Sharing My Passion for Food with other Filipino Foodies

Last October 16, 2010 (Saturday), I attended a food writing workshop called, "Eat, Write, Love" in Adarna Food & Culture restaurant. 

Behind the Scenes with my Official Favorite Food Writer

Remember my post about 12 Baskets last week and the short story about Fred's egg tarts? Well here's the continuation. This is a story about writing a story - the behind the scenes with my official favorite food writer. :) 


It all began when I decided to make my first fondant cake for RJ's birthday in Fred's kitchen in 12 Baskets. I wrote a three part entry on that cake: part 1, part 2 and part 3. Anyway, since I kept failing at separating the egg whites from the egg yolks, we finished up a whole tray of eggs when the recipe only asked for 6 eggs. Oops. Fred then decided to make a batch of egg tarts to make use of leftover eggs. 

Who knew that I would actually end up liking the impromptu egg tarts that he made that day. These egg tarts are not yet part of the bakeshop's selection of goodies. They are still in the process of being perfected in Fred's kitchen so I was one of the first people to taste it. They were warm, yellow with that fresh from the oven aroma - beautiful :)

The following day, as I was going through my usual blog reading list, I saw Lori's post on dessertcomesfirst.com, "The Search for the Elusive Egg Tart (A Plea)"
