Food as Art; Food is Art
By Gabriela on October 26, 2011
Over the last two years of blogging, I’ve learned a lot about how to plate food, how to photograph food, and just how beautiful food can be.

A la Carte Brunch
By Gabriela on October 25, 2011
Brunch day! I think today felt the longest of any school day so far. It wasn’t bad at all, just really tiring! We continued our prep work as soon as we arrived this morning. There was a log to do from 9:15-11:30, so we got right to it. First I helped chop and supreme fruits for the [...]

Millefeuille
By Gabriela on October 21, 2011
Even after yesterday’s cupcake excursion, this Friday deserved another special treat. After a productive but tiring week at school, I decided to stop into another bakery I’ve been eyeing up: Millefeuille, a hole-in-the-wall place near NYU’s campus that specializes in millefeuille pastries and Parisian-style macarons. The place was small but cute. I loved that they [...]
