XXI Century Molecular Kitchen With Wojciech Modest Amaro

One of the adventures everyone of us is taking upon every day is...cooking. Judging from some of my friends and mine experiences, quite frankly it is not the easiest adventures in our lives. It's a lot of messing up, mixing, time management and stress there...

There are, of course the cook books that are suppose to guide us during those experiences and discoveries. And there is a Polish ones to, that our mothers, grandmothers and grand grand mothers commonly used for years.

But modern cuisine is something more than those old granny books. We all see that and we are all eager to bring some freshness and sexiness to our kitchens. That's why programs like "Simply Cook" ("Po prostu gotuj") with Pascal Brodnicki or Jamie Oliver series are so extremely popular. It's because we all search for this perfect recipe there.

The XXI Century Gastronomy by W.M. Amaro*

And here I went, just last night, to a event that has changed my way of thinking of cooking totally. It was a promotion of a book of Wojciech Modest Amaro titled "Kuchnia XXI wieku" (XXI Century Kitchen). Not writing too much about the event itself (it was really nice though), the food was simply spectacular and brilliant.

It's because Wojciech Amaro uses a "molecular kitchen" technique that, simply saying, means using the lab techniques and science in everyday life cooking. So, we have a lot of liquid nitrogen there, fantastic creamy coups in test tubes or spheric Apple raviolis.

But I will say no more, just that you should really try (I can't wait to do that and let you know about this) :)

Now, let th dishes say for themselves....

The book is aprox. 50 PLN (so I was told), so I think good price for students ;)

An Alternative Adventure...what inspires me

A big adventure of mine - my new work in a public relations agency is one of those inspiring adventures I love to take upon every day!

My job is my passion and I am not afraid to admit that!

And here is little something I would like to share with you - something that inspires me and helps to be creative at work.

This is a link to a great campaign prepared by Click5 agency for he brand of juices Tymbark. This is really cool (sorry, only in Polish), as the campaign puts together several intriguing communication channels and engages participants the way that they interact with the brand and stay connected to the brand for a couple of months.

So, here is the link and hopefully - next time I will be able to show you something of my own ;)

So much going on in Warsaw!

OK, I have to admit - I was a very bad girl for my blog! I totally abandoned it for no reason what so ever! Sure there was so much going on, but that's no excuse.

But, hey look what kind of fascinating adventures Mario and I experienced recently after moving in to Warsaw. Yes, we did that, for good living Manchester (Mario says "never say never", so for now I just assume it's for good).

It was good, all that living in Manchester, being a student and working in an English companies thing, but it was time for us to settle in in Warsaw. Sure, it does not mean we leave partying, discovering and enjoying ourselves behind. Truly, it just is a beginning of it!

So, to sum things up, the newest adventures include:

1. Moving in to Warsaw, obviously, which basically means totally new world for us. I thought it is just England that varies so much from one "-shire" to another. Seriously -it's the opposite! People here seemed to me to not only speak a different language (what's with ending every sentence with "yes"?......), but also they live fast here, extremely one could say.

In the Łazienki Park

But it's not like Warsaw is this scary place where a girl like I feels left alone and like a stranger. Get me right - i think anyone can find there place here! And what's more if you do love events, parties, meeting new people, musicals and all that "city lights" you simply should try Warsaw! It is so much going on here!

On the Chopin's music concert in Łazienki Park

2. Leaving Rzeszów - that's understandable with no further explanations needed. One could think that after living for two years in a different country, on your own in your very apartment, you would not be missing your own home-city. But again - it's nothing like that.

It is better when we are together...

I guess, it is amazing to be able, like us, to regularly come visit your dearest ones in a place where you have been bruoght up and where all the good memories are.

But there are new, fantastic memories waiting for us here, so I want to believe.

So, there soon will be more on an amazing adventures of the Crucian and her Beloved One...
