A Most Fanciful Dessert Buffet by Les Vergers Boiron- Your Invite

Bonjour monsieur, madame!  A most delightful afternoon was in store for guests at the ultra exclusive food tasting by Les Vergers Boiron at the Makati Shangri-La last February 16, 2018.

After all, France is a nation of food lovers - where food is to be enjoyed and savored (e.g., lunch in France is usually two hours long!)  French cuisine evokes classy dining, superb quality products, and most revered in the world!

The by invite only affair is a celebration of the recipes by renowned Chef Gael Etrillard, and an encounter with Les Vergers Boiron products.

From 2009 to 2013, Chef Gael was executive pastry chef at Raffles Hotel Singapore and has been working in Asia for more than 13 years. He is currently Les Vergers Boiron's Area Pastry Chef, and is also involved in training and international competitions.

After an early career in Michelin star restaurants in France, and luxury hotels in London, Gael left for Asia where he worked for 18 years as an Executive Pastry Chef for fine dining restaurants and five-star hotels.
