Consulting Work
Having experienced the hospitality industry for over 20 years in either bakery, Michelin star restaurants and luxury hotels, I am offering my service to contribute to the creation of your menu, train your chefs already on board to reproduce the dessert of your choice, organising events and jobs to be completed to reach your goal.
It can be challenging to hire the right candidate to join your team and find enough time in the day to train him/her. I can take care of this task and relieve you from this stress and pressure.
By working together, side by side, with your vision and expectations, I will present you different options of dessert menu, plated or buffet style as well as baked goods.

"Through my journey in baking I have met a lot of chefs, but Julien Picamil was one of the most sincere. He has taught me not only pastries and bread but how to manage a professional bakery with all the professional machines. "

"Before meeting Julien I watched his videos on YouTube which were very insightful and entertaining. I then decided to send an email to see if I can learn 1:1 and to my surprise he responded back to me so quickly. I had the most amazing time with my (now) friend Julien! I spent about 2 days in his kitchen where I assisted with several daily tasks including breadmaking, pastries and food preps.
Honestly, this is one of the best experiences of my life. Aside from getting on very well with Julien (who has a great sense of humour), I learnt so much about the art of French cooking and baking. I brought lot of what I learnt back to my own home bakery in Zimbabwe, and I can truly say it was such a rich experience. Julien went over and above what we had planned to learn and kept asking me if there is anything else I would like to learn. I left knowing how to make so many things which was so helpful."

"I was looking for how to guides and tips on pastry baking and I came across his YouTube channel. That is how I first got to know Chef Julien. Ever since then I applied some of his techniques to my own pastries and I got amazing results! From then on, we became email buddies as I emailed him often to exchange information and share knowledge. As time went on, we became friends and he invited me over to his café, Saveurs, in Dartmouth, UK. That’s when I was able to witness all of his work and I am truly impressed with how he does his pastries as well as run his own café.
We caught up briefly and he brought me over to his central kitchen to see how it’s all done.
Chef Julien does not hold himself back when he shares his knowledge and experience in the world of baking. His passion for baking is remarkable and the lessons he taught me are gold. And now, with his guidance and tips, I’m able to open my own little bakery here in Singapore."

"I was a passionate but average home baker for years before I came across Julien's quiche video on YouTube 6-7 years ago. Even though I had taken a few certificate classes at a pastry school most of what I learned stayed at the school. After turning out my first perfect quiche with crisp pastry and perfectly set filling I started watching more and really upped my pastry game. Fast forward to 2022 and I can actually turn out respectable macarons, lovely lemon tarts, silky crème pat and crispy choux. Julien shares his many years of experience and dedication to his craft with nothing withheld including precise measurements to turn out great bakes.
With a focus on precision, quality, flavor and creativity you won't regret getting to know Julien through any medium available. If you happen to find your way to Dartmouth, you'll also get to meet a truly wonderful man. "

" I was actually following Julien Picamil before I met him in person. I did not train classically as a baker nor do I own a pastry shop, but I do bake and have built somewhat of a reputation as someone who knows what he is doing according to those who know me and who buy my products. Much of what I have learned is a result of having followed what Julien teaches in his many videos. I not only use a host of the recipes he introduces but also many of the techniques that I have learned from him.
I find that he has always been clear in explaining his recipes as well as the techniques used to put them together. He is easy to understand and after meeting him on a trip to Dartmouth I found him to be very warm and personable, easy to talk to and interact with."
