My vision on pastry

Inspired by travels, daily outdoor pursuits, and arts & design, I create sweet experiences.

Defining taste is about the expectation of taste. Mixing expectations up, breaking them down, and reinventing the experience. I evoke memories by using classics. I take your experience and shake it up by using combinations of textures, local ingredients, taste and contrast. In each creation a surprise is hidden you won’t see coming. And those who dare to taste get to keep the memory.

PLANT-BASED
Accompanied by a well known food-scientist I am currently in­vestigating how we can go plant-based without sacrificing in flavour, yet staying as clean label as possible. In 2021 this research will be translated into the launching of new pastry focussed ingredients, starting with plant-based dairy re­place­ments. Next will be a whole new line of plant-based (and gluten-free) pastries and desserts. Clean label and great focus on decreasing our carbon footprint.
