For the past 20 years, I have been continuously creating and reinterpreting my macaron creations, which is also my favorite and proudest field of creation. Macarons are my identity, so I seek to work with great brands. When Häagen-Dazs proposed the idea of putting macarons in ice cream, I felt the brand's enthusiasm and creativity. We jointly researched and developed products, and created a series of high-end works that are completely new in terms of quality and taste. I think it is undoubtedly a very successful cooperation."
