...Foreign literature: The Baking Industry Research Trust (BIRT) is a sub-committee of the New Zealand Association of Bakers (NZAB), delegated the responsibility of administering the Trust Account. The Trust Account was set up to meet the requirements of the Wheat Industry Research Levies Act 1989 and to identify and make recommendations to the NZAB Executive. The NZAB Executive has legal responsibility for administering the Trust, and other levy payers on research projects. The BIRT committee is made up of representatives from the various levy paying sectors. These include plant bakers, small bakeries represented by the Baking Industry Association of New Zealand (BIANZ) (Baking Society) and biscuit manufacturers, as well as the Chair of the New Zealand Flour Milling Industry Research Trust. The two sectors frequently combine on research projects. Copies of completed research reports are available to all levy payers and BIRT would encourage all industry members to take advantage of research conducted on their behalf. Since the formation of the Trust in 1989, a key aspect of the Trust’s work has been to ensure that the research conducted is appropriate for the Industry sector the Trust represents. Consequently in addition to having representatives from all sectors, the trust has also conducted a number of strategy workshops in which industry personnel have outlined the research framework for the Trust to follow. The framework developed has provided the Trust with some clear...

...Techniques Used To Decorate Cakes Red Velvet. Devil’s Food. Classic White. Angel Food Cake. Pound Cake. These are just a few of the multitude of cakes there are in the world. Not including the ones still to be made and discovered by future bakes of the world. Baking is traditional as well as a hobby to many. Unlike cooking, baking is specific. You have to follow recipes to the exact measurements. If not, a disaster is likely to happen and your cake will not be what you expect. Baking is sweet. Baking is history. Baking is today. Did you know that when red velvet cake was first made in the 1930’s it was called Red Devil? It was called this because chocolate cake is referred to as Devil’s Food and red velvet is in actuality a red chocolate cake. (Olver, 2014) Did you also know that baking records show that already in the years 2600-2100 B.C. bread was baked by Egyptians, who it is believed had learned the skill from the Babylonians. A relief signifying the royal bakery of Ramses features bread and cakes, some of these were shaped in the form of animals and used for sacrifices. Other early records, this time by the Greek scholar (Aristophanes 450-385 B.C), show the existence of honey flans and patterned tortes. According to Aristophanes, the ancient Greeks also had a type of doughnut made from crude flour and honey called “Dispyrus” a ring-cake that was submerged in wine and consumed hot. (Pfister, 2014) Now it is acknowledged, the Romans were a hearty, festivity loving lot...

The invention of the yeast bread was an accident b. The history of dark bread was consumed by poor people c. Bread is prominent in some religious ceremonies Topic Sentence 1 We all eat cake! Topic Sentence 2 Bread is a staple in many households. Paragraph 1 Most times when we think of cake, we think of birthdays and weddings. Cakes can often be found at any holiday celebration. In the Roman period, only the wealthiest people had cake. It was made with the most expensive and exquisite ingredients that could be found. By the 19th century, ingredients became more affordable and recipes were easier to understand. Archaeologists had discovered cakes made with moistened, crushed grains in the Neolithic villages. Today, we would call this a biscuit or a simple cookie. A traditional cake is made up of refined flour, shortening or oil, sugar, eggs, a leavening compound, and some kind of flavoring. Cakes come in all different shapes, sizes, textures, and ingredients. From chocolate cake to cheesecake to biscuits, they are all part of our lives. We all eat cake! Paragraph 2 Bread is a staple in many households. Bread has a few different meanings in our world today. When I first think of bread, I think of sandwiches. Bread is also used in slang meaning “money”. In early...

