An event that funded by European Union, Cream of Europe. It was held at Almond Zucchini Cooking Studio which is a really nice place especially for cooking enthusiasts. As I know that dairy consumption here in Indonesia is way below countries in Europe, yes at home we don't use much dairy especially cream. But in hotels and restaurants, it is surely very important, delectable cakes and pasties need a good quality of cream for even rich and delicate result.
Baking demo by Chef Gerald A Maridet from Pullman Jakarta and Chef Putri Miranti was very attractive, also we got a chance to taste the final products. My favorite from Chef Gerald was Religieuse with Paris Brest Cream, super adorable choux pastry with nutty and creamy filling, it was the winner. While Chef Putri made Black Glutinous Rice Cake in Indonesia known as Bolu Ketan Hitam, I am impressed, it was beautiful by appearance yet delightful bites. It took a simple Indonesian cake to the whole new level, topped with cream and fresh fruits, inspired me to make one at home.
Honestly, I use cream for cooking and baking not often but when I do, European cream is always my first choice. As my favorite brand Elle & Vire can be found at most of supermarket here in Indonesia, very convenient yet the results never disappoint me.
