A while back I saw these cute little plant pot looking dessert glasses and this idea sparked my mind – what if I play around this idea and come up with something delicious to fill them with, followed by actually planting something in the edible soil?! It sounded fun so I ended up actually making…
Hans Ovando Masterclass
Evenimentul lunii octombrie la Horeca School este in mod cert Masterclassul sustinut de catre pastry chef Hans Ovando! Si desi mai avem cateva saptamani pana atunci, am inceput deja pregatirile, iar inscrierile sunt pe ultima suta de metri! Ciocolata, pralina de migdale, pralina de alune de padure, samburi de pin, arome fresh de citrice, toate…
{Caramelized Popcorn Chouquettes} – Chouquettes cu popcorn caramelizat
Oh boy, I love everything that is caramelized! It is such a cool technique to improve taste and texture even to a pastry product! Think about caramelized sugar, about caramelized butter/ brown butter, think about that golden crust on so many desserts. Superb! But then I discovered caramelized popcorn and my world has turned upside…
{Mango Passion Fruit Caramels} – Caramele cu mango si fructul pasiunii
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….
