Orange, shisho and truffle tart by Carmen Rueda

 

Ferran Adrià, Olivier Bajard, Janice Wong and Heston Blumenthal are some of the prestigious chefs with whom Carmen Rueda has worked throughout her intense professional career. Born in Salamanca,Spain, she is currently one of the most innovative pastry chefs in the UAE and the executive pastry chef of Brix Desserts in Dubai in 2021.

Rueda acknowledges that she has to explain to customers that “a dessert restaurant is not only sugar or cream. We want them to eat desserts and change their view about heavy desserts. There are plated desserts, shop window cakes, sweets to go, and more. It’s not only based on one kind of pastry, I use my knowledge to create a sweet journey for everyone”. Cakes with aromatic, citric, and intense flavors like the one we share below, decorated with orange segments, mango slices, yuzu pearls, and shisho and basil leaves.
