Now, how cool is that?

Here's a brand new dessert ''Peaches and Cream'' that Apple Pie Bakery Cafe has launched. I was like ''wow'' when I saw it, so I had to share it with you.
It is composed of a rich and creamy panacotta with a layer of creme anglaise, toasted almond clusters, and peach compote. It is then covered with purple joconde that has been blast frozen and pulverized after baking. On top of that, there is a baloon filled with peach nectar and once you pop it, it oozes out like an egg yolk!
Very creative, huh?
Here's is a link of Chef Francisco Migoya's blog The Quenelle where you can read all the details about this and other interesting desserts that he and his team creates!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Disney!

First of all, happy belated Easter!!! I was in Disneyland California during my spring break!
I was actually in Disneyland Paris when I was about 6, so I don't remember as much....This time it was a wonderful experience, but of course very different from when I was that young.

I wish I could put all the pictures up, because there is so much to see! So I was in the park for the full 3 days and on the Easter Sunday I went to Hollywood to church! Crazy!!! I really wanted to see it, so we spent a couple of hours driving around Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, Walk of fame and of course...I saw the Hollywood sign :))
And I almost got kidnapped by the pirate Jack Sparrow ;)

Spring at last!

Since I am not in the bakeshops as much as I was before, and I am mostly surrounded with Accounting, Marketing and other classes, I don't come across that many baking topics that I could write about....But today I have an interesting little treat for youfrom Apple Pie cafe, which I'm not a big fan of, but it's widely eaten in Japan and it's made out of glutinous rice pounded into paste and molded into shapes. Here in the US it's made using rice flour and water, and these particular ones are filled with mango and lyche jelly.

I would like to mention that 2 weeks ago I went home for 5 days to attend an important conference held in my hometown, Split. It was the European WACS conference. It is the world association of cooks, and you can look it up here to learn more about. I had a lot of fun, met many people, learned many things, and got to enjoy a little bit of time spent home.

Now I have a 5-day Spring break coming up and after that 3 more weeks until the end of my 3rd year and the begining of the Food & Wine Seminar! Italy here I come! :))
Until then, here are some spring tulips for you!
