CHEFS Chocolate & Culinary School - (Hong Kong)

 Hong Kong is experiencing a surge in Culinary School openings and many of these are headed by High Profile or Celebrity chefs.    Chef Koo 甜心先生 from the highly regarded Black & White Patisserie has opened his own school,  and we were invited over to check it out and make some ‘pizza dumplings’ with Chef Reko today,  who supervises the savory courses here.   For more information,  contact their email :  marketing@blacknwhite.com.hk or like their Facebook page with updated information at https://www.facebook.com/chefs.official .

Multiple Oven set-up -

 

 

 

Let’s eat some cakes from Black & White first before the Course begins -
We were all a bit starving..

 

 

 

Our own Kitchen Steel Bench and ingredients -
To me,  it is important that in a Cooking Class,  the students can really practise making their own food from scratch,  and under the supervision of your teacher.  They do this well here.

 

 

 

Pesto being Made -
With basil, garlic, cheese, olive oil, etc

 

 

Making our Pizza Dough -
This uses a combination yeast and flour and a bit of seasoning.

 

 

 

Chef Reko demonstrating to us -
how to fold the Pizza Calzones properly so that they don’t separate when being baked and the puffs start to expand.  This is a tricky bit and you have to seal them properly with more clamping force.

 

Pesto Sauce -
This is used to brush both the inside and the external of the pizzas.

 

 

 

Rested then divided dough balls, 
before rolling out and folding our own creations.

 

 

 

My Finished Tray of mini Calzones -

 

 

My Finished Products from the Oven -
Improvements can be made definitely,  it takes a lot of practice to perfect the products from one batch to another!  Such is the fun of baking anything!

 

 

 

Taking them Home for Supper and Lunch on the next day!
