Welcome, Metin Saruhanlı, our newest Chocolate Ambassador from Turkey!
Chocolate Academy™ is pleased to welcome Metin Saruhanlı to the Chocolate Ambassadors Club.
Chef Metin's career path started at a young age. Inspired by his grandfather, who turned a cottage halva business into a thriving biscuit manufacturer, Metin sought to turn his hobby of making cakes and pastries into a career. He completed his studies at École Supérieure de Cuisine Française (ESCF) - Ferrandi and Ecole Bellouet Conseil (both in Paris) and went on to work with renowned chef Carl Marletti. After absorbing as much knowledge and experience as he could, Metin returned to Turkey and established his first professional kitchen with the goal of celebrating the materials and ingredients of his home country. He is now the owner and founder of Arpége Pâtisserie, with locations in Konak, İzmir and Çeşme,İzmir.
