Pasta, cheese, and pork are in my top 10 favorite foods in the world! So of course that a dish that included all of 3 amazing ingredients would be one of the best foods for me.♥ Some people use cream and garlic on the Carbonara recipe, but I really like the classic simple version. It’s…
Winter Break!
Finally the winter break! Last day of GBC this semester and all I want to do right now is put my feet up and rest a little bit. For everyone that thinks that study what you like is just fun… LOL Well, it is fun indeed but is exhausting as well. I’m freaking tired, but…
Soup of the day: Canja!
If there is a soup that reminds me of my childhood is Canja. Canja is a very traditional comfort food in Brazil, that kind of food that our grandma or mom would make when we are feeling under the weather I thought this was another dish of Portuguese origins but doing a little research, I…
Minas Cheese
Ever Since I watched the pre-class video of Sandor Katz talking about fermentation and knowing that we would have to choose a method of preservation to try, two of my biggest passions – beer and cheese – were stuck in my mind. As I don’t have the time necessary to make my first beer (we…
Fruit Hunting: Prickly Pear
Being the anxious person that I am, when we had the first assignment to try a new food I went straight for the fruits, something I’ve always loved trying. Had I taken my time to read all the posts we would have to create next, I wouldn’t have jumped the gun on that one. But…
Kensigton Market
Since I moved to Toronto I’ve been wanting to check out the Kensington Market area. I have been there a couple of times but just focused on what I needed to do without exploring the area the way I wanted. With the excuse of having to do an assignment for Food Theory class, I spent…
New flavors: Pomegranate & Grapefruit
On today’s’ assignment, we had to choose a food that we had never tried before and do a sensory evaluation (taste, smell, sight, hearing and touch). Based on this evaluation, we had to make a blog post answering some questions and detailing our first impressions of the new food. I was very excited for this…
Sometimes we just need to be thankful
I never thought I could find something that I would love as much as photography. Every lab class is a battle: 7am have to be in class, impeccable in our uniforms to help the Chef to prepare mise en place. 8am sharp we start cooking, as fast and good as we can cause we are…
My first post in English
If this blog was already kinda crazy, be prepared for what’s to come LOL. In one of my classes we need to build a blog so we can share some of our culinary discoveries. As I already had this baby, my teacher allowed me to use it to post the college assignments, which I think is great…
