Posted on May 24, 2013 by

Spent the morning yesterday kneading dough and stirring my jam before work. I’m a little addicted to bread-making because I feel it relies more on estimation and experience rather than precise metrics like pastry. Makes it a little more interesting … Continue reading →

Paris 2012: Poilâne

Posted on March 21, 2013 by

Seems like the world (or rather, the flogging community) has visited this bakery by Gontran Cherrier (you know what, I’ve never heard of him haha). They have a good marketing strategy I must say- from the cute mural that gives … Continue reading →

Posted on August 3, 2012 by

Get ready for a slew of sugar-filled posts because I’m going to write about all the sugar I had in Boston! The number of independent bakeries, cafes, froyo shops, ice cream shops in Massachusetts, Cambridge in particular, is mind-boggling. Most … Continue reading →

Posted on July 23, 2012 by

Before the internships started I found myself wandering into Baker & Cook countless times for a tea time snack, lunch or breakfast. The buzz never seems to abate here. I like it best when there’s still enough space for me … Continue reading →

A wholesome afternoon lunch for me would be a sandwich from simply bread, and a cup of green tea and red bean gelato from Venezia. My must-order everytime I go? Anything grilled with aged cheddar. You can make your own … Continue reading →
