Pastry School Diary: Week 29

Pastry School Diary: Week 29

Week 29 of pastry school might have been my most favorite week of the entire course. One of the units in the Higher Culinary Diploma is a gastronomy unit and as part of that unit, our class took a trip to Sorrento, Italy. Our itinerary included a lemoncello factory tour, visiting a buffalo mozzarella farm and […]

Afternoon Tea in London

April 13, 2015 by Beth Meyer

Afternoon Tea in London

One of the most quintessentially British things to do in London is indulge in an afternoon tea. Even though I’ve been living in London nearly (although not continuously) a year and a half, I’ve yet to indulge in this tradition. This was finally rectified when my class had the opportunity to visit The Ritz for afternoon […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 18

Pastry School Diary: Week 18

Week 18 of pastry school was a really up and down week. The week started with an exam, included a mild nervous breakdown in class, afternoon tea at The Ritz and delicious cookies. The week ended on a high note with great news that some of my best friends from college booked their flights to London […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 11

Pastry School Diary: Week 11

I can’t believe I’ve almost completed a quarter of pastry school. Week 11 was a pretty good week consisting of our first try at some items that will be on the practical exam in week 12, a group outing to Borough Market, mulled wine and lots and lots of Christmas music! 🙂 Tuesday: Meringue Pavlova, Floating […]

Expat Thanksgiving

November 30, 2014 by Beth Meyer

Expat Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Mainly because it involves a lot of things I love…food, family/friends and football! Having lived in California for seven Thanksgivings, it’s actually been a holiday that I’ve spent more with friends than family over the past decade, and this will make the fourth Turkey Day in a row that I’ve […]

Columbia Road Flower Market

Columbia Road Flower Market

I’ve recently moved into a new flat in London, but while I was searching, I stayed with a friend and her three housemates for two weeks. I wanted to get them a plant or flowers to include in my thank you gift basket, so I decided to make a trip to the famed-London Columbia Road Flower Market. […]

London Favo(u)rites: Things to do in London

London Favo(u)rites: Things to do in London

After having spent a collective nine months living in London over last year and this, I decided the best way to kickstart the blog again was to put together a list of a few of my London favourites. Favorites, who am I kidding?! My spelling (and misspelling) is pretty much ingrained in me after three decades. […]

Amateur Macaron Extraordinaire

January 10, 2014 by Beth Meyer

Amateur Macaron Extraordinaire

The trip to Paris originated because I noticed that one of my favorite bands would be closing out their European tour in Paris on November 20. And because, it’s Paris and since arriving in London, I’ve wanted to take the train down for a visit. The Local Natives show was (as always!) amazing and surprisingly […]

Paris Bound

November 18, 2013 by Beth Meyer

Paris Bound

Tomorrow I’m going to Paris! I’m so unbelievably, incredibly (insert one million adjectives here) excited! I haven’t been to Paris in 10 years; since I was on study abroad. Once I arrive, I’m going to begin a three day Parisian diet of breads, cheeses, desserts and wine, which will likely have to be combined with […]

Gratitude

October 31, 2013 by Beth Meyer

Gratitude

Yesterday was day one. I’ve decided to try a new project. One that I’m very excited to see where it takes me. I’m going on a Grateful Diet. A bit of context. The wheels were put in motion a while ago when a good friend recommended I read James Altucher’s book, Choose Yourself. My mom […]
