Friday night, Atelier Mmmmh, Antwerp –Lacroix, Mec Interaction and BuzzParadise have organised a Food Workshop for the Belgian blogosphere.
With a reception of scents, flavours and glasses of white wine, chef Luc Merckx warms up the spirit of the whole group before even getting started with the lessons.
On the programme of this evening, 3 exceptional elements:
• A good cuisine (Italian of course…)
• The Lacroix Stocks (the savoury base of all our meals)
• A convivial atmosphere
Although the 7 bloggers that were invited did not know each other before the event, this initiative – sponsored by Lacroix – gave them the opportunity to become inseparable cooks for the night!
In the first instance: preparation of the dishes. Under the watchful eye of chef Luc, the bloggers got ready for one of the most perilous exercises, the mastery of the stock!
Besides, it is this moment that our cooking starlets, equipped with their apron and cutting board, choose to express a dynamic similar to a great friendship!
The culinary competences of each invited blogger had been put to the test. A flawless organization for the chef apprentices who were hungry!
Ewoud de Stew.be became « the mixer » of risotto.
Uw Moeder de Appelogen and Nicole de Bonoboz the vegetable cutters.
Evelien de Hungryfeelings and Caroline de Avocado van de Duivel were in charge of the final fruit salad.
Kato de Limoblogt mastered the frying pan with the « bruschettas » like an Italian.
Luckily, Annick de Bonoboz was present to immortalise the event in the eyes of the international press!
The dishes concocted by everyone with love and passion were sampled immediately. The Flemish assistants were unanimous when qualifying this dish as one of the most divines!
They were generously given thanks by Isabel De Laet, brand manager for Lacroix, who offered everyone a basket full of surprises and Lacroix products. An appreciating wink from the bloggers and my stomac!!
This evening allowed us to understand to what extent cooking can be a relaxing and fun activity that creates exceptional interactions. A preparation that wouldn’t, no doubt, have been the same without the Lacroix stocks and their marvelous savouries.
