First practical done and dusted-poached pear

So today we had our first practical ...looking back on it I do think there's room for improvement... But I don't think I did to badly for my first time making this dish and plating it. 

What you see before your  very eyes  is some poached pear in red wine topped with chocolate ganache and caramelised walnuts. 

I never knew that making the caramel would be so easy peasy .... So guess who will be topping everything with caramel in the next few weeks????MEEEEEEE!!!! 

I must say I do enjoy myself,learning all these new recipes, and I'm excited for our next practical on Thursday. Watch this space pictures coming soon
