Chef Gilles Marx & Chef Gunawan
Chef Leroy is a French chef who won a gold medal at Pastry World Cup 2017 with a spectacular Rock ’n’ Roll-themed creation. Inspired by great French chefs, Chef Leroy’s creative mind lets each ingredient shine on its own by not cooking it too much or using the technical knowledge necessary to achieve that goal.
