Food Fair Fit for The Gods (of Education)

Never have I ever seen such an eager cohort of students partaking in the same subject with such an intense passion for what they are studying. Then again, never have I ever seen so much free food in one place in one time. I like to think both played a fair part in Friday's game.

For the food fair I chose to make French Pear and Hazelnut Tart. I remember having tried this dish whilst on exchange in France and being totally taken aback with not only how yummy but also how different it was. Pastry covered in a kind of hazelnut crust and baked pears with cinnamon wasn't something I'd had before but it didn't make it any less DELICIOUS, so the chance to bring it back to my Australian peers was a responsibility I did not take lightly.

the exact concoction I attempted 

Baking it was relatively easy thanks both to an easy to follow recipe and an unwillingness to fail. It even came out looking exactly like the picture! Unfortunately though, the tupperware container I had to transport my masterpiece was not big enough to fit the whole thing so I was forced to prematurely cut it up.

I noticed the biggest compliment of the day was if your dish was all gone when it came to packing up, so I felt as though I had done the dish justice. Either that or I simply did not make enough to warrant not being able to finish it. I'll go with the former though, I think. 

I have truly enjoyed this subject and am wholly grateful for its existence. To any tutors reading, thanks for your guidance I've had serious fun studying these past few weeks. Any prospective students reading who are tossing up doing this subject. Say yes. Just do it. Best decision ever.
