On this weeks podcast we have Pastry Chef/ Baker/ Owner of Ex Animo, Aaron Surman. Originally from Brisbane Australia, Aaron started by knocking on the door of the right kitchen to get himself on path of hard work, and perpetual inquisitiveness. From fine dining to building a wholesale bakery empire. Aaron has figured a lot of it out on his own but always goes back to the fundamentals he learned from books. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
