Beyond the foodverse

This place explores new ways of cooking, eating, drinking, creative kitchens, underground bars.... All posts are my experiences from yet beyond my understanding and ways of cooking. But of which I get inspired !

Japanese pastries & me flexin with my recipe notebook x)

Japanese pâtisserie unboxing. Usagiya Strasbourg, new franco-japanese pastry concept shop, deserves a big heads up for their savoir-faire. The owner worked 10 years in Japan before returning to her home country, Alsace (un brin chauvin oui). Wanted to try everything so I took one of each (a bit pricy tho), their Dorayakis are insanely good, among their other pastries.

Why Antony Bourdain is still a great inspiration to me. Sit down, be humble.

Maria’s method for onion pickles 

pretty self explanatory (let them up to 3 weeks to marinate in cider / red wine vinegar, in closed jars)

One of the best weekends I’ve had lately! Gone to a friend’s house in the alsacian countryside, had a lil’ hike, homemade brioche, homemade apple cake & great cheese, & of course, schnaps and beer!

Tasting Alfajores for the first time (crispy sandy dulce de leche sandwiches)

Pretty good, but very dry!

Alsace 2019′s wine muscat harvest. Not sure it belongs here (is wine food? kinda) 

If you’re into wine, you should try to do the harvesting once. You eat well, you drink a lot, you sure do work hard, and get drenched by the heavy rain we have fall september. But it’s fun, you meet people and the landscape’s gorgeous! (and you get free bottles)

Sometimes you got to let game designer’s life get to you. Raclette ! 

Strange luxurious holidays with my ancient studio bosses. 

One week of foodie paradise and fast cars. Can’t say more.

Had my first Krispy Creme doughnuts in 2014, on some Taipei’s square.   

Can’t complain. These were the absolute thing. We don’t have any doughnuts shops in France. I miss those so much (not saying they’re the best tho, Dunkin’s are great too)
