April 7, 2017 by Beth Meyer

Chocolate Avocado Mousse

Yesterday was filled with twelve hours of packing to move 2200 miles across the country (AGHHH!!), and therefore, I got a bit delayed in posting this weeks Baking With Beth recipe. If you missed the announcement on Instagram in early March, I’m moving to Atlanta! After eight and a half years living in Los Angeles, I decided the […]

Academy Awards 2017: Red Carpet Cuisine Themed Oscar Menu

For the 2017 Academy Awards, I was commissioned to cater an annual Oscar party. No, not the Governors Ball but the coveted invite-only Jewels & Jammies 2017. A themed Oscar menu was planned to represent all nine Best Picture nominees. As with an good themed menu, puns were involved. Following pastry school, I’ve been hired here and there to create dessert bars […]

Churros and Chocolate Recipe

Churros and Chocolate Recipe

After eating some of the most delicious churros and chocolate in Spain, I couldn’t wait to get in the kitchen and make them myself! Churros are a fried pastry dough made from Choux paste, which can also be used to make other delicious pastries like eclairs and profiteroles (cream puffs). Those Spanish shepherds were really on to […]

Churros and Chocolate in Spain

September 1, 2015 by Beth Meyer

Churros and Chocolate in Spain

One of the pastries most ubiquitous with Spain are churros. Traditionally churros and chocolate are a popular Spanish breakfast item, or an early morning snack after a long night out. When I booked my trip, I was on a quest to seek out all of the churros and chocolate in Spain. I mean how could anyone possibly […]

Pastries of Paris

Pastries of Paris

My dad and stepmom rented an apartment in Paris for the month of June, and since I’m just a short train ride away in London, visiting my family seemed like the perfect reason for a long weekend in the City of Light. That, and eating all the pastries of Paris. You know, for research. One […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 24

Well, we’ve done it. Pastry school is half way over and I’ve graduated from the International Patisserie Diploma portion of the course. We now have two weeks off before starting the higher culinary diploma portion of the course. It’s going to feel weird once we go back not to be in the kitchen with the […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 15

Week 15 in pastry school went pretty well. Our schedule in the classroom (kitchen) is becoming more packed leaving less time for breaks, but it’s really good for us to be pushed a little harder and learn more skills. I had my first meeting this week with the culinary international students (myself and a couple of […]
