The Art of Vegetarian Cuisine Spring 2017 HMGT 4968
A City Tech OpenLab Course Site
The OpenLab is an open-source, digital platform designed to support teaching and learning at City Tech (New York City College of Technology), and to promote student and faculty engagement in the intellectual and social life of the college community.
This week we explored brunch and breakfast items. Most of the dishes were plant based. The muffins today were all plant based which was interesting baking without the use of eggs for binding the mixture together. The class learned about egg substitutions for baking using several different ingredients.
Plating was a big feature since we tend to eat with our eyes first. We discussed various techniques on how to plate the items that we made.
The muffins were delicious. They were made with varieties of flour and whole wheat was in all of them which is rich in nutrients and texture that white flour does not provide.
This class was very delicious. There was lots to learn and explore this week.
