Your Tasks:

You are required to complete all questions and tasks for this assignment.

1. A) Describe the following dishes with in at least 50 words.


Provide 1 menu example with a recipe card listed below, listing the production steps for each of the
following types of dessert.
Include an appropriate garnish and a different sauce or accompaniment (if applicable) for each dessert in
the table below.

Tart:
A tart is a baked dish consisting of a filling over a pastry base with an open top not covered with
pastry. The pastry is usually shortcrust pastry; the filling may be sweet or savoury, though
modern tarts are usually fruit-based, sometimes with custard.
Crème brûlée:
Crème brûlée is a rich custard topped with caramelized sugar. At its most basic, creme brulee is a
creamy, pudding-like, baked custard with a brittle top of melted sugar that cracks when you gently
tap it with a spoon. The custard is made with heavy cream, eggs, sugar, and vanilla.
Ice cream:
Ice-cream is a soft, sweet frozen food made with milk and cream and typically flavoured with vanilla,
fruit, or other ingredients
Fritters:
In the United States, fritters are apple pastries made with a primary ingredient that is mixed with an
egg and milk batter and either pan-fried or deep-fried; wheat flour, cornmeal, or a mix of the two may
be used to bind the batter. "Corn fritters" are often made with whole canned corn and are generally
deep-fried.
Sabayon:
A sabayon is made by beating egg yolks with a liquid over simmering water until thickened and
increased in volume. (The liquid can be water, but champagne or wine is often used for a
savoury sabayon.)
Pudding:
Pudding characteristically denotes a sweet milk-based dessert similar in consistency to egg-based
custards, instant custards or a mousse, often commercially set using corn-starch, gelatine or similar
collagen agent
Soufflé:
A soufflé is a baked dish with a flavourful base mixed with beaten egg whites. When baked, air
bubbles in the egg whites expand, puffing the soufflé up over the top of the dish. The name for this
signature French dish is a derivative of the French verb “souffler,” which means “to blow” or “to
inflate.”
Fruit pie:
Fruit Pies have whole or sliced fruits combined with sugar and a starch thickener. Examples: Apple,
cherry, blueberry, and peach. Fluted Edges are ridged edges made with the times of a fork or with
your thumbs and index finger.
Bavarois:
Bavarois is a type of set cream made from custard, whipped cream and gelatine. The texture of
bavarois is like that of dessert mousse

Canterbury Business College
CRICOS Code – 01899K RTO Code - 6554
Crêpes:
Traditional French crepes are made up of simple ingredients such as flour, milk or water, eggs, and
salt then frequently they'll also include butter or oil, and vanilla. No leavening agent (like baking soda
or baking powder) is required, these are a wafer thin, flat and delicate pastry.
Mousse:
Mousse is a moulded chilled dessert made with sweetened and flavoured whipped cream or egg
whites and gelatine chocolate mousse.

Limeade concentrate Frozen 1 (6-ounce) can
Corn starch Flour 1 tablespoon
Lime juice Squeezed 1 tablespoon
Sugar Granulated ¼ cup
Cream Whipped 1 spray bottle

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.


2. For the crust: In a food processor, combine the confectioners' sugar, flour, and butter, and process until
the mixture forms a ball. With your fingers, press the dough into a 12-inch tart pan with a removable
bottom, taking care to push the crust into the indentations in the sides. Pat until the crust is even. Bake
for 10 to 12 minutes, until very lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
3. For the filling and topping: Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together until smooth. Spread
over the cooled crust. Cut the strawberries into 1/4-inch slices and arrange around the edge of the
crust. For the next circle, use kiwi slices. Add another circle of strawberries, filling in any spaces with
blueberries. Cluster the raspberries in the centre of the tart.
4. For the glaze: Combine the limeade, corn starch, lime juice, and sugar in a small saucepan and cook
over medium heat until clear and thick, about 2 minutes. Let cool. With a pastry brush, glaze the entire
tart. You will not use all of the glaze.
5. Keep the tart in the refrigerator. Remove about 15 minutes before serving. Slice into 8 wedges and
serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Cinnamon Ground ½ teaspoon
Nutmeg Fresh grated ¼ teaspoon
Egg Yolk 6 pieces
Pecan Fresh 18 pieces
Cream Whipped 1 spray bottle
Raspberry Fresh 6 pieces
Mint spring Fresh 6 pieces
Sugar Icing 3 tablespoons

