About
Who we are and what we representThe smell of chocolates, the cracking sound of a home-made bread out of the oven, the buttery smell of a croissant… the taste, the touch, the sight…we live, breathe, speak about pastry, it has become part of our lives.
At Pastry Institute of St Honoré, we aim to share our passion in pastry with everyone. How pastry can be savoured on its own or how it can be paired with wine.
Wine pairing whether with bread or dessert is a classic combination and is more of an art than a science. What tastes good to you, may not the be the pairing for someone else. In general, a wine should compliment the prevailing taste of the food – not fight it.

Chef Frederic Oger, the Master Pastry Chef of Pastry Institute of St Honoré, was brought up in the Loire Valley, France by his family of wine connoisseurs. Instead of making a career in the wine business, he found his passion in pastry at a very young age of 6 years old.
His passion took a more serious turn when he started his apprenticeship program with the Association of Maison des Compagnons du Tour de France, the oldest establishment in France recognized by UNESCO. With them, he worked with various well-known pastry shops, chocolatiers and bakeries around France and Belgium, setting a strong foundation in the pastry arts.
At 21 years old, he travelled to England and started exposing himself to fine dining restaurants working with Michelin starred Chefs and reaching the position of Head Pastry Chef at 24 with Michael Caines restaurant.
He then continued his travels to the Maldives and Middle East where he worked as Executive Pastry Chef in various 5-star luxury hotels and resorts such as Hilton (known as Conrad now) and opened a few hotels under the Rotana Group, the largest chain of hotels in the UAE.
Always wanting to share his experiences with a larger audience, Chef Frederic continued his career in teaching as the Director of Pastry Arts with the Academy of Pastry Arts in Malaysia for 4 years, further enhancing his skills under various MOFs (Meilleur Ouvrier de France).
This award-winning Chef finally found where he belongs, by opening his own pastry school with the aim to offer the finest pastries and education to all who seeks.
