This is the Greek show from where i wasnt only inspired but also learned how to bake some of the basic stuff. Some of the information I needed for the history behing confectioney is also taken from here.
Parliaros is one of the most famous chefs in Greece and Cyprus and confectionery is his speciality.
the rocky chocolate bars

Some of the pictures included in the cookbook. I tried to manipulate the shading to make it look like part of the world. All images are from still life and in the same style as the cover.
lemon loaf
The cover of the cookbook im making. The title of it will be '' Where are you from''
A page of my sketchbook, I used the map of the world to create a muffin. The point of the project is to show that we live in a multicultural world. I used pastries from different places and combined them to show that we never really know where is something from.Originality is one of the main reasons of racism as well.

Some photography i did during the whole baking process
mixing process


brlueberry,oats and raising cookies
Chocolate, raisins and peanuts
Rocky bars chocolates with marshmallows, coconut and bounty bar was one of my favourite recipes. The final outcome not only it tasted good but also looked good.
While working for this project i had to be back home, where i found out about a cake called Geography cake. My mum gave me the recipe and i made it, unfortunately i have no pictures of the final outcome.However another interesting cake i made was the lemon cake combined with milk chocolate.
Some chocolate muffins combined with dark chocolate used for Sacher cake and mint( English kendall mint cake)


Moving on i decided to make my own recipes with ingridients combined by recipes from all over the world since travelling is another of my favourite things.
Here are the pictures of the final outcome of some of the pastries.
Here are the marshmallow brownies that were a combination of the traditional french brownies and marshmallows  taken from the english marshamallow cupcakes
