Most notably, I’ve been head pastry chef at the famed Manresa Restaurant (currently 3 Michelin stars), named one of the world’s 50 best restaurants By Restaurant Magazine. At Manresa I collaborated with renowned chef David Kinch, winner of the Iron Chef competition.
I perfected my chocolate-making skills working under master pastry chef Pascal Janvier, who was named one of the top 10 pastry chefs in America in 1998 and 1999 by Chocolatier Magazine.
Building on my extensive fine-dining experience, in 2004 I founded “Sugar Butter Flour”, a European-style pastry shop and bakery, which specializes in high end custom cakes, desserts, chocolates and wedding cakes.
