Cinnamon Spice Bun! classic soft fluffy chewy dough with slight crisp on the outside, sweet spicy cinnamon flavor, and of course the delicious icing drizzled on top! Is that a bread or pastry? :O
@@IngaLam not sure if it's comparable but it's pretty different. Maybe croissants from France, milk bread from Japan and red bean pastry from Korea. Or you could do croissants ,baguettes and sourdough bread from every country and see how they make it differently.
@@IngaLam I love the history of many of french pastries not using leavening agents and then Asian pastries developing from French techniques in a more avant-garde manner like the souffle pancakes and such. I particularly love the development of Portuguese pasteis de nata into the Taiwanese and Chinese egg custard tarts
I actually think a video about how you use the leftovers would be interesting. I know ✨I'm✨ cooking for one but not necessarily cooking from scratch/new every day and struggle with thinking of new ways to use my food. Leftovers Lam Style is a series I'd watch (and would be a good way to stretch the content!)
I live in Lyon, and we often see Paris as being a very fast paced city with often cold people and a ''meh'' public transportation. But seeing foreigners talk about it puts things into a more nuanced perspective.
I love the new format you've been trying out like with the pasta recipe videos! As a college student who just started learning how to cook on my own, I think these "trying out ___ food hacks" videos are such a great resource for me because it helps me discover new recipes to try that are very simple to make! What ideas do you have for this series in the future? I'd love to see one about eggs or even rice... 👀
Love how you mentioned that while you do feel very fulfilled, there are moments and days where you don't necessarily always feel like that. It feels a bit more normalizing the fact that working towards the things we want isn't the glamorous story social media likes to tell all the time - and I appreciate that down-to-earthness and genuine sharing w us. :)
I dont find culinary school* worth it, sort of. The best thing to come out of the experience is the connections to established chefs and through them, restaurants. For this reason alone, its a great launching point for a culinary career, but not necessarily better than just sending your resume to a Chef. That being said, everything they teach can be learned on the job and will be mastered through repetition. Straight out of school, most people will be tasked with working a single station (probably garde manger) for the next months or year. You will forget or get rusty with a lot of cooking techniques and will have to learn them anyway from the ground up to match the restaurants particular style. If restaurants are your goal, Its impossible to actually know if culinary school is worth it while in school. Only years later, so I always recommend to people thay they work in a restaurant for a bit to see what its like, before spenind 3k+ and 1-4 years of your adult life. *Pastry might be completely different and seeing the various techniques, styles of baking and nuances from a chef might be actually completely worth it. I'd imagine that going into pastry cold turkey would be really hard. If a pastry chef could let me know, that'd be cool.
I miss france and the bread there. Especially the baguette sandwiches. I'm so happy you got to go and take a bread course there. And I can't wait to see what you have for us this year
Inga, of course we would be interested in a cookbook from you. :) But you'd have to give yourself the room and time to do it, probably do fewer videos in between placing and recipe testing. So only do it if you can be forgiving to yourself of the changes it will mean for your workload. :) We don't want you to burn out over a cookbook. But I will buy it immediately if you do.
My question didn't make it into this but that's ok, j honestly don't care. I'd still watch this video and I did!! Just to see you talking about this incredible journey you had the privilege to go on with such passion and appreciation for, not to mention that we shared it all with us, is all we can all be so grateful for really! Can't wait for the next one ❤❤❤❤.
Loved this recap! ❤You were positively beaming just talking about your experiences. ☺ I fear that you have found your true passion and RUclips might lose you though. 🥲
13:35 : the nervous laugh you have is so funny, i can feel the struggle in your head while you try to find an answer haha. Glad you liked your experience, and if you come back, you should visit Lyon, we havegreat courses too and a reputation about food ^^
Thank you for the Q&A. I'm looking forward to your next in a day. Have you considered doing a new bread themed video? I imagine you can do some interesting things with your new bread skills, for say a Lord of the Rings themed one?
When I studied abroad in 2002, I found most French people very welcoming. The only abuse I got was when I traveled to Italy. There was just an assumption about Americans and a man decided to take all of that out on me. After that encounter, I told people I was Canadian
