All about Eclairs Cooking Workshop
http://ediblejourneys.com.auI came away from this class with so much more than delectable eclairs.
Elaine's passion for her craft is evident from the first minute of the class to the end. She has organized a wonderful collection of recipes and techniques. From different methods of thickening fillings, both savoury and sweet, to creating silky glazes her explanations and demonstrations were enlightening. She hadn't even started making the pastry and I could see ways that I could make use of the things she was teaching us beyond using them with eclairs. She also showed us simple ways of doing things that, at first, appeared to be difficult. These are the things that you can't learn by reading a cookbook. It was a lot of fun trying to fill and glaze the eclairs. I know I ended up a sticky mess as this was my first attempt. I'm looking forward to more practice. Thankfully, Elaine has provided a well produced collection of the recipes and tips/techniques from the class as a take home. This means I can start with something I am familiar with rather than searching the internet for the best information.
