Bay Area Blogger of the Week # 38

Ms. Glaze's Pommes d'Amour



I recently became acquainted with the adorable Ms Glaze, via her smartly-written blog and I quickly became hooked on her story. Ms Glaze has been training at the Cordon Bleu Chef School in Paris and I first caught up with her on the same day she had been given a list of ingredients for her final exam. To say she was disappointed would be an understatement. I think I would have some trouble getting immediately excited about a menu based on pigeon, foie gras mousse, peas and artichokes too. Especially the pigeon part.

Ms Glaze has had a few weeks since that fateful day to ponder and practice the dish she is going to serve up for Le Cordon Bleu examiners next week. I felt her suffering when she experienced bouts of insecurity about her menu and then licked my lips as she started to practice elements of her proposed dish.

As if this wasn't enough excitement for one month: Ms Glaze also had to deal with the stresses of preparing for a stage at Guy Savoy, no less. Despite a set of nerves you wouldn't expect from an actress, Ms Glaze clinched the staging deal and so will get to realise the Guy Savoy part of her dream. Congratulations are in order!

By now you might be wondering why I am featuring Paris-based food blog as my current Bay Area Blogger of the Week. Well, it's simple really. Although Ms Glaze admits that she definitely loves living in Paris, to her San Francisco will always be home. And her dream is that someday she will come back to the Bay Area and open her own Bistro/Cabaret where she might showcase the amazing talents of the Bay Area through food, music, and drama. That's a local enough girl for me.

So please, dear readers, pop over and check out Ms Glaze's wonderful Love Apples, congratulate her on her success so far, wish her luck with the upcoming exam and implore that she comes back home to open up that Bistro sooner rather than later. We're all waiting for you!



PS. Looks like The San Francisco Chronicle's 'illustrious' Food Editor Michael Bauer is actually surprising me with his take on blogging. He is already drifting away from the subject of food with today's entry that is more worthy of an entry into Weekend Dog Blogging.
