Upcoming Posts for December 2011!

          I have been burning through pastry bags like it's nobody's business... so I have been looking for a solution to this issue. As Chef Training students we were taught at George Brown, but it was commonly a concept that just didn't stick. I have been using Ziploc bags as a solution, but I find that this can be equally expensive.
          So, I had to look into parchment folding and found a very useful blog that explains exactly this! Please take a look because we will be doing a lot of piping in the winter months ('tis the season for winterization).
