Person Formally Known As The Apprentice Patissier
The apprentice patissier is no more. No longer will I be toiling over hot ovens and inhaling copious amounts of flour and caster sugar (on a professional level anyway). I had a bit of a soul search and realised that I wasn’t really interested in churning out 50kg of croissant dough, 7kg brioche dough, 40kg sweet pastry, 40kg quiche dough, 10kg pizza dough etc. all day, every day. I enjoy finishing and creating individual products. I like researching, testing, trialing, making and watching people enjoy what I have created. And that’s just not possible in a busy wholesale/retail bakery/cafe.
So at this stage I have decided to keep my passion for food and all that it entails a hobby. I’m going back to regular paid work to earn some decent money for those holidays / cooking classes / exotic ingredients that I so love.
Therefore in light of the person formerly known as the apprentice patissier blog, the site has been renamed to “tummy rumbles”, which is something I constantly suffer from
So continue to enjoy.
