Pour moi: Le meilleur Patissier au monde / the best pastry chef in the world

… Do you like the smell of chocolate, cinnamon, nuts, honey, fruit, vanilla, coconut and more.

I have had the chance to meet a pastry chef that has changed my “sweet” life.

He made me taste new recipes, daring mixes of unusual tastes and consistencies.

SINCE then, I have never tasted any dessert in my life as good as his.

Lucky us, that he has his own blog and shares some of his highlights with us:
