About

A technique of incorporating one ingredient into another with minimal disturbance.  Commonly called for when mixing ingredients into whipped egg whites to preserve its delicate aeration.  
To fold, take a big spatula or a rounded dough scrapper and combine the ingredients with broad, gentle strokes.  Continue until all the ingredients are evenly blended, and no longer.
