Florian Poirot Ltd.

My name is Florian Poirot, pastry chef from Nancy, a city in North Eastern of France. At the age of 6, I spent most of my free time in my grandfather’s bakery situated in a very small village where I grew up. Since then I always wanted to become a pastry chef. At the age of 14, I joined Nancy Culinary School and I stayed until I achieved a ‘Master in Pastry and Confectionery’. I then moved to Paris working on a bigger scale with Franck Daubos, my spiritual father. He introduced me to the artistic side of the patisserie world where I participated at different Sugar Work competitions.  As if changing city wasn’t exciting enough, I crossed the Channel, landing in Yorkshire - ‘God’s own county’. Years of hard work paid off ... I became the UK Pastry Champion giving me the chance to represent the UK at the World Pastry Cup in 2017. My secret dream became real when I won the best sugar showpiece prize at the World Pastry Cup in Lyon.   Pastry has always been my passion and it's so big that I couldn't keep it all to myself so I decided to open a Pastry shop in "Yorkshire's food capital" Malton.  Every day, I look for the best ingredients available - whether that is fresh fruit sourced within one mile of the shop or vanilla pods that comes from the other side of the globe. All this in order to give you the best products.  I hope that you will enjoy my creations just as much as I enjoy making them.
