About Me

I am Helen, a French expatriate living in Charleston, SC. I have been here for 12 years, during which I got married, quit a Ph.D in History and started my journey to pastry through internships in restaurant and bakeries. It was the most natural decision of my life and I became the executive pastry chef of a local French restaurant where I stayed for 6 years. I started my blog at the same time I was leaving the restaurant, unsure of what to do next, knowing it would be with food, writing about pastry, styling food, enjoying food. I still bake and cook for patrons either privately or during catering functions and returns to the restaurant kitchen occasionally to give a hand. Nowadays I regularly write and do photography assignments for Desserts Magazine. Working as a recipe writer, food stylist and food photographer allows me to make my passion my work and vice versa. I am available for recipe developing, consulting, food styling, and food photography.