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Put six 8-ounce ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet or in a large,
shallow baking dish.
2. For the custard: Put the heavy cream, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons light brown
sugar, the cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring
occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the cream comes to a bare simmer. Meanwhile, whisk
together the egg yolks, 2 tablespoons of the remaining granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of the
remaining light brown sugar in a medium bowl.
3. Slowly whisk the hot cream into the egg yolk mixture. Strain the custard into a pitcher or large
measuring cup. Divide the custard evenly among the ramekins. Place the baking sheet in the oven,
then carefully add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until the
custards are just set at the sides and still wobbly in the center, about 30 minutes. Remove the ramekins
from the water and let cool completely on a wire rack, about 30 minutes. Leave the oven on.
4. For the garnish: While the custards cool, spread the pecans on a baking sheet and bake until they are
brown and toasty-smelling, about 10 minutes. Whip the cream in a medium bowl until soft peaks form.
5. To assemble: Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar evenly over the tops of the custards.
Using a kitchen torch, cook the tops until the sugar melts and turns deep amber. Allow the sugar to
harden, about 2 minutes. Top each creme brulee with a dollop of whipped cream, 3 pecans, a fresh
raspberry and a mint sprig, if using. Dust with some icing sugar and serve.

Method:

1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and put a large baking sheet in to heat up. Put the plums, sugar
and cloves in a pan. Simmer until the sugar dissolves and the plums are juicy, 8-10 mins. Mix the
cornflour with a little of the juice, then mix well into the fruit. Boil for a few mins, stirring, until thickened.
2. For the custard, blend the yolks and sugar. Heat the milk, cream and vanilla in a pan until almost
boiling, then gently pour onto the egg mix, whisking constantly. Return to a clean pan and heat gently,
stirring, until the mix thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Cool quickly, then chill. Custard can be
made up to a day ahead and gently reheated.
3. Roll out two-thirds of the pastry on a floured surface. Use to line a pie dish, letting the pastry hang over
the edges a little. Fill with the plums. Roll out remaining pastry, about 2.5cm bigger than the dish, then
drape over the plums. Pinch edges together well, then make a small hole in the top. Brush with egg
and sprinkle with sugar. Can be assembled up to 1 day ahead. Place on the hot baking sheet. Bake for
25-30 mins until golden brown, and serve hot with the custard. Edible flowers and dust with icing sugar

5. Yeast and its relevance for producing yeast goods.


Provide an overview of:
 How does yeast work in principle? What is its role in the bread-making process?
Natural aeration: This refers to the principle of pantry fermentation by yeast (carbon dioxide
production). This is also referred to as leavening. The yeast uses glucose contained within the
flour to bud and multiply during this process. Carbon dioxide is released forming the bubbles
within the dough, making it rise. In chemical terms this means:
Sugar + Yeast = Carbon Dioxide + Ethanol (Anaerobic)

 What are the requirements for yeast to be active?


Food – in the form of sugar and starch
Warmth – ~35°C
Moisture – water or milk or other liquids

 What is the yeast activity at the following temperatures?

 1-4°C

6. Explain the following production methods for short paste including points of care:

The rub-in method


Used to achieve firm pastry bases with greater density which helps retain the shape, e.g. for a
quiche or pie base. This firm base will prevent any liquids added to the base leaking or soaking
through the paste. The process is quite simple. Mix the flour and fat until it is crumbly in texture, then
add the sugar and liquid and combine the ingredients without overworking. Wrap in cling film or
baker’s paper and rest for ~30 minutes in the fridge, pin out (baker’s term for rolling the paste) and
use. Make sure the base is not too thick (2-4mm), as it would taste doughy or be too solid. Rest the
paste again before baking.

