About the Guest Chef: Pastry Chef Mayumi

Specialising in French pastry with an essence of her Japanese origin, Pastry Chef Mayumi creates pastries and desserts with love and truly enjoys sharing her passion with people. Mayumi is well travelled and has lived in several countries to train her palate and skills, working in Japan, France and Singapore with many passionate chefs. She was inspired by Olivier Bajard, a world pastry champion in France and worked with Olivier at his pastry school Ecole Internationale de Patisserie Olivier Bajard.

In Australia, Mayumi has worked at Lake House (2 hats restaurant) in Victoria, Kazuki’s (1 hat restaurant) in Melbourne, The Bathers Pavilion (1 hat restaurant) and currently teaches Pastry at Le Cordon Bleu. She owns a pastry business "Mimi's Pastry" making cakes to order, and event catering. You can find her most Sundays at the Tramsheds grower market.

Mayumi's motto is "Pastries for smiles". Sourcing goods from mostly local farmers, suppliers and her choice of ingredients from Europe and Japan. Always looking for something good for our body, environmentally friendly ingredients are important to Mayumi in making her sweet creations. That is also the reason she only does custom cakes to order to ensure there is no wastage, and her customers get freshly made pastries. It takes time and a lot of effort but this is important for her.

She also supports the charity organisation "Two Good" to donate her cakes regularly to share the love to women who have experienced domestic violence.

She now joins us at VIVE Cooking school to share her love and enjoyment of making these beautiful pastries with you.

The bread making course was most enjoyable and very practical. Instructions were clear. The kitchen space was wonderfully organised and contained high quality equipment. Fresh ingredients were provided. The bread we made was delicious. After learning through step-by-step instructions, it will definitely be made at home. It was a marvellous way to spend part of a Saturday. I will definitely return.

I ordered some products from the shop and I was so pleased with the quality of all the products. The wok is fantastic and I have seasoned it and will use tonight. The cheese knives and the kitchen scissors wonderful and I felt the quality definitely outweighs the price. Thank you
