[ 我們的茶葉杯子蛋糕生產線 ] 

I'm busily catching up with my life after the end of a week-long non-stop exams. My first social event of the year has to do with baking! Bought two books over the break (couldn't resist the Amazon temptations) and decided to take on the tea-theme cupcake from the Hummingbird Bakery book. Other than the... (continue in English here)


好了, 別鬧了。考試結束後就是要趁再次被課業埋沒前，趕快來個比較歡樂的聚會。這次我們做三種茶葉的杯子蛋糕，參考的書就是之前我提過 N 次的...

[ 西班牙料理風 ]

This time we were in for some Spanish signature dishes. We learnt to made Sangria, paella and a few tapas. The chef is a foreigner who can speak Mandarin. So that was pretty interesting. & When he demonstrates, he was so swift and quick. After finishing... (continue reading...)


這次上的課程是西班牙料理的一些製作，除了必學的 Sangria 水果酒和海鮮飯以外，還有一些不錯的 tapas, 主廚是個會說中文的外國人，而且教起課來和做起菜來都超迅速利落！做完後發現...

[ 這次我們做馬卡龍 ]  

It has always been like a mystery and I have always been curious why macarons are so expensive. So we went on a journey with a pastry chef to uncover the secrets of ..... (continue reading...)


我一直很好奇: 市面上的馬卡龍也不是說長得特別怎麼樣, 為甚麼那麼貴? 大家都說馬卡龍的失敗率很高, 而且有很多東西很講究, 所以這次就要...

[ 烘培的大開眼界 ]  我想說, 這小弟弟實在太可愛了, 他在這櫥窗, 每個蛋糕都要照.
Entering the wonderland of bakery and baking equipments.

I just want to say, this little boy was so cute. He was so determined to take a photo of every cake in here.  We went to the Taipei International Bakery Show on a weekend and saw a lot of things that we've never seen before. After the V-Day special culinary event at NKUHT, we... (continue reading...)


看烘培展, 看到了甚麼? 有時我覺得在參展的廠商很可憐, 花大錢來參展, 不僅要給試用試吃的, 還要充當教育員, 但參展的主要目的不是應該是談生意收訂單嗎?（好啦, 培養未來客戶也算)  話是這麼說, 不過我們這些不是做餐飲的人還是去了國際烘培暨設備展. 也就是因為去了, 才看到了各行各業都有一層又一層的專業. 上次去了高雄餐旅大學做的是餐桌前端的準備, 這次看到的是...

Josie, Athena & I finally got our act together to go to the Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts near the Granville Island! I’ve always heard of the place because people said the food there is very fine and delicious at a affordable price (because they’re the works of the culinary students there).
