The Tiramisu World Champion Now Coaching China's Best

In Italy, the birthplace of tiramisu, a Chinese pastry chef has taken first place in the World Tiramisu Championship. It's an incredible accomplishment— sort of similar to a foreigner coming to China and winning a Xiaolongbao competition. Lü Haoran is an exceptionally talented pastry chef with a wonderfully humble attitude, so I'm truly grateful for this opportunity to have him here to share his story of connecting China and the world through desserts! 00:00 Opening Highlights 01:52 Meet Lü Haoran 02:15 A Chinese Pastry Chef Wins in Italy 03:31 Coming Home as a Tiramisu Champion 03:40 How Childhood Memories Shape You 04:38 Dessert Culture in China 05:29 Balancing Eastern and Western Tastes 06:13 Dessert Culture Across China 07:12 Dessert Innovation in China 09:08 Growth, Mastery, and What Comes Next 10:18 Desserts for the New Generation 11:17 Why Young People Choose Pastry 12:01 Do Things Get Heated in the Kitchen? 12:28 Do You Ever Get Tired of Making Desserts at Home? 13:01 Two Cities to Visit in China 13:39 A Chinese Idiom to Share 14:20 A Chinese Idea Worth Sharing 14:46 Closing Thoughts