The creaming method


Used to produce a light and airy product. There are 2 types of creaming methods, but only 1 is used for
pastries; the other is used for cakes. In the pastry method the fat and sugar are creamed together until
smooth. This is also referred to as blending and is usually done using a dough mixer with a whisk
attachment. The eggs or liquid is added gradually until it is emulsified and then the flour is worked in
quickly. If the fat and egg mixture starts to curdle, stabilize it with a small amount of flour. Whilst you
need to have good aeration you should not overwork it either, as the finished product would spread too
much.

The hot water method


Used for pies or as a lining paste for pâté en croûte. Boil the water and lard and add to the flour and
salt. Work quickly into a paste and use while hot. It has a firmer texture and will contain pie ingredients
within a mold. This is the traditional pastry used for raised pork pies.

7. Provide the ingredients and ratios of ingredients for the following pastes:

8. What is Danish Paste? How is it produced? Provide the production steps for 4 different varieties of
Danish pastries:

Description for Danish Paste


Danish is a rich paste that uses a base of flour, yeast and milk, mixed and kept cold to retard the
yeast and to control prove. The butter is worked into a block with some flour to stabilize it and then
rolled out. Both bases need to have the same texture and the internal temperature should not rise
above 22°C. The butter mixture is enveloped into the paste using 3 single turns. The production of
Danish differs from puff paste, as the gluten needs less development to keep the Danish light, due
to the natural aeration. The ingredients have to be kept cold to prevent the yeast from developing
too quickly. When laminating the paste, roll it evenly without too much pressure to prevent any
butter from squeezing out and to form even layers. When proving the product keep the proves
temperature below 28°C to prevent the butter from melting.

prevent any butter from squeezing out and to form even layers. When proving the product keep the
prover temperature below 28°C to prevent the butter from melting. To finish, all Danishes shapes
are brushed with egg wash, proven and baked, then finished with apricot glaze and fondant.
Production steps for 4 different Danish Pastries
1. Tivoli
Roll paste to 3-4mm thickness and cut into 10cm squares. Pipe some pastry cream
diagonally across. Fold one side up and brush with egg yolk, fold up the other side and
overlap. Place apricot halves or other fruit on top of the exposed pastry cream. You can tie
a small strip of paste around the middle
2. Windmills
Roll paste to 3-4mm thickness and cut into 10cm squares, then make 3cm cuts from each
corner towards the centre. Fold one side of the cut towards the middle and repeat for the
other 3 cuts
3. Bear paws
Roll paste and cut into 2 strips roughly 25cm by 40cm. Spread filling in centre then brush
edges with egg wash and fold over. Cut into 3-4cm strips and cut out wedges
4. Snail
Roll paste to 3-4mm thickness and cut into 30cm squares. Spread a thin layer of custard
over it, sprinkle with sultanas, roll up into cylinder similar to a Swiss roll and cut into 2cm
thick pieces. Put onto a greased tray with the cut side down.

9. Explain processes which helps puff pastry to rise? How is this done correctly? Which techniques and
combinations should be used?

Puff pastry is made by stretching and folding a paste repeatedly. The rise is achieved by lamination
and the steam created during baking. Lamination refers to the rolling and folding of a paste so that a
laminated structure is obtained. A single turn means that the rolled pastry sheet is folded over by one
third, then folded again to create 3 layers. A double turn means that both sides are brought into the
centre and then folded together so it resembles a book, resulting in 4 layers. You should not do more
than the number of turns given above, otherwise the layering will be destroyed and less rise will occur.
Always rest the paste after rolling, to prevent shrinkage and relax the gluten. Frozen puff paste stores
very well and freezing helps to set the layers.
Roll the paste evenly to about 2-3cm thickness at each turn. If you pin it out any thinner you may
squeeze out the butter in the process and the product will not rise as well. Dust the paste very lightly,
as excessive flour will interfere with the baking process. Roll into a rectangle with straight sides for
evenness and remove any surplus flour in between turns.
Each time you complete a turn, mark the paste by indenting it slightly with your fingers. Make a single
indentation for each single turn and a double indentation for each double turn. For each new turn you
must repeat the previous set of indentations and add a new indentation for the last turn.

