Her name is Ilaria

She hails from the Venice region and joined Julien Mallé’s pastry team at the beginning of September.

From an early age, she worked in the kitchen alongside her mother, making cakes. Then she developed her passion by watching online videos and TV shows, reading magazines and testing recipes at home.

When she’s not baking, she likes to travel and look at fashion images.

What she loves about Switzerland: its multilingualism, nature and quality of life.

What she dreads: the coming sub-zero temperatures… But then she’ll be able to take refuge in the warmth of the pastry lab.
