Stella’s Scoop1 Maj 2024

Kelly Cullen, Allegra

Bout time for a new podcast folks! On this week’s Scoop, Zac and I are introducing you to the sweetheart of the pastry, who knew from day dot that desserts were going to be her forte. Kelly Cullen is currently the head pastry chef at Allegra, in Stratford and has worked previously at other incredible restaurants like Cornerstone and Angler. Beginning her career in culinary training, she worked at Claridge’s Hotel and soon realised that a smaller, tight-knit team was what she loved most.

Due to the open kitchen at Allegra and Kelly enjoying a good chat with her guests, I knew this podcast would be a corker. Listen to us chat about what makes the best dessert - whether that is nostalgia, taste, texture, beauty, elegance or just comfort. We also learn about how her mentors gave her some seriously tough love and her addiction to the buzz of a brilliant service. Whilst we discuss the difficulties of being female within a historically masculine environment, we also touch on the potential benefits being a woman brings us within hospitality.

So without further ado, listen to Kelly demonstrate that the proof is in the pudding. Join me and Zac for our newest Scoop.
