Restaurant Petits Fours was the first in a series of lessons on small and/or plated desserts that could be served in a restaurant. Laurie was visiting on the day of this demo and tagged along. We learned how to make Chocolate Macaroons, Green Tea Cakes with White Chocolate Ganache, Walnut and Chocolate Cookies, Jasmine Shortbread, and Chocolate Diamonds. None of these items were too exciting or tasty, but they were pretty. They were the sort of dessert that would come to your table complimentary after a meal at a fancy restaurant. Since there were so many different cookies to make we worked in groups of three for our practical class. My partners were Veronica and Maggie.