can i say culinary school is with it if you want to learn to cook so many different things i did it in my high school here in the us for a whole semester and i mastered quite a bit of culinary skills that im proud to have and im thinking about going all in for culinary school but it might also be a on and off thing for me as ill learn more things for cooking.
Inga will you be doing a show and tell with all ur new bread making skills video , would love to see u compare a baguette to the ones u made in Paris ❤
would you ever go to school for other cuisines because imo french cuisine is kinda basic compared to south / east asian lol. (apart from breads ofcourse though i think even indian breads have a lot of variety apart from your normal naan, paratha and roti)
How fluent do you have to be in French to take a course like this? Would you not recommend an experience like this without having a strong grasp of the language?
Loved this video! I could use your advice; I've always liked cooking unique foods but I'm also kinda broke😅do you have any recipes that are kind to the wallet but also exciting to cook ?? 😂🙏 I trust your recommendations.
I've been a fan since 2018. I feel like we watched you grow. Forma doe eyed cheerful vlogger you now look more mature and more confident and more authentic. Years ago you look like a fresh college graduate and now you look like a mom, a boss girl.
To any of my quebecois what do you think of the French comparison to quebec French versus France French 🇫🇷 🇨🇦❤? Interesting topic love your videos as always inga!
Hey Inga, in your google maps snippet i saw that you have all your places marked with these blue squares. Did you know you can actually categorize them with emojis as "pins"? So like a coffee cup for cafes or a baguette for bakeries. Just FYI :) (only works in iPhone though, in my experience)
This was pretty neat! One question that I don't believe was asked was where you were living during this time you were taking the culinary school bread course. Unless Paris does it way differently, I've never heard of any landlords renting out apartments to potential tenants for only two weeks at a time - so where were you living while attending culinary school? I imagine it would be something closer to maybe a hostel if not a friend's place and chipping in for two weeks worth of rent while there.
THAT'S IT. YOU WERE ON BUZZFEED? Idk a lot of ex BF people have an approach to video making that isn't like other produced content. But it is usually always better than the stuff on BF, in my opinion.
I was sick for a month and Inga!, I just wanna say, your videos calmed me down from anxiety and I watched them alll!!!It brought me so much peace I can't comprehend in words , so thank you soo much.,forever grateful. I really appreciate your efforts in everything you do and love you a lott❤️(灬º‿º灬)♡
the nicest french people are the ones who don't live in paris! and the nicest ones in paris are the ones who don't deal with horrible tourists all the time!
When I went to Paris the people were rude and mean I didn't like it I arrived really late to a cafe with my friends and I didn't get anything and the guy taking my order was like why am I even there I should leave
Oh my Inga! You've changed so much these last 4 years. You are becoming a woman! (Also please stop breaking our ears with your cRahssaht...it's krrouahsuuh!)
Amazing to hear about your experience, and thank you for taking us along the journey 🥹 Did you have any difficulties filming or taking photos during school, and did most of the students / instructors speak English?
the courses are taught in English thought most of the terminology we learnt was still in French! Chef also allowed us to take photos etc for personal use, which I greatly appreciated 🥹
if I were a type of bread, what bread would I be though?? do tell.
Focaccia! Bougie, fluffy, crispy, soft. With lots of olive oil and experimental toppings.
Cinnamon Spice Bun! classic soft fluffy chewy dough with slight crisp on the outside, sweet spicy cinnamon flavor, and of course the delicious icing drizzled on top! Is that a bread or pastry? :O
Milk bread!!!!!! The most softest poofy cloud like one!!!!
probably some soft and fluffy bread, but I don't know their names.😂🔨
Brioche❤
Inga can you please do a comparison video of French, Korean, and Japanese pastries?
And throw in Chinese too!
oo what are your favorite breads from each category??
@@IngaLam not sure if it's comparable but it's pretty different. Maybe croissants from France, milk bread from Japan and red bean pastry from Korea. Or you could do croissants ,baguettes and sourdough bread from every country and see how they make it differently.
fluffy steam buns vs baked stuff vs fried doughs??
@@IngaLam I love the history of many of french pastries not using leavening agents and then Asian pastries developing from French techniques in a more avant-garde manner like the souffle pancakes and such. I particularly love the development of Portuguese pasteis de nata into the Taiwanese and Chinese egg custard tarts