14. What are the potential implications for customers who suffer from the following food allergies? What are
the legal implications for you as a chef if you fail to follow instructions for ingredients and preparation,
where you fail to ensure these are being met?

Allergy Implications

Gluten Gluten intolerance and Coeliac disease are


intestinal disorders in which the body reacts
badly to gluten, a protein component in grains
such as wheat, rye and barley. Gluten-free
alternatives such as corn, rice, soy, tapioca and
potato flours are good substitutes. Be aware of
hidden gluten in items such as soy sauce, beer,
condiments, small goods, etc.

MSG Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavour


enhancer which can cause a sensitivity reaction.
Foods containing MSG should be avoided and
natural flavourings used instead.

Nuts Many people, especially children, are sensitive


to nuts. Nuts can cause severe reactions which
can result in anaphylactic shock. If not treated
quickly and correctly, anaphylactic shock can
result in death.

Eggs The proteins in egg whites can cause immune


reactions, particularly in children. Severe
reactions can result in anaphylaxis.

Lactose Lactose is a sugar common in dairy items such


as milk. Many adults develop some form of
intolerance. People who are not exposed to
dairy early in childhood usually have a higher
chance of having lactose intolerance. If lactose
is not correctly processed by the stomach, it will
pass through the digestive tract until bacteria
digest it and create gas, which can cause
abdominal pains, cramps and other symptoms.
Alternatives such as sheep’s milk or goat’s milk
are often used, or milk products which have the
enzyme lactase added to break down the
lactose

Salicylates Natural plant hormones, which are found


especially in the skins of vegetables and fruit, as
well as spices. Salicylates can provoke a range
of reactions, including stomach problems

Histamine A compound found naturally in some foods,


such as tomatoes, as well as processed items
such as cheese and wine. Chocolate and citrus

CBC-SITHPAT006- CCC019-A-V2021.1 Page 28 of 38


Canterbury Business College
CRICOS Code – 01899K RTO Code - 6554

fruits can also cause problems. Stomach


reactions, migraines and anaphylaxis can occur
as a result of histamine intolerance

Legal Implications
Always consider the effects on the individuals, as an incorrectly prepare menu item could cause
severe distress and adverse health effects. Furthermore, the legal implications as any injury or
pain caused could lead to claims and associated costs to the enterprise and the chef personally.
Whilst there are statutory minimums under the Civil Liability Act in personal injury cases, the chef
could expose his employer to liability with the employer being vicariously liable for the chef’s
negligent act. The employer may then have recourse against the employee, depending on the
circumstances and intent of the employee.
As a general guideline we must not prepare or serve a meal for customer with a specific condition
if we are unsure about the exact requirements. Customer with a critical dietary requirements will
usually provide a list from a dietitian or medical practitioner which will clearly specify which food or
ingredients that must be voided, if we are then unsure, we need to consult with the immediate
supervisor.

15. Explain the following production methods for fruit-based sauces and explain the economic advantages
and cost factors for the different methods:

Production process Method and economical or cost factors

Jam process Simple process in which you cover the fresh or


frozen fruit with sugar, add any desired spices like
cinnamon or star anise and let the fruit soak.
Bring the mixture to the boil and cook until the fruit
is tender. Push through a sieve and pour into a
sterilised container to prevent the development of
unwanted moulds or bacteria. This sauce has
excellent shelf life and can therefore be prepared
when fruit is abundant and cheap.

