Aceasta vara inseamna debutul a ceea ce am hotarat sa numesc simplu Ateliere de Cofetarie by Olguta, o colectie de cursuri independente pe care le voi aduna in aceasta noua pagina ce a aparut pe blog – Ateliere de Cofetarie – pe care va invit sa o vizitati pentru a avea acces la noutati. Cursurile…
Oatmeal Fruit Crumble
Summer is in full swing and I love it! All these fruits and fresh products, all these salads and aromas ready for be infused in desserts! It’s my favorite time of the year for sure! And it’s also the time when I avoid using the oven too much and focus more on desserts that require…
Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
These chocolate chip cookies are not only packed with chocolate, but so moist and delicious that one cookie alone won’t be enough!
Moist Banana Brownies
Brownies might as well become this blog’s signature as there are so many recipes already published, all of them delicious, fitted for every taste! You can choose between these raspberry brownies or these fluffy brownies of Pierre Herme, although if you love moist, gooey brownies, the 4 chocolate brownies might be a better choice. I…
Scoala de Vara by Olguta
Scoala de Vara este un curs de cofetarie gandit pentru pasionatii de cofetarie, incepatori sau intermediari, oameni care isi doresc sa descopere tainele cofetariei, pornind de la fursecuri la tarte, de la macarons la torturi, de la ceea ce reprezinta baza cofetariei catre produse mai complexe, dar care au in comun un singur lucru –…
Mini tarte cu matcha si zmeura
Continuam aventura cu matcha de la Nevis inceputa in articolul de zilele trecute cu aceste mini tarte cu matcha si zmeura atat de delicate in simplitatea lor. Exteriorul poate nu impresioneaza, insa interiorul iese in evidenta cu siguranta! O coaja nispoasa de pate sucree ce se topeste in gura, un gel de zmeura intens aromatizat…
Matcha Black Sesame Petit-Gateaux
Matcha Black Sesame Petit-Gateaux was not an easy cake to come up with. I had a hard time at first pairing matcha with other flavors, so I started looking for inspiration. Eventually I found Sadaharu Aoki who is a Japanese pastry chef living in France. His shop is known for the mix of Japanese flavors…
Monoportii cu matcha si susan negru
Mi-a fost destul de greu sa combin matcha cu alte arome la inceput, asa ca am inceput sa caut inspiratie si am ajuns la acest om pe care il admir foarte mult – Sadaharu Aoki. De origine japoneza, el traieste acum la Paris si detine o cofetarie ce reuseste sa imbine cu mare succes aromele…
{Pink Pepper Grapefruit Pavlova} – Pavlova cu grapefruit si piper roz
Pavlova is an international dessert, that famous it is! But with good reason as it is a dessert easy to make and can pack a lot of flavor. Moreover, you can make good use of the leftover egg whites or even recycle fruits that no one eats anymore.
Tort cu morcovi si ghimbir
Am cam pierdut sirul numarului de retete de tort cu morcov de pe blog, dar trebuie sa recunosc ca imi place tare mult acest tort cu morcovi si ghimbir si in plus mai e si extrem de versatil! Se combina excelent cu o crema de branza si unt, usor sarata, intens aromatizata, dar ar merge…
Ginger Carrot Cake
Carrot cake may be a classic, but the good thing with classics is that they can easily be revived. So I added plenty of candied ginger into the sponge to make this cake a better version of itself. What you end up with is a moist, aromatic and creamy cake to enjoy!
Tort cu morcovi si ghimbir
Am cam pierdut sirul numarului de retete de tort cu morcov de pe blog, dar trebuie sa recunosc ca imi place tare mult si in plus mai e si extrem de versatil! Se combina excelent cu o crema de branza si unt, usor sarata, intens aromatizata, dar ar merge la fel de bine si cu…
Tiramisu cu rom si lime
Tiramisu nu e ceva ce fac prea des, dar de cate ori fac, mereu ma regasesc departe de reteta traditionala. Pur si simplu se intampla. Recunosc insa ca nu sunt o mare bautoare de cafea, fiind o licoare pe care o consum doar cand sunt extrem de obosita si am nevoie de un boost de…
White Tiramisu with Malibu and lime
Tiramisu is not something I make too often, but when I do, I put some distance between the traditional recipe and me. I don’t have an explanation for it – it just happens. I do love coffee in desserts and I do enjoy a slice of classic Tiramisu once in a while, but I also…
Top 10 Must Have Tools for a Pastry Chef – 10 ustensile necesare unui cofetar
Although having the right tools is not the essence of being a pastry chef, it can surely help get the job done! So here is a list of what I consider to be the 10 most important tools of a pastry chef!
Flan cu vanilie – desert frantuzesc
Sfarsitul anului 2018, inceputul lui 2019 au vazut un nou trend in cofetaria mondiala – reintoarcerea la radacini, la folosirea celor mai bune ingrediente si acordarea unei atentii sporite calitatii peste cantitate. Viennoiserie a devenit un model de urmat, dar si cofetarii su inceput sa includa elemente ce apartin mai degraba boulangerului in munca lor,…
Vanilla Flan – French Classics
The end of 2018 and the start of 2019 saw a new trend rising in the pastry world – going back to the roots of pastry, using the best ingredients available and focusing more on quality and not quantity. I saw viennoiserie rise incredibly, but I also saw pastry chefs bringing baking more into their…
{Hazelnut Banana Spread} – Crema de banane si alune de padure
Spreads aren’t really that popular in Romania. Well, maybe except Nutella, but let’s face it – as delicious as this famous spread might be, it is packed with sugar and powdered milk and vegetable oil. And even though I know some of these ingredients are harmless, I for one much rather make my own spread,…
Quadruple Chocolate Brownies
Quadruple Chocolate Brownies don’t wear this name by chance – they do consist of 4 types of chocolate: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate and gianduja chocolate. If you add to this equation the chocolate used in the actual batter you end up with so much chocolate that only a true chocoholic could handle this…
Brownies cu 4 tipuri de ciocolata
Aceste brownies cu ciocolata nu sunt tocmai ceva ce gasesti oriunde si oricand, caci ele contin de 4 ori mai multa ciocolata decat gasesti in retetele de brownies obisnuite. Ciocolata vine sub 4 forme diferite: cu lapte, neagra, alba si gianduja (cu alune de padure), insa in esenta puteti folosi orice ciocolata doriti, le puteti…
