embracing each moment..

being in London makes me feel so blessed and it made me realized how beautiful and wonderful my life was, is and will be. :)

waking up in the morning to the cold weather, walking and smiling to myself most of the time..looking at the trees with leaves turning from green to yellow, brown or red..looking at the leaves on the walkway..looking at the beautifully constructed houses (not referring to the modern ones)...they just make me so happy! and make my day most of the time.

the best part of being here is to be able to intern at Melt which is absolutely fabulous and i cant describe how fortunate i am. learning new things every time, being exposed not only to new techniques but also new ingredients  and knowledge :)

Superior had started like a month ago and everything seems particularly quick. i guess when in superior you are expected to know everything. but i must say every lessons feel more comfortable and happy. everyone in class jokes around while preparing what we had to do for the lesson.

last week we had our Restaurant Plated Dessert Module and chef C was with us <3 <3 <3
1st we did our Mise en place which literally means putting in place where we organize / arrange / make stuff that we will need for the plated dessert and thereafter, putting them together. Hence, in the 1st lesson, we did the jelly, tempered chocolate deco, tuiles, etc followed by putting them together in the next lesson.

below are the many restaurant plated desserts prepared by Chef C during demo...pretty right?!!!!

there were

Delice au Chocolat Amer et Romarin et Creme a l'Amaretto
Bavatios de Ricotta avec une Compote aux Frambioses
Souffle Creme au Citro et Sauce Caramel
Mille-Feuille au Chocolat
Tarte aux Mirabelles Bourdaloue avec Creme Chibouste Mirabelle

as for lesson, we only made 3 out of the 5 that were demonstrated to us :)
