        What a treat for the eyes and the taste buds! 🍇✨ The craftsmanship in these dishes is evident, and your photography beautifully showcases that care and precision. How do you decide what new dishes or flavors to add to your menus? 🙌🏼🍽️

          @Sol Damiani Thank you! I usually let the seasons, local ingredients, and my mood in the kitchen guide me. Sometimes it starts with a memory or a flavor I’m curious to explore—then I build the dish from there.

            @burcusayar That’s such a thoughtful and intuitive approach! It’s like composing a story on a plate, with nature and your creativity as co-authors. 🌱✨ Keep trusting that instinct!

          What a wonderful variety, Burcu! I loved seeing all those beautifully shaped and tempting laminated pastries.
          The lamination looks perfectly executed, and each piece has such a distinct personality.
          It’s so interesting to see how you connect classic techniques with such a personal concept like Padoca.
          What part of the process was the most challenging for you? I’d love to hear more about how you found that balance between tradition and creativity!

          Congratulations on the result—they look absolutely delicious! ❤️

            @Sussan Estela Olaya Thank you so much, Sussan! I think tradition gives me the foundation, and creativity is what makes it mine. At Padoca, I try to respect classic techniques while letting the ingredients, seasons, and stories around me guide the rest.