Fresh blending process Mix the fruit and simply crush it for a rougher,
chunkier, salsa style texture, or blend it with icing
sugar and strain for a smooth finish. Citrus juice,
alcohol and spices can be added for variation and
to highlight or support flavours. This type of sauce
will have a fresh flavour, but will lose its fresh
taste quickly and should only be produced in
small quantities

Stock syrup process For instant fresh sauces you can also blend any
fruit with stock syrup. This sauce will last longer
than a sauce based on icing sugar. This process
can also be adapted similar to the jam process,
where the syrup is boiled with the fruit, citrus juice
and cinnamon to 105°C, then strained and poured
into sterilised containers. Stock syrup will provide

CBC-SITHPAT006- CCC019-A-V2021.1 Page 29 of 38


Canterbury Business College
CRICOS Code – 01899K RTO Code - 6554

a sweeter flavour and should be used for frozen


or less ripe fruit.

16. What are the production methods for the following variations of custard-based sauces?

Sauce Production method

Anglaise based Fresh Anglaise mixture is produced, strained and then served on the side
of desserts. If it is to be used warm it might be stabilised with corn flour or
a small amount of custard powder as the starch will prevent the mixture
from splitting. If keeping it in a bain-marie make sure it is suspended above
the heat and keep the temperature at ~80°C otherwise the protein will
solidify, appearing as specks in the sauce

Custard based Boil the milk and sugar, add the diluted custard powder and bring the
mixture to the boil. Take care not to burn it on the bottom. Strain the sauce
and store with a cartouche or coating of icing sugar on the top to prevent
the forming of skin. This sauce will also keep in the bain-marie and is
cheaper to produce. It is often used for bulk catering. Use 10-12% starch to
liquid, depending on the thickness of the required end product. Custard
base sauces can be varied by adding flavours such as brandy, chocolate
or hazelnut

17. What is a sabayon? How is a sabayon produced?

Description for sabayon Production steps


Sabayon is a mixture of egg yolk, alcohol and All sabayon styles apply the same principles of
flavourings. For sweet sabayon, sugar or honey is whipping the yolks or eggs with the sugar and
used as flavouring. It is a foam base originally liquid over a water bath until a firm froth is

19. What are the key aspects which should be considered for decorating and portioning desserts? Which
rules commonly apply?

Decoration and presentation of desserts is extremely important to customers, who often perceive
desserts as decadent and celebratory. Decoration can be as simple as dusting icing sugar over the
dessert or onto the plate.
In most cases the desired outcome is a combination of colour, height, flavour and texture to highlight
certain aspects of desserts. Fresh fruit, tuiles, chocolate shavings and toasted nuts or praline add
interest and appeal. Remember that the garnish needs to complement the dish and its key ingredient.
The latter aspect is very important when adding spices or herbs, as a cinnamon quill or too much
vanilla can potentially cover the taste and aroma of the main ingredient, e.g. in a dessert using apples,
pears or quinces.
Sauces are also used extensively to either add colour, e.g. a raspberry coulis; or richness, e.g. a
vanilla sauce. Sauces are also used effectively for feathering and other presentation-enhancing
techniques.
When portioning desserts it is important to know correct portion sizes and the cost impacts. Serving
size depends on the enterprise and location. In the country you often serve larger portions and more
hearty desserts. For degustation menus you have small portions with interesting variations or flavours.
In general a mousse or Bavarian cream will be 80-100g per serve. Cakes can be larger at ~200g per
serve. Ice cream varies between 100-200g depending on the type of ice cream and its
accompaniments. Using a total serving size of 750-1000g for a 3-course meal or degustation is useful

CBC-SITHPAT006- CCC019-A-V2021.1 Page 32 of 38

for judging the size of individual portions sizes.

20. You are preparing for service of desserts. Which aspects should you consider for the following key
points? For each point provide 1 example of how this can be achieved using some of your menu
examples as a reference.

