Pastry Chef Fred
Originally from France, Fred Csibi-Levin is a Ph.D. scientist turned pastry chef. While he has over a decade of experience in the pharmaceutical industry leading drug discovery projects, he was always intrigued by the complexity of making desserts. In his spare time, he was often baking. He initially focused a lot of attention on French macarons, known for being particularly difficult to bake. He spent countless hours experimenting, trying to understand how ingredients, equipment, temperature, humidity, etc. can all contribute to making a successful (or unsuccessful!) macaron. This opened his eyes to a whole new perspective of the science of baking and, as a scientist, he got hooked. At the same time, he also began to discover his creative and artistic side. He then decided to attend pastry school at the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts, in Boston, MA. Since then, he has worked in the hospitality field in the Boston area and has developed his brand, which focuses on different aspects of consulting, education, training, recipe development and content creation. Fred’s work has been featured by Buzzfeed, Tastemade, the Pastry Arts Magazine, among others; he has competed on the Food Network and his social media channels have amassed hundreds of thousands of followers worldwide.
