Set up in 2008, The Dessert Deli quickly became one of the highlights of the popular Northcote Road Market, as well as being stocked in some of London's most famous Food Halls, including Fortnum & Mason, Selfridges and Whole Foods Market - providing luxurious handmade desserts for food lovers. After finishing catering college, Laura served an apprenticeship under Jean Christophe Novelli (training under Richard Guest at Maison Novelli, as well work at EC1 Brasserie, Novelli W8 & Les Saveurs).
