A little about me...

I’m a simple French girl, born in the late 80’ and raised in a tiny village next to Poitiers (Middle West part of France). Since I was a kid, my relationship to food has always been passionate. Raised in a farm, I had constant access to incredibly fresh local products. I grew up eating fruits and vegetables coming from the garden, pâtés and charcuterie my mum would actually make, and meat from animals we raised ourselves.

Nonetheless, I never thought about working in the food industry. I started to study Sciences and graduated in Chemistry few years later. Realizing soon, I didn't want to work in this field, I took a radical decision that changed my life.

I decided to leave for a one-year internship in a food company in US. The company, based in the Bay Area (California) was (and still is) producing French inspired individual desserts. I was working in the Research and Development Department.
I started as an intern and ended up managing most of the department (I came for a year, and actually stayed for almost four!).

This was it! From this point I knew I wanted to be a Pastry Chef!

I came back to France and worked in couple of other places (in France and Finland).
I've now decided to graduate in Pastry.

So, here is my blog, with no pretension to teach anything, but just the joy to share my passion for Pastry and Food...Bon Appétit!

Stéphanie.
