Tarts, Beef Stroganoff, Duck













In pastry this week, we went back to sweet short pastry - for tarts and such, with different fillings.  Earlier this week, we touched on flan caramel, and creme brulee, sorta desserts.  Tmw, we'll make some millefeuille - puff pastry! - groan!

For cuisine, we made a roast duck, however, I don't blame you if you mistook it for the Chinese soya braised duck.  It tastes quite similar too!  Actually, the color comes from caramelising, and thickened veal stock to make a sauce.  It did come out kinda crispy from the oven, but I guess you have to eat it right away.

Beef stroganoff - I always thought it to be a stew, well, apparently not, it's briefly sauteed tenderloin cubes with a savory spicy paprika cream sauce.  Delicious with pilaf rice.  The other is a picture of a warm souffle with cointreau flavoring.
