On 26 June, 5 boys from our school led by YWPS Creative Editor Miss Muriel Ma and our English teacher Mr Richard Woods visited a famous Swiss pastry chef who runs his business in Hong Kong. Here's a post-event reflection from Alfie Zhu (6E), one of our boys who had joined this:
I munched the bread Chef Gregoire baked for us. Its taste was rich, the texture soft, and the enchanted aroma flew into my heart. It was purely delicious!
When I stepped into Bread Elements, the classic baking aroma already woke my stomach up. Here, Chef Gregoire Michaud taught us how we could make traditional and delicious bread. Instead of relying purely on machines, he did most of the shaping of the dough by hand. Also, he chose his ingredients by getting the best wheat to make his flour. All the effort meant the bread was at the highest quality.
I asked him, "Do you think that bakery is your job, your hobby, your destiny or just a piece of art?” He replied me without a single second of hesitation, "It is all of the above you have just mentioned.” One who does not love bakery would not have said that.
