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.

In the interests of research... Unfortunately not the waistline!

OMG... I canot believe a week has gone by so quickly...

I continue to work on the Patisserie section and also observe the rest of the kitchen....

Red Fruit Tart - I thought this would be a heathly dessert on Tuesday! Hazelnut and cinnamon sweet pastry with Frangipane and delicious fresh red fruits in season!


Yesterday I assisted to make "Tom Cot" - Layers of Pistachio Jaconde with an apricot mousse and fresh redcurrants!
Passionfruit tart - Sweet Pastry base with passionfruit curd a twist on the classic.

I have been working my way through the many products that Theirry Mulhaupt creates, just like William he strives to make as many things as a patissier can and I know I will not come close to tasting them all...

Luckily I have all these stairs to climb each day to my 5th floor apartment... Hopefully it will go someway to burning off the Cakes!!!!