...HISTORY OF BAKING On today’s market there is a never ending variety of the most delicious sweets and pastries to please both the palate and the eyes. We have become so used to this diverse range of bread, mouth watering pastries and cakes that seldom we ask just how they come into existence. I guess my initial interest in the origin of the baking industry was not aroused by accident; rather I suspect it was kindled by a chain of events occurring earlier in my life... My Grandfather owned a small hotel and bakery in Switzerland and when he retired my father who was an excellent pastry cook continued the business. As a small child I spent many hours watching my dad at work and later followed in his footsteps almost as a matter of course. Then again, I have a suspicion that it may have been “fate-by-design” that made me take up pastry-cooking. The question still remains, was my career pre-determined by the fact that my grandfather had thousands of letterheads printed for his bakery which included his name? The prospect of a hefty quantity discount would no doubt have made perfect sense to my frugal fore bearer; it must have been so much cheaper getting all this printing done in a big way. Grandfather should have realised (and I suspect that he might have) that there was not the slightest chance that any one generation could ever use up this huge mountain of stationery. Granddad’s first name “Fritz” was also my father’s first name and when I was born there was never any question...

...Boiling Foods Boiling is the cooking of foods in a liquid either at or brought to boiling point at 100 degrees Celsius. It keeps the food in motion, it prevents sticking and it cooks the food quickly. Food such as eggs, pasta, rice, beans, soups, sauce, potatoes, stocks and stew meats can be boiled. When ingredients are boiled it is usually done in water, however it can also be used for different sauces to reduce them, or for brown/white stocks, a Blanc (water, flour and lemon), court bouillon or milk. It is important to use the correct proportion of liquid when boiling food because otherwise there might not be an even coverage over the food so it could dry out, or if there is too much liquid it could damage the food. There are two basic methods of boiling: 1. Food is placed in cold liquid and then brought to the boil and cooked. This is not only safer but prevents the food from losing its shape and helps extract flavour. It also helps tenderise any foods with a fibrous structure. For example: Stocks and Leaf Vegetables 2. Food is placed in boiling liquid and cooked. This retains as much colour as possible and apparently reduces enzymic action that destroys Vitamin C. For example: Pasta and Rice There are also different techniques of boiling: Simmering: boiling gently with gentle surface motion. Blanching: is the pre-cooking or part cooking of food by plunging into boiling water e.g green vegetables Refreshing: is the cooling of food after blanching or boiling...

...suit everyone’s taste buds. Cakes that are made from scratch tend to taste way better than store bought cakes, but many may not know how to bake a cake; this will help you step by step on how to bake a cake for your next upcoming event. The first thing you will need to do is preheat the oven to 350 degrees. You need to start gathering all the materials, such as milk, eggs, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, shortening, vanilla extract, and the baking utensils. Depending on how big or small you want the cake will determine what size pan you should use. Make sure the pan is deep and round so it will rise while baking in the oven. To begin the actually baking portion you must measure out the ingredients before adding them together so the process will go a little faster. All the measurements must be exact so the cake will taste how it’s supposed to. You will need to measure out 2 ¼ cups of flour, 1 ½ cups of sugar, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ cup shortening, ¾ cup of milk, 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla, ¼ cup of milk, and 2 eggs. Next, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Then, add in the shortening and pour in ¾ cup of milk and 1 ½ teaspoons of vanilla. It’s best to use an electric mixer, but if you don’t have one then a fork will do the same job. Lastly add in the remaining milk and eggs, stir until all the lumps have completely disappeared. After you have finished mixing everything, start lightly greasing the pan and pour...

The first one is “Usage and attitude study”. The insights is gained from the case: * 56% Canadian prefers to bake from scratch and 33% bake scratch every month. * Convenience and taste is the top two most important elements considered by Canadian when they choose cookies. Then they followed by quality of cookies. The kids’ favor is also put into considered when their parents decide to purchase. * Customers regard cookie dough as convenient. And acting on the impulse, increasing number of customers purchase cookie dough. Implications obtained from the study: First of all, it’s the preference of cooking method. We could regard this point as one of customer behavior features, to be detailed, or as how to use our product. Guillen should base on this behavior preference to improve the product. Second, it’s the purchase drivers considered by customer. Based on the study, when customers choose cookies, the product features should be listed as convenience, taste, quality and kids’ preference. This is critical information for Guillen to redesign or reposition his product. What’s more, it’s the motives of purchase. According to the study, customers always choose product impulsively without too much recognition or preference about certain products. There are two sides of this matter. One is positive....
