From home baker to Michelin-starred pastry chef ✨
This week, we’re featuring Bomee Ki, Executive Pastry Chef and co-founder of London’s Michelin-starred Sollip, where French pastry technique meets the flavors and memories of her Korean upbringing.
In our latest Chef of the Week interview, Bomee talks about the unexpected path that led her into pastry, building Sollip with her husband Chef Woongchul Park, and the philosophy behind her desserts: simplicity, purpose, and balance.
She also shares why great pastry is as much about intuition as precision, how Korean childhood memories inspire dishes like her signature Black Pain Perdu, and the one simple habit she believes can instantly improve your baking at home.
A wonderful conversation about creativity, identity, and what it takes to build an independent fine-dining restaurant in London. 👩🍳🍰
