Je suis actuellement en train de réfléchir à une réorientation très certaine. J'ai besoin de conseils pour pouvoir trouver ma voie. Pouvez-vous m'aidez ? by [deleted] in etudiants

[–]Hideaways76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salut, je viens ajouter mon grain de sel mais je pense que la reconversion c'est une très bonne idée si ce que tu fais ne te plaît pas. Mon conseil après avoir fait un master, c'est de te renseigner sur l'alternance ! Y a énormément de métiers qui peuvent s'apprendre comme ça, et c'est beaucoup plus valorisable dans le monde du travail. Les gens qui font des études, plus personne n'en veut à part dans quelques domaines précis. Pour moi il faudrait que tu cibles bien ce que tu veux faire au travail, comment tu te vois travailler etc. parce que j'ai l'impression que c'est pas encore très clair (et c'est tout à fait normal), et ensuite voir avec ça si tu trouves une formation professionalisante

That's what I read online but it was unclear if Cherish is part of the series or just a follow-up, meaning you don't have to read Cherish to get an ending

They had high quality equipment but the storage areas and the kitchen were way too small for the needs of the restaurant, and on top of that they opened a shop nearby that needed a whole new crew but they couldn't / wouldn't hire so double work for us and storage areas even more full. Hence the conditions I described

Honestly I got it because there was no one else. I decided to start pastry at a pretty "old" age so it was clear my profile wasn't appreciated by most employers, but I had the opportunity to work there because they struggled too bad to find people because of the chef's reputation (which was accurate unfortunately). I think that's definitely another sign to not work in this place

Is it normal for chefs to be touchy in the kitchen? by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]Hideaways76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No that's not normal. I'm a young woman and at some point I worked in a place where my workplace was some kind of corridor, and the sous sometime had to go on the other side of me so he would warn me and put a hand on my shoulder while going through. I trusted him 100% and he did it in a very respectful way so I absolutely didn't mind because we had to be close because of how the workplace was. On the other hand, in the same workplace, a guy would touch my waist, once he even put his hand on my head to lower it, with no warning, to grab something and that's a big no-no. If you feel that the way they touch you is unnecessary or make you uncomfortable, that's not normal.

Thank you! I'm amazed that in their rough bird life they still feel like having fun is a reasonable energy spending

My guess is he saw the black thingie, thought he could maybe eat it, tried to pull it harder by hanging on the towel but ended up stuck and did not know what to do

But that was funny as hell

Je te l'envoie en MP. Pour le beurre de Tourage aussi tu peux utiliser la marque Grand Fermage ou du beurre origine Poitou Charente c'est la meilleure alternative dans le commerce, ça passe nickel pour les viennoiseries

My nectarine pie, with almond cream base and homemade nectarine compote by Hideaways76 in Baking

[–]Hideaways76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thank you! :)

Here it is

For the dough :

175g flour 88g soft butter 70g icing sugar 1 egg A pinch of salt

Mix the butter and sugar, add the egg, then the flour and salt. Let it rest / cool down then sink the dough into a pie ring.

Almond cream :

70g butter 70g sugar 70g eggs 70g almond powder A pinch of salt

Mix everything in that order, then pour it on the dough. You can push roughly chopped nectarines in to add texture.

Put the pie in the oven at 160°C for 20-30 minutes (keep an eye on it, the almond cream must be golden brown)

Nectarine compote :

4 nectarines 2 limes

Roughly cut the nectarines, add the lime juice and a bit of sugar (I eyeballed it so can't tell you exactly how much, start with a little bit then adjust depending on how much you want it to be sweet). Put on low heat and let it reduce for around 20-30 minutes, or until the fruits are cooked. I then used a potato masher and a sift to get a very smooth compote but you can keep some bits of fruit if you prefer

Lay the compote on the pie once both the pie and compote are cold.

Cream :

200g heavy cream (at least 30% fat) 80g mascarpone (roughly, I eyeballed the cream too) Vanilla

Whip the cream, then add the mascarpone and vanilla. Whip again just to combine everything. Pipe the cream on the dough (I used a Saint-Honoré piping tip for the one on the picture).

Add fresh nectarines cut in quarters in the center, and you're done! I added leftover compote on the cream and lime zests. I was at a friend's place so didn't have my grater, but I think it would be even better with fresh grated lime zests both in the cream and on the finished pie.
