My name is Fathallah Nacer Idrissi, and I am a professional pastry chef with over 15 years of experience in the refined and demanding world of French pâtisserie.

Ever since I first set foot in a professional kitchen, I have been guided by a singular passion: to perfect the balance between technique, creativity, and emotion.

I believe that pastry is not just about sugar and flour — it’s a form of edible art, an expression of culture, precision, and beauty.

Over the past decade and a half, I’ve had the privilege of working in renowned establishments, collaborating with exceptional chefs, and refining my knowledge across every classic and modern pastry discipline.

From the precise layering of an opéra cake to the meticulous piping of a religieuse, I’ve come to see each dessert as an opportunity to tell a story — a story of excellence, heritage, and heart.

Why Brioche Chic?

Brioche Chic was born from my desire to share this passion beyond the walls of a kitchen. It is more than just a blog

— it’s a digital atelier, where professionals and pastry lovers alike can explore the elegance of French-inspired desserts, from timeless classics to contemporary creations.

Here, I share:

  • Professional-grade recipes, explained step by step
  • Chef tips and techniques developed over years of experience
  • Behind-the-scenes insights into the world of haute pâtisserie
  • And above all, my vision of a pastry that is both luxurious and accessible

Whether you’re looking to master the perfect choux, create a silky lemon tart, or discover the secrets behind a glossy mirror glaze, you’re in the right place.

My Philosophy

In every dessert I create, I seek perfection through simplicity. I believe that the most memorable pastries are not the most complex, but those crafted with intention, balance, and soul.

I respect tradition, but I’m never afraid to innovate. For me, a great chef is one who keeps learning — and keeps sharing.

Thank you for visiting Brioche Chic. I invite you to explore, learn, bake, and most of all — enjoy the beauty of pastry done right.“

I believe that pastry, like in the spirit of École Ferrandi Paris, is a balance of tradition and innovation.”