Key focus Considerations Applications


Colour
Consider the colour of the key item e.g. Bavarian Use filigree or pastry for height
cream which may be white, brown or slightly and colour variation. Use fresh
coloured with fruit purée. Colours can also be fruit or coulis and sauces to add
combined within the one dish e.g. avocado and colour accents

colours

Texture
What is the desired texture of the dish and would Use of crumble on top of a fruit
it be improved if a contrasting texture is added i.e. filling, wafers with ice cream,
crunchy versus smooth sesame seed wafers with brûlée

Flavour
Flavours combined on the plate should either be Chocolate Bavarois with raspberry

cocoa sauce

Height
Dishes that show height create a sense of Using nougatine to envelop
expectation and guide the eye. Height can be orange parfait, form chocolate

21. Provide 5 suggestions for measures to minimise wastage in pastry production including provisions for
the use of reusable products:

Provisions to minimise wastage


 Sift ingredients where possible to prevent contamination issues
 Remove required amounts from storage areas and use clean, sanitised utensils to remove
ingredients from storage vessels
 Measure ingredients according to recipe requirements and follow the instructions closely
 Ensure that the required utensils and equipment is prepared prior to starting the actual preparation
process (including oven settings, prover etc)
 Fresh yeast-based products taste inferior on the second day and product should be made freshly.
It may also be frozen in the raw state for future use.

22. You have prepared a selection of different desserts, pastries, cakes and yeast goods. How would you
present these for sale for individual servings, as part of function/buffet or on display?
Which principles for presentation must be considered? Provide a detailed overview of the hygiene,
handling and storage requirements (including labelling) for all types of desserts, sauces, cakes pastries
and preparations. Consider the production processes, as well as display and sale, including packaging
for take-away provisions:

Individual Serving:
In a restaurant, most dishes will be served on plates or in bowls. There is a wide variety available and
dishes should be chosen to complement the style of the restaurant and the individual menu items. The
plate should be chosen so that it suits the overall presentation of the dish
Serving from the display:
In a patisserie, whole pastries or individual serves may be placed on display for customers to choose from.
Cake stands, platters, boards and other display items may be used to enhance the presentation of the
dish.
Pastry items may be served as part of a petits fours selection. The presentation of petits fours will depend
on the occasion and service style. For an accompaniment with coffee, usually a selection of biscuits and
small baked items is served. A large hotel with a pastry kitchen will likely offer these as part of a selection
usually including delicate small tartlets, etc.
Function / buffet:
For high tea, petits fours may also be offered as a varied selection of all types on a tiered stand for each
table, or if served as part of a buffet, different varieties will be available separately on large platters or
mirrors. For sweet buffets this would include showpieces on each platter, glass or crystal ware.
It is important to ensure an appealing flow and design when arranging these. This would include a
variation of shapes, consistencies and colours arranged to highlight contrasts and textures. Other creative
options for arranging pastry items for buffets may include showpieces used for display made from tulip
paste and chocolate.

