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…
{Workshop Candy Bar} – Martie 2018
Candy bar e o tema foarte actuala si mereu provocatoare, mai ales atunci cand iti doresti sa introduci cat mai multe elemente diferite, dar sa te si incadrezi in doua zile. Motiv pentru care am incercat de aceasta data sa cuprind doar elemente cu dificultate mai mare si am lasat deoparte deserturi mai simple pe…
{Cherry Petit Gateau} – Petit Gateau cu cirese si ciocolata
Petit gateaux are a recent love of mine, but one that goes way back to when I started making entremets. They don’t always intertwine, but petit gateaux are surely just as complex and need just as much attention as any entremet or cake does. And I guess that is the reason why I love making…
{Mint Pistachio Tart} – Tarta cu menta si fistic
There’s two things that I love a bit too much in pastry – pistachio and praline. I always fall for these two flavors, regardless of what dessert it is. It could be a cake, it could be an ice cream (oh my, ice cream!) or it could be a tart, it really doesn’t matter as…
Masterclass Karim Bourgi – Le Nouvel Art De la Patisserie – 11/12/13/14 aprilie 2018
Cofetaria e unul dintre cele mai frumoase domenii in care poti activa! Daca ai pasiune si te motiveaza, e si domeniul in care poti creste cel mai frumos, in care zilnic ai ceva de invatat, in care aproape nu exista finalitate intrucat mereu o iei de la capat dupa ce un desert e gata si…
