Last weekend I was invited for a masterclass at Bengaluru Baking Company(BBC) at JW Marriott, Bengaluru along with a few other foodies. BBC is one of the trendiest networking hubs in the city. It is a classic pastry shop. Within a short span of time BBC has become Sip and Surf destination – perfect for a quick coffee before heading to a movie, a sumptuous lunch after shopping, ideal meeting venue for professionals or even a quiet space for people who want recreation.

The next to be demonstrated was the Jamaican Jerk.

It looked like a burger, but it was not a burger. It was made up of tomato focaccia bread. This iconic Caribbean jerk seasoning gets its kick from a blend of ingredients such as chillies, thyme, cinnamon, garlic and nutmeg.

Then we learnt to make Caprese Sandwich which was crunchy.

This was an amazing sandwich as we could hear that crunch while biting into it. The classic Caprese salad of juicy tomatoes with fresh Buffalo mozzarella and fragrant basil made it a fantastic vegetarian sandwich. The bread used was Ciabatta.

Can something be more romantic than melted chocolate oozing out of a cake? The process of making it was very simple. I will be trying this one soon and will share the recipe with you all.

Overall the entire afternoon was a good one, spent learning 4 types of Gourmet dishes and then chit-chatting with the Chef’s and the foodies. We tasted all the 4 dishes. I loved the Taco Salad the most and since I have decided to eat healthy, I will surely make this salad too. The chocolate lava cake will surely surprise my Valentine on the upcoming Valentine’s day.
