Chef Anil will be working closely with Marriott Hotel Manila’s Executive Chef Meik Brammer, Executive Pastry Chef Fil Afable and its multi awarded pastry team, to conceptualise the dessert menu of Crema. He was in the country to give an intense training program that tackles recipe development, innovative cakes, pastry techniques, portioning and shelf life improvement.

Crema is Chocolate & Coffee Haven

Swoon-worthy creations are inspired from classic European pastries with modern twist, executed by blending traditional and contemporary techniques care of Chef Anil.

His great enthusiasm for his craft has always led him to his continuous pursuit of learning. He was an assistant to the award-winning confectioner Ewald Notter for 3 years, and Joe McKenna – lead pastry-chef instructor of Culinary Institute of America. These experiences led him to venture out on other opportunities when he co-developed and became a teacher of a 24-week educational program at Notter School of Pastry Arts in 2007.
