Welcome Bread Basket!

Bread Basket's Sven Schneider and wife Haza signed up for a Macaroons private class with At 19 Culinary Studio on 9 Feb 2012. For those of you who may not be familiar with Bread Basket, it is a german swiss bakery @ Bangsar South and Sven Schneider is the boss. Bread Basket is toying with the idea of selling macaroons at their bakery. We thought it was a good idea since all Malaysians have a sweet tooth.

It was an honour that Sven and wife Haza came to At 19 Culinary Studio to learn how to bake macaroons. So, don't forget when you buy and have a taste of Bread Basket's macaroons, you may find a bit of At 19 Culinary in it too! By the way, At 19 Culinary Studio also bake to order swiss gourmet bread & pastries you find at Bread Basket.

Psst! Cupcake Chic's owner, Joanne Ho also came to our culinary studio to attend our Macaroons 101 Workshop in May 2011 prior to the launch of their macaroons range last year. Read our blog story at http://at19culinary.blogspot.com/2011/05/welcome-cupcake-chic.html

Young Hands Master Food Photography @ At 19 Culinary Studio

At 19 Culinary Studio conducted a special kind of class on 6 Dec which inter-twines creative photography and culinary skills in a collaborative effort with Exes Photography’s ‘The All Juniors’ Programme’.

As part of the programme, young aspiring shutterbugs teens will participate in a challenge to bake, decorate and put their talents to test to capture the best photographs of their culinary and food creations and eventually getting the right techniques and professional guidance in producing food photography.

This food photography collaboration programme is an exciting and interesting experience for the teenagers because it is an entertaining school holiday programme, focusing on educating, inspiring and developing the creativity of the younger generations. Teenagers aged 13–18 years old will have the opportunity to develop their interest in photography a step further by discovering and learning the essential skills from professional photographers while having fun in shoot out challenges in various locations.

At 19 Culinary Studio, these teen enthusiasts experienced a hands-on cupcakes baking and decorating session. The theme chosen for this challenge is Underwater World where the children will create underwater world creature designs out of fondant icing under the guidance of a cake decorator. Once they have completed their creations, the kids will get a chance to learn how best to take photographs of their decorated masterpieces in a professional way.

Private Class: Comptel Communications - 28 Nov & 1 Dec

The cooking class for a group training cum dinner organised for Comptel Communications was fun, fun, fun. What a way to close a training session of fellow colleagues from South East Asia and Europe, all under one roof, cooking away to savour their hard work of delicious Asian dishes afterwards.

Many of the participants were from Europe and their first time to South East Asia. Boy! For first timers, they sure can take spicy. The theme chosen by their local comrades was "Asian Flavours" and the recipes were Thai Mango Salad, Nyonya Baked Fish and Tom Yam Seafood Soup!

Everyone had fun decorating their dishes to show case their best presentation for the dishes to earn brownie points from Chef Khai. Creativity ruled the day and yes, it was a fund and delicious culinary experience. Bravo Comptel!
