My love for cooking grew far beyond baking, I began working as a chef. Being self taught I was able to explore the techniques and flavours that excited me most. I found that I was always drawn to Asian cuisine.
​
I discovered a new passion competing with my original love of baking. Throughout my studies and my working life, I spent all of my free time developing my understanding of Asian ingredients. Using my understanding of flavours & technique, I began to go beyond authentic recipes and create new flavours that din't fit belong exclusively to any cuisine
​
The one thing that held me back from starting my business was trying to decide which passion I wanted to purse more.
My love of baking started with cookies. I became obsessed from a very young age with creating the perfect soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe. I took a very scientific approach to baking, experimenting with ratios to create the perfect cookies. Once I'd mastered cookies set my sights on brownies, then patisserie
​
My cookies became famous amongst my friends and families and soon my brownies followed suit. It wasn't long before people told me I should start selling them.
​
I briefly began selling them during my second year of Uni, but there was always something missing for me. I loved cookies, but I felt like there was still so much to discover.
For me 2020 was not the year of the COVID pandemic, but the year the penny finally dropped. I didn't need to choose between baking and Asian flavours.
​
I never played by the rules when it came to flavour anyway. Those who know me well always trust me to come up with something unique, but always delicious. I wanted to deliver that same experience to people that don't know me.
​
I knew it would be risky to bring something so different to the market, but I was and still am confident in my understanding of flavour and technique. So I develped my range of brownies and cookies inspired by Asian flavours.
​
​
Asian Influence is about reintroducing people to flavours they think they already know. It's about using authentic flavours and recipes to create a new experience of authentic.
​
It started with mail-order brownies & cookies, the range has already expanded beyond this...

This is just the begining, theres so much more to be inspried by
