15 years ago, Jacky Lung was the very first member of my team at The Peninsula Hong Kong. 🤍

After our shifts we stayed in the kitchen together, training for competitions and building chocolate sculptures. I watched him grow into a top pastry chef, and today he leads a team of 40 pastry chefs at Galaxy Macau. I couldn't be prouder of what he has achieved.

What started as working side by side became a deep friendship, built on the same drive and the same passion. This week Jacky came to Ghent to give an inspiring workshop to our team.

He's in Belgium as a judge for the World Chocolate Masters, on 26 & 27 November at the Handelsbeurs in Antwerp.

This is the last step before a batch is ready: cacao dust in the air, each piece tossed by hand until the coating’s even.
But the shape itself isn’t random. These pralines didn’t get it by accident - there’s a reason for it, and it’s been sitting right outside our door the whole time.
We’re not telling you yet.
Next week: the box, and the reason why.

Not everything that comes out of Marijn's kitchen is sweet.
At home, Marijn's specialty is tahdig - the crispy, golden rice crust that's the whole point of the dish, made the traditional Persian way.
Recipe's ready if you want to try it yourself - DM us and we'll send it over, then tag us in yours.

Quality control, Marijn-style.
He doesn't really need to check anymore - but a spot check now and then never hurt anyone.
One taste from every new batch, before the rest goes out. Just to be sure.

Ask someone to guess what's in Marijn's record collection, and they'll usually picture something classical, something safe.

It's not. It starts with the rock his father used to play on repeat - the records this whole collection grew out of - and from there it drifted somewhere completely different: sharp, fast electronic music, the kind nobody expects from someone this precise with chocolate.

Same guy who tempers chocolate to the degree. Completely different rules once the needle drops.

And this crate has a few more stories in it yet - more to come.

Every autumn, top pâtissiers from all over the world come together under one roof to share what they know.

This week that roof was in Lyon, at the Relais Desserts Séminaire d'automne. Three days of demonstrations, tastings and long conversations about where our craft is coming from and where it's heading.

Not everything on the table was futuristic. There was talk of new tools like 3D printing and AI that can make life behind the scenes a little easier. But just as much time went into the details: the ingredients themselves, and how to bring them together into the perfect pastry.

Marijn also took the stage himself. He talked about how viennoiserie and pastry are finding a new home in the coffeeshop, the idea behind Burgstraat 151. By the end of the day, the recipe for his hibiscus drink had made it into quite a few notebooks.

That openness is what makes this gathering special. He came home with a head full of inspiration.

Curious about that hibiscus drink? Ask Marijn next time you drop by. 🌺
