Even a Chocolate has a soul!

"Chocolate has only three molecules, but he is not stupid" - said one of our chefs.

Did you hear how the chefs talk about the food?

Food for the chefs it's kind of human being. They talk to food, feel it, hear it and etc. It sounds crazy :-), doesn't it?

In Cuisine it was something like: "The meat should get used to the idea that it has become a steak" or some chef said "Chicken it's as a woman, you should be gentle with her, soft hand!"

In Patisserie it's: "When you make a ganache (chocolate cream), you should slowly add the slightly chilled cream to melted chocolate. Before you add the cream, try it with your finger. And if you say "Aah!" (hot), the chocolate will say "Aah!" too. Chocolate has only three molecules, but he is not stupid." By the way, three molecules are cocoa butter, cocoa solid and sugar :-).

The dish or the dessert can be sexy! It can be just a dish, you know the regular one, or it can be a sexy one. When I see a nice guy and it something in his eyes (or in other place :-) ), you know "something", that you can't explain, sexy. The same is about the food, it can be sexy dish, also a simple dish, but it something about it, something sexy!

And these are just a short examples.

At the beginning of my studies it was sound weird to me, but now I start feeling this way too. I think it's a good sign, I become a part of this profession!

And if you ask me: " Do you enjoy what you are doing"?

I'll answer "Absof---glutly"! (Mr. Big from "The Sex and the City" would say)

And here are some pictures from the Basic Patisserie:

Enjoy!

It's Raining, but very sweet!

Do you know the famous song "It's Raining men" ?

It' goes like this:

"God bless Mother Nature, she's a single woman too

She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do

She taught every angel to rearrange the sky

So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy

It's Raining Men! Yeah!"

Honestly, I prefer Mother Nature will find some Sunny guy to be with :-).

It's already two month of rainy weather here, with may be some sunny days between.

According to statistic, more than 35 million people worldwide have been prescribed Prozac - including more than 500,000 in UK alone - since its launch in 1989.

This fact is not surprising, it's enough to look outside through the window and you will find yourself in deep depression looking at this grey, rainy weather.

Since I almost lost the hope to see the sun here, I will go to meet the Sun.

In one and a half month I'm going to Israel to take some tan mentally and physically :-).

Meanwhile this horrible weather (surprisingly my husband likes this weather), I started Patisserie studies. In comparison to Cuisine, it's very relaxed and a bit easier and it's Sweet!

There are some pictures for the start:

Lemon tart

Eclairs and etc.

Stay with me, it will be more!
