Clif High: Two Connected Talks, Frothy Wood and Roux Woo

 Clif gave this presentation in two parts, essentially, because his work schedule forced that format on him. That's okay, it works well.

Actually, I really enjoyed the discussion in Roux Woo because it gave me insight into some of the instructions to be read in recipes when baking: use a small amount (1/4 cup) of ice-cold water if you want a flaky crust for a pie, for example. He also explains why making a small quantity of roux to be added to a bread recipe can yield a light, airy texture to the loaf; I'll have to try that, to be sure.

Anyway, these talks are typical Clif. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
