Butter and Brioche
Today's site from creative cook Thalia Ho offers a highly artistic cooking blog
complete with eye-opening photography. Gentle Subscribers who appreciate that
recipes can be more than a list of ingredients will find this award winning
blog an admirable publication.
"I come from a generation of European bakers. ... There's something to be said
for the power of a baked good. ... I'm a self-taught baker. And my cooking is
based around both memory and flavor, from my European and Asian heritage,
childhood, young-adulthood, and travels. ... It's about food that forms
narrative and memory." - from the website
Eschewing the more typical designs of cooking blogs, Ms. Ho sets off on her own
creative culinary path. With a clever eye for realistic food presentation which
avoids looking "styled" but still manages to convey a mouth-watering
sensibility, the dishes resonate as being within the reach of the ambitious
cook to achieve. Focusing primarily on the sweet side of cookery, the blog
delights in such dishes as Grey Sea Salt Caramel Brioche Doughnuts, Vanilla
Bean Chamomile Cake with Honey Mousseline Buttercream (wearing a wreath of
flowers) and a Raspberry, Rose, and Rye Galette. Each recipe is accompanied not
only by sure-handed photography but evocative stories and commentary as well.