ditto!!
I live in Lyon, and we often see Paris as being a very fast paced city with often cold people and a ''meh'' public transportation. But seeing foreigners talk about it puts things into a more nuanced perspective.
Honestly, out of all the youtube/online chefs, I would genuinely buy a cookbook from you!
Inga, absolutely loved your discussion of 'third spaces' in Paris! Thank you for sharing your life experiences, a real treat.
that cost is honestly way less than i thought it'd be!!! an incredible investment that'll last forever
The best spread for bread is definitely tooth butter (Danish for butter spread thick enough to leave tooth marks) 😊
this sounds crazy indulgent, but absolutely delightful
I love the new format you've been trying out like with the pasta recipe videos! As a college student who just started learning how to cook on my own, I think these "trying out ___ food hacks" videos are such a great resource for me because it helps me discover new recipes to try that are very simple to make!

I was thinking rice cooker recipes for a next one? 👀
@@IngaLam Yes that would be perfect!

instead of a cookbook i think a book of technique or balancing flavors would be really cool !
Soggy baguette is a brutal insult 😂😂
I am appalled on the ciabatta’s behalf
Glad you had such a wonderful experience, Inga.
Loved learning more about your Paris experience. Please please please do some bread recipe videos of things you learnt
I'm so happy you enjoyed my city so much! Looking forward to your future culinary adventures!
I miss france and the bread there. Especially the baguette sandwiches. I'm so happy you got to go and take a bread course there. And I can't wait to see what you have for us this year
I love the "ciabatta/soggy baguette" question, purely for how it offended both the French and the Italians at the same time. 😂
Ooh maybe you could make a video inspired by food you ate during your trip?
French food for 24 hours? 👀
You are the definition of motivation ❤ 🌟
It's good to see you bright and happy :)
I wonder, how do you keep socializing, personally and professionally, while working with content creation?
Have you made a behind-the-scenes video yet? I would love to see how you film and edit what you do. I love your channel and your style.
Love you Inga! You're doing amazing
Inga, of course we would be interested in a cookbook from you. :) But you'd have to give yourself the room and time to do it, probably do fewer videos in between placing and recipe testing.

This was great thank you. I am glad you are doing well and that last bit is so exciting!

Yippeee! My question got answered
Ty for sharing! Very informative
I thought French people were really nice and pretty patient. But shhhhh don't tell! They have a reputation to protect!
When I studied abroad in 2002, I found most French people very welcoming.
The only abuse I got was when I traveled to Italy. There was just an assumption about Americans and a man decided to take all of that out on me.
After that encounter, I told people I was Canadian
With you being such a huge bread lover, I would love to see a video of you living like a coeliac, to push your pastry and bread making skills!
thank you really love you content .
Hi Inga, Can you apply what you learned in school in your home kitchen, ie; bake an acceptable baguette with the tools and facilities you have?
can i say culinary school is with it if you want to learn to cook so many different things i did it in my high school here in the us for a whole semester and i mastered quite a bit of culinary skills that im proud to have and im thinking about going all in for culinary school but it might also be a on and off thing for me as ill learn more things for cooking.
Have u heard of the anime Yakitate Japan? It’s a food anime about bread baking! As a bread fan highly recommend!
is this where the 324 layer croissant is from
@@IngaLam Yes!😊
i love you stay yourself and keep going 😍
Inga will you be doing a show and tell with all ur new bread making skills video , would love to see u compare a baguette to the ones u made in Paris ❤
Hi Inga! When you say “restaurant guide coming soon” how soon? 🥺 Currently planning a trip to Paris and eagerly awaiting your recs!
likely sept/oct! 🤞
Since you know the taste, textures of baguettes, where have you find good French baguettes in NYC?
I love this channel
Parisians being rude is probably dependent on your identity (ie are you Muslim, black etc)
Q&A! 😊
pls sell it internationally!! i cant wait~~
would you ever go to school for other cuisines because imo french cuisine is kinda basic compared to south / east asian lol. (apart from breads ofcourse though i think even indian breads have a lot of variety apart from your normal naan, paratha and roti)

Hey Inga, in your google maps snippet i saw that you have all your places marked with these blue squares. Did you know you can actually categorize them with emojis as "pins"? So like a coffee cup for cafes or a baguette for bakeries. Just FYI :) (only works in iPhone though, in my experience)
this is a game changer!!! thank you, brb, gonna edit
@@IngaLam Glad I could help haha, I usually also comment the pin as well, like where I found the spot or what is the most recommended dish :)

Please make a cook book! I have never bought something from a youtuber before, but I would run so fast and grab my wallet if you came out with one
Try duolingo… would be awesome for up you to spend a year and complete cordon bleu course
How do I bake bread without an oven?

did most of the students there speak French or English? or a mix?
Having lived in Paris, does it make you view the current Summer Olympics in a different way?
kind of wishing I stuck around for the Olympics! but thought it was pretty cool that i got to see some of the preparation work go underway

I'm so happy Paris was so good to you. Paris has been getting a really bad reputation lately.😊
Everyone seems to have gathered at Watcher. Is there a conversation?
can’t speak to it personally, but can understand the comfort of working with great ex-colleagues!

all good things come to an end 😞 i left before the channel was discontinued, but i believe it was a bigger top down company decision
