It's the first official press for YB, so yes, I'm super excited. Hopefully this leads to many more such opportunities. This was also the first time I ever met so many other bloggers, or went to a bloggers event [I always had something come up for the others, and even begged off a few times, feeling intimidated]. And now I think, why wasn't I doing this more often?? It was a lot of fun, though very different from my regular social life! This was a gathering of mostly highly achieved women!
There was also another event I'd been invited to, which I really had a great experience at. It was part of this French Pastry promotion, and Le Cordon Bleu was one of the organisers, along with Sopexa. Chef Christian Faure was doing a tour of India, and they invited the press and a few of us bloggers to the event. I didn't expect much, but hearing Chef Faure speak was truly inspirational. He's a MOF, and heads LCB, Ottawa, which basically means he's pretty phenomenal. Before the event, I spoke to him, and he helped a lot with my confusion over culinary school. During the demo, we were shown how he comes about creating a dish, and its execution. According to him, a pastry is equal parts emotion and technique. It was a lot of fun, and gave me a lot of insight, I just felt inspired after the demo, I couldn't really explain it. Oh, Jyotika has some awesome pictures posted of this event too, including a goofy one of me!
I also met Chef Faure at another event while he was in Mumbai, where he was creating gorgeous pulled sugar beauties.
He made this pulled sugar rose for me, which I shall treasure forever. It's made by a MOF, how can I not??
Oh and also, I finally created a Facebook page for the blog, go on over and 'Like' it, because I just know you totally love this blog :)
