It’s been a few years since I played around with the idea of caramels, but here they are, making an entrance once again. Not your regular sea salt caramels this time though. These particular ones are tangy and intense, packed with flavor and have the best texture ever! And they are really not that difficult…
{Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookies} – Fursecuri cu picaturi de ciocolata si cafea
There are plenty of chocolate chip cookie recipes on this blog, from my favorites to these brown butter chocolate chip cookies, but somehow I felt the need to try one more recipe. You cannot blame me though. Look at these beautiful Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookies! The flavor is so intense due to using espresso powder….
Scoala de Vara – Curs Intensiv de Cofetarie
Un articol scris acum cateva saptamani anunta un curs cu adevarat unic in Romania, intensiv, in cadrul caruia fiecare cursant isi lucreaza propriile produse. L-am numit simplu Scoala de Vara – Curs Intensiv de Cofetarie si astazi vreau sa va arat cum a fost si cum va mai fi, de fapt, si datile viitoare, caci urmeaza…
{St. Honore Tartlettes} – Tarte St. Honore
French pastries are some of the best in the world, new all agree on that. What I love about them though is not necessarily the taste and texture, but the fact that they represent the norm, they are the base of everything else. Starting from any of them French desserts, one can easily create something…
{Pistachio Raspberry Tartelettes} – Tarte cu fistic si zmeura
Truth is that the last couple of weeks, if not months, have been so so intense with classes and masterclasses and so much recipe research and tasting. Not that I am complaining as it’s been so fun and delightful! It’s like a dream job – making desserts and teaching people – it’s like living my…
Masterclasses Horeca School 2018-2019 – Cursuri de excelenta
2018-2019 se anunta o perioada destul de aglomerata la Horeca School si ma refer aici strict la o serie de cursuri pe care noi le numim masterclasses, dar daca ar fi sa fac o traducere cat mai fidela, aceea ar fi cursuri de excelenta. Aceste cursuri sunt sustinute de oameni care si-au creat un nume…
{Scoala de Vara} – Curs intensiv de cofetarie
Cochetez de ceva vreme cu ideea unui curs intensiv de cofetarie care sa acopere bazele cofetariei frantuzesti si iata ca am facut primul pas in directia asta. Este un curs ca niciunul altul de pana acum, caci in premiera (in Romania daca nu ma insel), fiecare cursant isi va lucra propriile produse. Horeca School dispune…
{Momofuku Peanut Butter Cookies} – Fursecuri cu unt de arahide
The fact that I love Momofuku recipes is no surprise to anyone. But it’s been a while since my last try at baking one of Christina’s recipes and I was starting to miss her style a little bit, even though she does use a lot of sugar. However, her recipes have a charm that I…
Masterclass Karim Bourgi – Aprilie 2018
Masterclass Karim Bourgi a fost poate cel mai mare curs de acest gen organizat alaturi de Horeca School pana in momentul de fata, dar in acelasi timp poate si cel mai frumos. Adevarul este ca nu ma asteptam sa trec prin aceste stari de incantare si oboseala concomitente si la un nivel atat de intens….
{Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins} – Muffins cu lamaie si mac
Instead of chocolate, lately I have been using fresher, lighter ingredients in my pastries, vanilla being on the first place, followed shortly by praline, strawberries and citrus fruits. Chocolate remains one of the best ingredients to use in desserts, but sometimes it’s good to explore other possibilities as well. Today’s recipe, lemon poppy seed muffins,…
Workshop Macarons
Mi-a fost multa vreme teama de macarons. Recunosc ca tehnica in sine imi dadea fiori pe sira spinarii. Poate si pentru ca mult timp am plecat urechea la miturile si zvonurile care plutesc in jurul lor si am crezut ca sunt greu de facut, ca daca ploua nu vor iesi, ca daca… ca daca… Multe…
Concurs “Cofetarul Iscusit”
De ceva vreme rumeg ideea unui concurs pe blog si cred ca pana acum nu se aliniasera toate planetele caci imi doream sa fie ceva care in primul rand sa va scoata din sfera de confort si apoi sa va ofere sansa sa castigati ceva cu adevarat util. Insa iata ca primavara a venit cu…
