Art on my mind and food in my soul. Let me just start by dusting this page off a little.alright. time to start this puppy up again! To say the past year and a half has been anything but exciting would be an understatement. You reach that age where you can finally call yourself an adult but in what sense does that make you? I now have this. And more. Until I roll three sixes in a row, Then I'm fucked. All my friends can attest to my perfectionism in what I want from myself and who deserves me. I find ...

Art on my mind and food in my soul. The end is near. This week was the third practical of the programme. We had to make dobosh slices, ecliars and Paris brests, mousse slices, a birthday cake, fruit tarts and carrot cakes. On to artisan breads! Last week of working with cakes and pastries before the practical on Wednesday and Thursday. This level hasn't been as bad as I thought and once I put my creativity and artistic eye to use it has become a little enjoyable. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://lifeworkshopvan.blogspot.com/2014/05/normandie-and-us.html
Art on my mind and food in my soul. Bonjour nos Amis,. Never would we have thought how beautiful the people and land of Normandie would be. Yes time over we have been told, "go north! But the experience we had over the weekend has really changed our perception of this country. Our Airbnb hosts are the sweetest married couple and have been amazing hosts in their home as well as their parents, who by the way are also tres mignon! The town of Rolleville!

Art on my mind and food in my soul. The last few begins. The past few weeks have been busy and I'm not sure how I have managed to squeeze in time for myself. Last week I was stationed in the breads making all sorts of interesting new things I have never seen or tasted before; from kamut bread to cracked wheat, I managed to learn a lot about different flours and how fragile some breads can be. The artisan breads are very nice and with your choice of flavours, making them can be creative and fun.

Art on my mind and food in my soul. Our class-mate Robyn joked (or is serious) about calling herself a pastry wizard. I like the idea. Dummy wedding cake, fruit cakes decorated with marzipan and a birthday cake. Level three, cakes and french pastries, started last week and I have gone into this with complete hatred for it's perfectionist and dainty quality for products. I don't have the patience nor the small hands to produce finely detailed products but I do have the artistic eye. So as much as ...We st...

Art on my mind and food in my soul. Apuglia and us 5. Since our return back to Vancouver, Katie and I have been meaning to tell more of our story since we left Paris. In short we left the city and headed to Italy for the remaining three months but not until after we saw a bit more of Europe first.we'll talk more about this soon. I stumbled upon a man by the name of Tonio Creanza, who by which lives in Altamura for half the year and owns a good portion of some olive groves. Why a coincidence? Why can't he...

Life Workshop: Three steps forward
http://lifeworkshopvan.blogspot.com/2014/08/three-steps-forward.html
Art on my mind and food in my soul. Sunset over the waters of Le Havre. A beautiful time spent with friends and newly made family! Your life is a constant adventure where you continuously move with the tides and the winds of the ocean. You realize along the way you are out of control of many factors and the best option is to stay clear of the dangers but ride your ship like a true captain! And so we ride! Short story is I landed myself with a stage and Katie with a job. I didn't like it. Because of how t...

Art on my mind and food in my soul. Water salt flour heat=MAGIC. This method of long and slow fermentation is what gives artisan bread it's notorious crunchy golden crust and chewy open crumb. Buon appetito! I made bread and drew, HA! Easy way to stay occupied while endeavoring through this weather and waiting for a job call. I shaped two different batches from the same dough but changed a few variables. The second batch was proofed at a cooler temperature for 4 hours instead of a little warmer for 3...
