[Lyde Buchtenkirch-Biscard]

As to another person who understands and has worked in the culinary profession. I worked teaching at the C.I.A. for 20 years (various kitchens, ie: Sausage making, Skill Development, Fish cookery, Meat cutting and so on.
I also did a lot of culinary competition and got into making special molds and cutters that you could not buy. Also designed and made a lot of pate en croute molds out of S.S. so that the product browned on the sides during the baking process.
My brother was a big help in the process as he has a lot more experience than I do. Now that I am retired I enjoy making items out of metal as they last a lot longer that something made of ice or sugar. On some pieces I incorporate wood decoration, such as an apple theme with everything metal except the apples. I will post some pictures soon. LYDE
