Healthy Eating - recommendations unaffected by...

Because things change and we have to up date!* For nearly two decades, the U.S. government distilled its nutrition advice into pyramids. These efforts didn’t accurately show people what makes up a healthy diet. Why? Their recommendations were based on out-of-date science and influenced by people with business interests in the messages the icons sent. Now we have better alternatives: the...

Redescubre la Hamburguesa!

. The best burger EVER. I’m not exaggerating!! And I come from a place where we take this burger thing seriously. You might not know Rio Grande do Sul - the southernmost state in Brazil - but over there we even have a specific name for our massive burgers, as we say ‘XIS’ (read “sheez”). Also we know “a bit” about what is good meat (whether Argentinians...

Hofmann School

The other day I was thinking that I’d never referred what my course at Hofmann School consist in.. The Cook’s Complete Formacion: Covering professional techniques in the kitchen with emphasis in French cuisine, Spanish, modern cuisine and management. I chose this course because it seemed good value for money, especially compared to other courses around the world. I’m not saying...

Music Makes Wine Taste Better

It has long been known that you should pair your wine with your food. But a new study reveals wine drinkers should also consider what’s playing on the stereo if they want the perfect tipple. The study shows that people who drink wine while listening to music perceive the wine to have the same taste characteristics of the particular artist.

The first classeS...

 We are on our 3rd class and we aren't talking just about lexicon any more..
 The first practical class (wednesdays) was pretty exciting and the theoretical ones (monday) have a lot of demonstrative moments - how to boill a perfect poached egg or how exactly to cut a vegetable on a la bouquetiere shape o.O =)). 
 We started the practical class doing the 'mise en place', and then we cut some vegetables on specifical geometrical pre defined shapes. 
 Number of knife injuries on the first practical class - 5/20 students! lol
 It didn't happen to me, but my fingers are already all chopped cause of my work at the cafe /o\ def I need to be more careful..

The first class...

: We had some quick explanations about specific vocabulary (and in Spanish, which for me makes it even harder), some abbreviations and some words about our moral values as a cook.
: Oswald - the teacher- gave us the a book about professional techniques and (this was more exciting!) the material for the practical classes: chef jackets, kitchen rags and THE KNIVES!
: Next class will be kind of the same.. theoretical, because we aren't actually able to cook yet.
 Even if I'm doing great it on the Cafe... But I'll do awesome then! o/