CRICOS Code – 01899K RTO Code - 6554
Modern presentations use piping or drizzles of sauce and structures made of pastry or chocolate to
provide extra height and colour. Simple technique such as spooning sauce on and then swirling it slightly
with a spoon are used to provide an extra twist.
Asymmetrical presentation are becoming more popular, with items separated on the plate to distinguish
them but at the same time connected by the sauce or other ingredients such as crushed nuts or tiny
meringues. This is often combined with impressive plates or dishes to give more interesting presentation.
Hygiene, handling and storage requirements
1. It is best to have a separate refrigerate storage area for all pastry products. As it is important to
prevent cross-contamination from other food items and also because the cream in many items
absorbs strong smells easily.
2. Some general rules for storing pastries and pastry products:
 Perishable items e.g. dairy products should be kept between 0-5C
 Be aware of the danger zone and apply relevant temperature controls, e.g. pies at
temperature of 65C
 Soft and ripe fruit should be refrigerated
 Opened cans, jars and buckets must be well-sealed and are best stored in the cool room
 Semi-perishable items such as couverture and marzipan have to be checked for use by date
and rotated when new stocks comes in – use FIFO principles
 Dry ingredients should be stored away from heat and moisture
3. Labelling is a very important step as it will ensure that FIFO principles are followed and it also
helps to monitor the lifespan of your products. Using labels is an ideal way to be organised and to
remember what was done and when. This applies to everything from simple labels, such as a
sticker stating: Anglaise, 18/06/14, J. Peterson, up to full nutritional labels required for bulk
cooking and distribution.
4. Refrigerated units are used for any items containing cream and/or custard and the temperature
must not exceed 5°C. These units keep perishable items below the danger zone and protect the
product from dust, bacteria and viruses (e.g. from sneezing) and accidental spills. The cabinets
have to be emptied at the end of the day, cleaned and sanitised before any product is returned.
Check for iced-up refrigeration cells.

Closed-in units house dry varieties of pastry products. The storage time should not exceed 2 hours and
they have to be emptied at the end of the day, cleaned and sanitised before any product is stored the next
day. Any leftover items have to be refrigerated.

23. Describe the cookery methods, menu examples and processes involved in producing desserts?

Boiling This cooking technique involves submerging food in water that has been heated to the
boiling point of 212 degrees Fahrenheit. The boiling water produces large bubbles,
which keep foods in motion while they cook. The expression slow boil means that the
water has just started to produce large, slow-moving bubbles but is not quite heated
to the boiling temperature. A full boil occurs at the boiling point and results in fast-
moving, rolling bubbles. Steam is also released from the water as it boils.
Classic chocolate mousse, custards, boiled pudding.

Poaching This involves a small amount of hot liquid, ideally at a temperature between 160 and
180F.
The cooking liquid is normally water, but you can also use broth, stock, milk or juice.
Common foods cooked by poaching include eggs, fruits for fruit tarts.

Stewing The food is sautéed or seared first, and then cooked in liquid, but normally uses
smaller ingredients.

CBC-SITHPAT006- CCC019-A-V2021.1 Page 35 of 38


Canterbury Business College
CRICOS Code – 01899K RTO Code - 6554
Stewed prunes, stewed and glazed figs.
Braising First the food is sauted or seared, and then simmered in liquid for a long period of
time until tender.
Wine-braised fruit desert, braised peaches with lemon meringue.
Grilling This is a fast, dry and very hot way of cooking, where the food is placed under an
intense radiant heat.
You can use various sources of heat for grilling: wood burning, coals, gas flame, or
electric heating
Grilled stuffed bananas, grilled strawberry shortcake.
Steaming This means cooking your food in water vapour over boiling water.
For this, it’s handy to have a steamer, which consists of a vessel with a perforated
bottom placed on top of another containing water.
Steam rises as the water boils, cooking the food in the perforated vessel above
Steamed pudding, steamed cake.
Roasting Roasting is basically a high heat form of baking, where your food gets drier and
browner on the outside by initial exposure to a temperature of over 500F.
This prevents most of the moisture being cooked out of the food.
Roasted pineapple and strawberry skewers with white chocolate, tropical s’mores.
Baking This involves applying a dry convection heat to your food in an enclosed environment.
The dry heat involved in the baking process makes the outside of the food go brown,
and keeps the moisture locked in.
Baking is regularly used for cooking pastries, bread and desserts
Shallow frying Food item is only immersed in fat half way through. Butter can also be used apart
from oils. The food is shallow fried in a pan.
Classic French toasts,
Deep-frying The food is immersed into hot oil, the surface of the food gets sealed by the hot oil,
thereby preserving all the moisture in it and due to temperature the moisture gets con-
verted into a steam which in turn cooks the food.
Churros, donuts, funnel cake.
