Florian Poirot

My name is Florian Poirot, pastry chef from Nancy. Pastry & desserts has always been my passion and it's so big that I couldn't keep it all to myself.   Every day in Malton, 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. 

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 14, I joined Nancy Culinary School where I achieved a ‘Master in Pastry and Confectionery’. I then moved to Paris working on a bigger scale with Franck Daubos, my spiritual father. As if changing city wasn’t exciting enough, I crossed the Channel, landing in Yorkshire - ‘God’s own county’ and became the UK Pastry Champion giving me the chance to represent the UK at the World Pastry Cup in 2017 and later won the best sugar showpiece prize at the World Pastry Cup in Lyon.
