About Me

I have been training as a Pastry chef and chocolatier with William Curley for over 4 years. With William and Suzues' help and guidance I won The William Heptinstall Scholarship 2010. The Scholarship is a fund to help young chefs gain experience through work placements in other countries. William Curley won this scholarship as well, travelling to L'Esperance, France. I have been inspired by William and Suzue who have both spent time training in France. Travelling in France will be the first leg of my trip. I will also travel to Japan in October, which I am really looking forward to as Suzue has shown me many books and magazines of Japanese chefs taking Traditional french classics and making it their own with flavour and style.

Introduction....

It has been a very long year getting to this stage...5 days from departure.

I have written many letter to chefs in France and i am very lucky to have been accepted to 3 of the top establishments in France.

Theirry Mulhaupt will be the first leg of my trip. I will be leaving from London towards Paris then onward to Strasbourg with the TGV. I will spend 4 weeks here with Theirry and his team. Theirry has two shops in Strasbourg - One patisserie shop and a chocolate shop! http://www.mulhaupt.fr/fr/mulhaupt-patisserie-3.html

Next I will spend three weeks in the Wonderful city of Paris - Here I can shop around many patisserie shops for ideas but I will spend most of my time at Arnaud Larher MOF. Like Thierry, Arnaud has two shops - a Patisserie shop and a Macaroon shop! http://www.arnaud-larher.com/ 

My last port of call is in beautiful Annecy based next to a lake in the south of France, working with Phillipe Rigollott MOF. His pastry shop only recently opened but he is a well renowned Pastry chef, having worked at Masion Pic for many years.

(MOF are the top pastry chefs in France -They have to compete to earn the priviledge to be called Meilleur Ouvrier de France, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meilleur_Ouvrier_de_France)
