Have you ever served Quiche Lorraine to a guest, to find out that the pastry that once was crispy has suddenly turned moist? I have, and it was embarrassing! When ever I do Quiche, my dough always seems to come out moist instead of crispy. So I got some advice from a french chef I met the other day, He suggested that I should brush on some egg wash onto the pastry before I put it into the oven to bake blind.  The egg wash creates a film like substance on the pastry so that when you pour the egg mixture into the pan, it wont cause the pastry to go soft. I haven't tried it yet, but I will soon... Since I have an electric oven, i can only cook ever so often.... Bummer! But I am thinking of having a sale at one of the Farmer's Markets here in Barbados and the money that I raise will go towards buying a second hand gas stove. Hopefully I will have the sale soon, because as a passionate cook I need to cook at least once a day. Anyways... I hope you all are enjoying my blog... who ever you are....

Enjoy Cooking and Bon Appetite
