Third Experiment: Fruits

Fruits is one of the most colorful, flavourful food the world has to offer.
It has lots of uses. You can make them into jams, cookies, ice cream, yoghurt,
alcoholic beverages and others. It is also an ideal gift (fruit basket).

So today I am not going to offer you a recipe for mass destruction
(if you already read the few previous post, if you havent
here they are bread alligator and angel cake)


Im offering peace for a change :-P
So let's begin our fruit experiment.

In this experiment, our group has been given task to make

Second Experiment: Yeast Bread



reminds me of an old "friend"
 
Our second experiment is the yeast bread.
No! We do not make alligator monster bread.

so, anyway..

First Experiment: Angel Cake (Fraken-Angel Cake)


Joking, this isn't actually our final product
if it is.. then this would not be
the Food Innovations & Design subject.
Anyway, our first
frakenfood is Angel Cake
(frakenfood actually refers to genetically modified food
but since this is kind off like experimenting in the kitchen
instead of cooking we make it sound like we're being scientist instead)
So let's begin!
