Juliana Penteado is a pastry chef, nutritionist, and eternal creative. She has one of the most unique pastry projects I've ever seen. I became even more interested when I realized how much our creations have in common. From aesthetic care to the use of essential oils that transport us to the world of aromatherapy, we both emerged from "traditional" cuisine and decided to explore other paths. I met her through Carol Henke, from Brigadeirando (you can see her interview here ) and since then there hasn't been a day that I don't check her posts – they are BEAUTIFUL!
If you want to know more about Ju and her process, here's a podcast where you can hear her talking more about this project.
I hope you like it!
