her, so we didn’t have any problem at all.
THat’s how we cut it (poor Macaco……):

The next day Ryan and Sofia cut it and we tasted it with the hot chocolate and coffee we made. It was not as sweet as I thought before, because it was my first time to eat the biscotti. And the coffee was great but I thought the biscotti should be had together with something sweeter than Mocha. So, if I do it next time, I may put a little more sugar in it and have it with a sweeter drink. But it’s always good to eat the food you made by yourself, so it had a good taste in my opinion.
Here are the final products:

And the coffee:

YUMMY~
