About Me

My photo
Many things (both good and less good) have happened in my life lately, so in November 2013 I decided to take a break from the "Corporate world" to sort out my life situation. One of many things that I decided to do was to learn more about cooking, because food has always been a passion of mine. From my native Vietnam to my home country Norway, my life journey has taken me to many beautiful countries such as Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Australia, Malaysia, where I truly got exposed to the food culture, which may reflect in my home-cooked dishes. With this site, I hope to inspire and encourage you to take a break (short, long, or very long - you decide) and do what you love doing but that you haven't set a date for. Just do it, make it happen :) Kort oppsummert: Norsk-Vietnameser i Paris pa jakt etter mening med livet...

Maison Emil attending Ferrandi Paris

Maison Emil wanted to turn cooking passion into something more, and has thus decided to apply at Ferrandi Paris. So glad that I got accepted, and hopefully it won't be a regrettable decision.

Ferrandi is a culinary school specialised in French cuisine and pastry. Created in 1920 in Paris and today governed by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Paris, it is highly regarded in the culinary world of France. Let's not dwell into the reasons why this and not another culinary school, but suffice to say that Ferrandi Paris met my school selection objective.

Maison Emil is excited to learn as much as possible from fellow culinary lovers, career-switchers as well as the professional chefs teaching this program.

Feb 4th - First day @Ferrandi  
Today has been a bit overwhelming; administrative orientation, visits of huge pastry and kitchen labs, interaction with relaxed yet professional chefs.
What to expect in the coming months? Hard work and long hours in the kitchen lab, professionalism such as punctuality, respect and integrity, increased technical skills, and plenty of delicious cooked meals :)

Feb 5th - Day 2 @Ferrandi
Off to get uniforms @Bragard (apparently this is THE uniform shop in Paris). So excited...

Le Premier Restaurant - a training restaurant
Maison Emil will be cooking for clients dining in this training restaurant in the very near future.





Wish me luck,

Maison Emil Paris :)
