Identify various types of forcemeats including straight, country-style, gratin, and mousseline
-
Describe the procedure for making terrines
-
Understand how to prepare pâté en croûte
-
Explain the process of making galantines and roulades
-
Recognize proper method of working with foie gras including grading, cleaning, and marinating
-
Provide examples of nontraditional “terrines” made without force-meats.
Background:
Pates started back in the Middle Ages, and for a long time were present in French cooking. Now, pates are very popular in restaurants & making their way back into homes. There are 4 different types of pates: country, gratin, straight, and mousseline.
Galantines started their history during the French Revolution- the word galantine came from the old french word " géline" which meant chicken. The galantine is prepared the same way as a roulade- just depends on if the chef wants a spiral roll or the meat breast to be in the center.

Methods Used:
For appetizers, it would be great to practice our plating skills. Since appetizers are the first thing a guest would see, it would be nice to practice how it's best to plate an hors d'oeuvres vs. a canapés or an amuse bouche.

WEEK 9: REFLECTION
Lab Outcomes: This week, we worked on creating plant based dishes, that would be appealing to everyone- not just vegetarians or vegans. The meals we prepared were satisfying, and were appealing to those who are not primarily plant based. We added grains to the mix to practice making fresh pasta.
​
Dish Results:
Cream of Grilled Chard this dish was so fun to make! Using the electric flat-top for the chard make a difference in the flavor.
​
Smoky Mushroom BLT: I loved this take on a BLT- even though I would have loved for more lettuce and tomato to be included.
​
Lemon Aioli: I made this sauce to go with the BLT. I started off by making my own mayo, which was a bit of a struggle- it broke on me on the first try. After making the mayo, I added lemon juice and the other seasonings to make aioli.
​
Fresh Pasta: the whole class took turns running the dough through the pasta machine. We also had some people making different shaped raviolis- which I thought were a lot harder to make.
