Our Talented Pastry Chef

Nawel, hailing from the Hautes-Pyrénées in the southwest of France, decided to pursue her lifelong passion for pastry and culinary arts after a successful career as a translator and interpreter in France and Spain. Together with her partner, she moved to Quebec city to attend a rigorous French pastry training program at the prestigious Ecole Hôtelière de la Capitale, where she gained invaluable experience working in several pastry shops and cafés, such as Chez Boulay, Comptoir Boréal, a well-known restaurant, specializing in local products from Quebec.

Seeking to expand her knowledge and expertise, she relocated to Vancouver, where she further refined her skills and crafted new recipes. Due to her discerning palate and inspired by the city’s healthy lifestyle, she found her own style of pastry, offering lighter products, focused on flavors, natural ingredients and natural sugar alternatives.

Being naturally inquisitive, she is continually on the hunt for novel flavor combinations. She draws her inspiration from contemporary French pastry and her cultural roots in Morocco and France, two countries renowned for their exceptional culinary traditions.
