The chef

The question was simple.

Can a cake rise — truly rise — without eggs? Trained in professional hospitality and kitchens, I spent years testing, failing and refining until eggless stopped meaning less than. The result is a complete pâtisserie system: 129 recipes, 688 pages, and a book built like a professional reference.

Chef. Author. Researcher — in that order, every single day.
