#Me for the hedonists I am a hedonist, to the point. I believe all pastry chefs are. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to do this on the level that we do. We must want to go above and beyond, with taste, texture, and the chemistry behind it all. And if you ask a pastry chef what their favorite dessert is, it is usually mom's apple cobbler, grandma's blueberry pie, a simple crêpe, made to perfection, or something like this…   #Sofia  for the entertain me -youngsters I wanted to make something local, clean label and extremely good, something to be taken with you and still could be eaten by hand. No packaging, no trash. Light on your body, and the environment. And vegan. It had to be vegan.   #Mom for the elderly A soft waffle, easier for consuming, cardamom, to calm the stomach and to add saliva production, blackcurrant for sharp taste, acidity, vitamins, and minerals as well as helping digestion and finally, coffee. Simply because it is the go-to –drink in Finland and my mom loved it. (Okay, it helps with digestion, boosts metabolism, and delivers caffeine, too)
