Think Out of the Shell Cookbook Volume II Launch and The NutriPlus Pastry Competition

A New Cookbook & A Pastry Competition!

Think Out of the Shell Cookbook Volume II Launch

An obsession with cookbooks, I am always hungry for more. When Quay Po Cooks extended an invitation to the launch of Think Out of the Shell Cookbook Volume II Launch, I immediately agree with excitement. A big Thank You to Quay Po for the invite! I have already owned the Think Out of the Shell Volume I, so it’s without any doubt that I must have Volume II.

The cookbook is a collection of recipes with bakers from all over together in partnership with NutriPlus and published by My Nourishment Sdn. Bhd. Featuring 11 bakers and a hoard of their recipes, there is a little something of everything baked from the heart!

Arriving early, I managed to check out some of the goodies on display for sampling by the enthusiast bakers. From breads, to cakes, pastries and more, everything dessert and bread is a sight to behold.

I caught up with two judges of the completion that day. Quay Po Cooks, aka Veronica Davis, is the author of Quay Po Cooks, who won hearts of everyone for her genuine love for her family, friends and her love of food! Her blog is a journey of joy and sharing, reflecting what the French like to call the "joie de vivre" (joy of living). Her wish is to inspire those who do not know how to cook or bake to do so. She has tested and tasted 300 over recipes of which, many were featured in the Asian Food Channel (Official) Facebook page.

Chef Niklesh Sharma of the Academy of Pastry Arts Malaysia was once the executive pastry chef of the Renaissance KL. An award-winning and highly experienced chef, he has a strong base in hotel development and pastry kitchen upgrades
