Our Sicilian pastries are freshly made in small batches by Pastry Chef and Co-Founder, Emilia Strazzanti. Emilia s passion for cuisine began at 10 years old, experimenting with our Neapolitan and Sicilian grandparents. Specialising in pastry, Emilia has found herself under the watchful eye of leading, inspirational chefs including Anton Mosimann. After working at the renowned 5 star hotel Le Maurice, Paris, training alongside the brigade of Yannick Alleno s 3 Michelin starred restaurant and at the Dorchester Hotel, London, Emilia moved to Sicily to explore her origins, working for the Planeta family and Michelin starred chef, Accursio Craparo. Her time there reignited her passion for ingredients, products and their history inspiring her to help expose the talented people behind them to the UK.
