Welcome!

Hi! My name is Alex. I am doing a passion project in ELP that is all about baking. I will be making all kinds of food that you would find in a bakery. I've never tried making most of the recipes before, and I'm excited to learn! I will start with trying recipes from the book, bon appetit desserts by Barbara Fairchild.

Recipe #1
Pistachio Gelato
Skill level Rating:  2 whisks (means "a little more challenging.  For the beginner with confidence")

noun Italian Cookery .
a rich ice cream, made with eggs and usually containing a relatively low percentage of butterfat.
I found this amazing recipe from Bon Apetit Desserts by Barbara Fairchild.  This turned out amazingly much, much better than I thought it would.  It tasted like pistachio ice cream that is a little richer than normal, and it had a tiny bit of a different flavor.  It was a little difficult to whisk it and transfer it, but I was still able to do it.  I would definitely recommend this recipe; it was one of the best things I've ever made! Go get the book!
Here are some pictures of the process...
 The pistachios (roasted, unsalted is what I used)
Grinding the pistachios

 it was boring stirring...
 This is my final shebang!!  YUM!
p.s - if you do not like pistachios, do not try this at home!
