Kuya Andrew has been managing their family’s bakery business, Mam Bebs for quite some time now. And I have been assisting him with it. Last Saturday, my aunt (the Mam Bebs) told us that we have to learn how to bake.

A couple of summers ago, another aunt taught me how to bake some pastries. And I enjoyed it. I enjoyed measuring, mixing, following the recipes step-by-step. It might sound geeky, but it kinda reminded me of my days in the laboratory as a science student.

Next week, Kuya and I are going to attend the Basic Bread Making Workshop of the Center for Asian Culinary Studies here in Davao City. The course details are as follows:

BASIC BREAD MAKING WORKSHOP

Learn how to make it with Chef Jun Jun de Guzman and enjoy two days of making the following breads; French Rolls, Potato Bread, Walnut Bread, Cuban Bread, Dinner Rolls, and a lot more.

I am already very excited to learn how to bake bread, which I heard, is much harder than baking pastries.
