About
I’ve spent the last twenty-five years in professional pastry kitchens across Israel — creating, testing and perfecting desserts, and working alongside the teams who make them every day.
Today I bring that experience to businesses around the world as a pastry consultant. Whether it’s a new opening, a dessert menu that needs a fresh start, or a team ready to raise its level, I work hands-on in your kitchen until the results speak for themselves.
How I can help
Every business is different. I adapt to your concept, your kitchen and your team — these are the places I usually make the biggest difference.
New desserts, pastries and seasonal collections designed around your concept, your equipment and your guests.
Precise, scalable recipes with clear costing — so every batch tastes the same and every item earns its place.
Equipment planning, station layout and production schedules for new openings and growing kitchens.
Hands-on training that gives your team the technique and confidence to deliver consistently.
Support from the first tasting to opening day — and through the weeks that follow.
Regular visits or remote check-ins to keep quality high and the menu evolving.
