Hey all,
I frequently get asked why I don't make more pastries, and my answer is always that if I tried out five pastry recipes my housemates would have heart attacks from eating them and I'd have to pay rent for everybody for the month. And then I wouldn't have any money left for ingredients.
That being said, I would like to try out some pastry recipes. It's just a challenge because they're never as good the next day--so I can't take them to work or karate.
We've had a running joke that we're running a coffee shop at our house. People stop by and we almost always hand them a tasty espresso or a cappuccino with the latest attempts at latte art. Sometimes on the weekends we have waffles, sometimes pancakes, sometimes fresh fruit or fresh bread--but never pastries. And what's a coffee shop without pastries?
So here's the idea: one of the next few weekends I'll make all of the recipes that have been sitting on the back burner for a while. I'll stock up on butter, make some proper croissant dough, and borrow a Tartine cookbook from somebody. Maybe I'll try to make morning buns. Maybe macarons and muffins, or tarts and toffee.
Would you show up and save my housemates from themselves? Are there any tasty recipes you've been itching to try? Do you want to come help bake in my house, or do you like the idea of free butter? Let me know, and I'll see what I can do to make it happen.
Cheers!
