Kirsten Tibballs

One of the greatest bastions of patisserie in Australia, director of the Savour School in Melbourne.

Since 2002, the Savour School has invaluably helped promote patisserie and chocolate-making in Australia. Behind this very personal project in Melbourne we can find the enthusiastic Kirsten Tibballs, whose passion for pastry led her to train in various places in Europe. Her interest has led this pastry chef to accept all kinds of creative and educational challenges and allowed the craft sector gradually become relevant in the continent. She has organized for more than three years the big competition Savour Pâtissier of the Year.
