 Pastry Geek: Colors and How to Make the Most of Them in Your Pastries

Oct, 13 2015 14:10

It is a part of my nature to be a pastry geek. If I hadn’t discovered the wonderful world of food and cooking, I wholeheartedly believe I would have been a scientist. Method, process and detail is what I live for.

 Yigit Pura’s Bulletproof Coffee

Oct, 13 2015 14:10

Coffee is the reason why I wake up in the morning. As someone who works long hours, coffee keeps me sane. Caffeine rejuvenates me. But it’s more than just a functional food. Coffee is from nature, so the way it’s treated from soil to cup matters. And so I’m grateful to live in San Francisco, home to many a great cup of coffee. People here consider the bean, the roasting of the bean and the grind.

 Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Flake Sea Salt

Oct, 13 2015 14:10

These are a wonderful sweet treat, with a couple of small shifts to the classic chocolate chip cookie recipe. A sure way to put a smile on friends’ faces, be they nine or ninety. There are days that I try to be inconspicuous at Tout Sweet (a “secret shopper” of sorts), and it is a joy to watch people’s faces light up as they bite into this simple cookie.

 How to Get the Most Out of any Local Farmer’s Market

Oct, 13 2015 13:10

Opening a stand at the San Francisco Farmer’s Market was the result of my passion and business acumen for the pastry industry. Often, we’ll interact with other vendors on the weekends to obtain a sense of what’s current and what’s happening.

 Grumpy Cat gets her very own copy of Sweet Alchemy!

Hello Foodies! I just got this photo text from my publisher and had to share… GRUMPY CAT got her very own copy of Sweet Alchemy, and surprise – she’s not amused. We think it’s because she’s not allowed to try our sweets. Grumpy Cat is my ultimate celebrity crush. Here in the Sweet Alchemy Kitchen, life is complete.

Welcome to the Tout Sweet blog! People have been asking me to start a blog for years – a place to share what’s going on in the patisserie, at our San Francisco Ferry Building and Farmer’s Markets stands, what’s fresh and what’s exciting.
