I’ve made something just for those who truly feel this passion.
A way to say: thank you for being close.

A limited edition of 34 macaron boxes.
Each one prepared with care is part of a very limited batch —marked one by one, with detail and intention in every step.

☕ Coffee · 🍫 Chocolate · 🍋 Lemon · 🍓 Raspberry · 🌼 Passion Fruit · 🍯 Salted Caramel

Made with real ingredients and a lot of love.

It’s a small celebration — perfect for Mother’s Day, or simply a beautiful treat before the rest of the world can have a taste.

Send me the word “SECRET” and I’ll share the details 💌

My path wasn’t a straight line.
After three years studying culinary arts in Argentina, I still felt something was missing. It was in France that I found what I needed — hands-on placements, real work experience, and advanced training at a private school.

I learned from the best. Every subject was explored in depth, overflowing with knowledge and detail. It was four intense years of training — and if I do the maths, that’s over 2,000 hours of practical work just within the school.

Then came the years of putting it all into practice: working, training further, and deciding where I wanted to specialise and grow even more.

And to this day, I haven’t stopped learning. Every year, I invest in at least one major course or training program.
How much have I spent? More than you’d imagine.
Was it worth it? Every cent. Because what you learn is yours. It becomes part of who you are — no one can take it away from you.

I love this profession because it never stands still.
There’s no chance of getting bored. There’s always something new to discover.

Hello, hello! 👋

Some of you know me personally, but for those who don't, thank you for your time 🙏, and I hope you enjoy it 😊.

This space is to share a combination of everything I love, what I'm passionate about 💖, what made me grow 🌱 and do things I never imagined: a mix of different "ingredients" 🌟: curiosity, enthusiasm, passion, culture, quality, languages, and food 🍰.

Throughout my career, I have developed in various branches. I started with cooking 🍳, then moved to pastry and all its specialities 🍮.

Australia taught me to know myself and to convey what is important to me: high-quality pastry, with flavours and fundamentals, and understanding beyond the recipe 📜.

Giving pleasure to others through my creations, creating emotions.
Through my classes, students learn to discover what they are capable of doing with their own hands 👐.

Obviously, who doesn't love discovering new places to eat 🍽️, learning to make recipes at home 🏡, understanding the ingredients, tips ✅and reducing the consumption of processed products?

And this is just the beginning...🫣

I'll tell you more about Hospitality later...😉

Have a nice day 🤗

Yaz💫

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗳??? 🤔

I liked these phrases because they describe a bit the roles that a chef must have.

Admiration to all the professionals who continue doing this work with passion and wanting to offer the best experience to the customer.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐈 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫? 🤔

Looking back, I think about my first week of the 4-month professional pastry course in France. I was there, in front of the class, with my camera, my notes in French and Spanish from over ten years ago.

I remember how our teacher taught us how he made us think, explaining the reasons behind the recipes, completely changing our understanding of pastry and how we viewed it. I believe that's when the 🌱 was planted in me about the importance of having a good teacher, the role they can play in a person's life through their knowledge, their philosophy, and their ability to inspire others.

Then, when I had the opportunity to be an assistant, I realised how important it is to plan carefully to offer the best experience to students and to enjoy teaching the class myself.

Concluding with some news! 📣📣📣

I am honoured and excited to continue sharing my expertise and skills with Le Cordon Bleu this year!

Loic has been talking about it since November.

If you were in France in January and didn't see this, you probably had your eyes closed.🤭

The choice of Callebaut isn't just about superior quality; it's a commitment to traceability, recognizing the origin of our chocolate's journey from bean to bar.
