**********

Learned to make Choux (pronounced as "Shoe") Pastry on Sat. It was a partially hands on class and took all 6 hours to complete the class. Cost $80 and totally worth it. We were taught to make 4 pastries: 1. Durian Puff 2. Chocolate Eclairs 3. Polo Puff 4. Churros They all belong to the choux pastry family though so their recipes were all very similar. Pictures below. Anyways, for more information about Baking Class, go to http://www.creativeculinaire.com/

I just realised that I forgot to take pictures of the Taiwanese Polo Puffs. It is really a pity cos they came out really pretty too. Well, I would have to post them next time I make them then.
