SHARON HEINRICH

Based in Paris for over 16 years, I research, write about and document the culture of pastry and chocolate in France and around the world. Over the years, my work has evolved into a shared journey with Gali, my wife and partner. Alongside my writing for professional publications and judging professional pastry competitions, we collaborate with some of the world’s leading pastry chefs and chocolatiers and lead private culinary tours. In 2026, we were both awarded a medal by the City of Paris, presented by Mayor Anne Hidalgo in recognition of our work. From Paris, our work takes us to the people, places and creations shaping the world of pastry and chocolate across the globe.
