Nicolas Rouzaud is fêted for his creative reworking of classic French pastries, such as his Trio au Chocolat, and in particular his exquisite tartelettes: simple, elegant ensembles of fruit at its seasonal finest encased in buttery pastry and created with a profound respect for French culinary traditions, a lightness of touch and a hint of nostalgia.

Rouzaud’s love for fruit and pâtisserie started young. He was trained by the best in France, including the great late Laurent Jeannin. After more than 20 years’ experience, he opened The Connaught Pâtisserie in 2017, where his creative boldness and impeccably crafted artistry laid the foundations for his Maison de Haute Pâtisserie.
