Justin Foo

At an early age of 16, Chef Justin Foo embarked on his cooking career and never looked back. His fierce love for French Cuisine was intensified after his training at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts Institute in Ottawa, Canada.

Upon returning to Singapore, he focused that passion into working with Andre Chiang, at Restaurant Par Andre – currently 5th in 2015 San Pellegrino Asia’s Best 50 Restaurants. Following that, he landed himself in a classical French Fine Dining, Le Saint Julien. 8 Years on, he was the Head Chef of Senso Ristorante and Bar as he turned the age of 24. Dabbling with Italian Cuisine, he further developed his love for cuisine and produce.

When in Singapore, he is overwhelmingly enthusiastic about sharing his passion, knowledge and techniques with cooks both professional and amateur.

Throughout the years of work, he has travelled much and discovered the vast variety of produce available in different lands. Although his first love is French Cuisine, he has influences of flavours from the Asia Pacific.

Phay Shing Tan

With a postgraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering, Phay Shing’s experiments did not end when she left the lab. A stay-home mum, she continues to conduct experiments of a different kind in her home kitchen, where she bakes creative macarons, marshmallows, choux pastries, chiffon cakes and cookies. A firm believer in using natural sources of food colouring wherever possible, Phay Shing’s health-conscious baking philosophy has always been to create that delicate balance between aesthetics, healthfulness, richness in flavour and level of sweetness in her bakes. People who have tried her bakes often comment on the delicious taste, level of sweetness that is less than what is sold commercially, and looks that are too cute to be eaten.

Phay Shing has written four books, Creative Baking: Macarons, Creative Baking: Macaron Basics, Creative Baking: Deco Choux Pastries and Creative Baking: Deco Marshmallows, and is the co-author of Creative Baking: Chiffon Cakes.
