The Story Behind the Innovation

From traditional techniques to groundbreaking sourdough and croissant creations

My journey began with a Hotel Management degree and evolved into a passion for innovation. What started with traditional bread-making has transformed into pioneering sourdough fermentation techniques and revolutionary croissant lamination methods.

Working across prestigious properties like Waldorf Astoria, Atlantis The Palm, and One & Only, I've developed signature creations that blend traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation - from my famous Turmeric Herbs Sourdough to the architectural Hazelnut Cube Danish.
