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.

Another queue for cake!

After a lovely walk through Uneo park I arrived at Inamura Shozo I noticed a small queue outside the shop... not unusual for a Saturday at patisserie shops. what I didn't notice was the other queue 5m away to join the queue just in front of the shop! I joined the first queue and waited patiently until it was my turn after an hour or so I was ushered unto the shop by a lovely door man!


 
The chefs in the background making more cakes for all the waiting customers!
I gazed at the cakes taking far to long considering the queue to choose. I always find choosing the hard part, if  I could I would have just a bite if them all to taste the flavour combinations! Carefully I selected two, strangely I didn't take a chocolate one I had two light creamy ones, unfortunately I didn't have a spoon so after my wait I now had to make it back to the hotel to get a bite of my cakes.  

 
 This was a delicious Passionfruit roll cake, it worked really well because the passionfruit cut through the creamy chantilly

Secondly my favourite one of the two was a Fromage Blanc dome with redfruit compote


So many different ideas are running through my head, seeing all these wonderful cakes, working in the Le Pommier kitchen and tasting all the delcious combinations!
