From first idea to final plate.

Executive Pastry Chef Teddy Gopaloo takes us behind the creation of his first dessert for Marilena — a reflection of his approach to pastry, where classic French technique meets unexpected flavour and texture.

For Chef Teddy, dessert is an opportunity to be curious, take risks and create something unexpected.
