Lesson In flambé.

In these pictures is the teacher introducing one student to flambé of glace au four. They do this so the guests that order it can watch every step. Glace au four is a sponge-cake and ice cream dessert covered in meringue, in this case served with bits of fresh fruits and warm chocolate sauce.

In this lesson the teacher is starting up the flambé pan and guides the student during al the steps toward a perfect flambé glace au four. First they are heating up the spoon with the alcohol inside, in this case is a French liqueur called Benedictin, D.O.M. After when the liqueur is hot enough they light it and pour it together with the chocolate sauce over the cake. And the cake sets on fire, the cake is now flambéed and can be served to the guests.

  1. Hello Petra! So nice to see this occasion as you flaming glace au four, i was just in this moment in the kitchen, where students cooked this dessert. Is the teacher carefully so that all students will have opportunity to try to flambé? Is it only in third grade that students receive the trap to try this?
