WHAT IS “SUGARED & SPICED”
Sugared & Spiced 是一个美食+旅游博客,记载着我在上海以及世界各地的吃喝玩乐。
Sugared & Spiced is a food + travel blog based in Shanghai, chronicling my culinary adventures in China and around the world.

HOW DID “SUGARED & SPICED” START
因为爱吃。转行成为甜点师之前我是一名公司职员,做着行销销售的工作,不过那时就已经对和食物相关的一切充满热情了。空闲时间总是在探索新的餐厅、咖啡店、酒吧,渐渐地家人和朋友都开始跟我要推荐,于是干脆开始写博客了。
I was working in sales & marketing before I became a patissière, but even back in those corporate days I’ve always had a passion for food. I was constantly out exploring new restaurants, cafes, bars, and soon people started asking me for recommendations. After a while, I decided to create Sugared & Spiced as a platform to share my culinary experiences with likeminded others.

WHY THE NAME “SUGARED & SPICED”
当时觉得 “sugar and spice” 这个phrase很可爱,于是把它加了 “-ed” 变成过去分词,意思是某个人或者某件事物 “被加了糖和香料”,感觉香甜可口,是种带有温度的幸福滋味。后来自己成了甜点师,这个名字贴切地概括了我现在的生活和工作,也是一种莫名的缘分。
I’ve always loved desserts, hence sugar and spice. I decided to changed the tense to past participles, as in someone or something has been “sugared and spiced”, which sounds just about to be the most alluring state possible. At the time I did not know that I would become a professional pastry chef and write extensively about pastries though…that was quite a serendipity.

MOST RECOMMENDED ARTICLE
最推荐刚从巴黎回来时写的甜点厨房日记系列,因为它们记录了我在各个厨房里的经历,将三年辛苦又快乐的日子沉淀为文字和图片。有凌晨2:30起床冒雨骑车上班的日子、有因为身心俱疲半夜哭着离开厨房的日子,不过更多的是因为热爱甜点而干劲十足,充实无比,觉得 “啊甜点果然是我的真爱” 的日子。说不定,可以引起你的一些共鸣,带来一些小小的启发。
I most recommend my kitchen diary series in Paris, because these are so full of emotions, condensing three incredible years into words and photos. You will read about my life as an intern at a Parisian pastry shop, struggling initially but eventually becoming a full-fledged patissière. You will also read about me waking up at 2:30am for the early shift at one shop, then getting yelled at everyday during dinner service at a Michelin restaurant…sounds intense, but really, it’s all good fun!

IF I GET TO OPEN A SHOP…
虽然目前还没打算开店,但想象中应该是一家轻松简单温暖的店。轻柔的爵士乐、充足的阳光、还有一些绿色植物,能有个安静的小院子最好了。甜点可能不特别华丽,但是能直击人心的朴实美味,根据时节的更迭而变换,让人能品尝四季带来的丰盛。
Opening a shop is not in the plans yet, but I imagine it to be somewhere light-hearted, simple, and warm. Soft jazz, plenty of sunlight, some greens, and preferably with a quiet little backyard. The pastries will change according to the season, showcasing the best our nature has to offer. They won’t be too fancy, but they will for sure be darn delicious.
