I have been going to the World Pastry Forum since I began serious considering baking as more than a hobby. Being in a kitchen making dessert is not a job to me but something that I enjoy immensely.
I began this journey in 2007 when I enrolled at the Culinary Academy in Syosset, NY. There I met my first mentor, Chef Mary Sydor, and was exposed to the world of all things baking and the World Pastry Forum.
I have attended the World Pastry Forum every year since I began. Having the desire but not actively being a part of the industry , on a daily basis, I find the Forum an avenue to energize me and keep my mind on the potential that is in the industry. This will be a combination of thoughts and photos. Enjoy
Here are some pictures of the chefs that I had the honor of studying under during the 2012 World Pastry forum.
-
- Chef Anil was one of the first chef I studied with in 2007. I always connect him to flavor and the senses and refer to the material that I have received from him.
-
- Chef Siefert’s family has been in the business of Gelato through generations and it is a welcome site to see legacy in action.
-
- Chef Rudy is definitely a unique individual. Keeping it simple, his knowledge and charm invites you to be engaged in the art of creating tasty sweet treats.
