And pastry chef Pierre Jean Quinonero won the title as France’s Dessert Champion thanks to his creation called “Fraîcheur Pomme du Montois, Coco et pointe de cumin” [Fresh Montois Apple, Coconut and Cumin], after 4.5 hours of challenge.
His dessert – selected amid 200 other participants – will soon be available at the Le Baudelaire restaurant of hotel Burgundy Paris, where the winner is the actual pastry chef.

This is the 4th contest I win and I do not intend to stop now!”.
