OUR ARTISTRY

Marc's Artistry

Marc Heu’s pastry craft is shaped by a rare blend of Hmong heritage, scientific curiosity, and French training. His creations are not just desserts—they are expressions of memory, resilience, and innovation.


Where French Technique Meets Hmong Spirit

A Philosophy Rooted in Identity

As a Hmong chef, Marc carries the legacy of a diaspora that survived displacement and rebuilt beauty from scarcity. This history informs his approach to pastry: intentional, refined, and deeply connected to land, story, and community.


Connection to Land

Sourcing With Reverence

For the Hmong, land is ancestral memory. Marc honors this by sourcing only the highest-quality ingredients in the world, selecting each element with purpose and care. Flavor begins with the earth—and he treats it as a collaborator in every creation.


Resilience & Curiosity

Innovation Through Science

Marc’s science background fuels his technical precision. His training at Lenôtre Paris, combined with an experimental mind, results in:

  • Highly technical, structured pastries

  • Complex textures engineered with intention

  • Bold forms that push the boundaries of traditional French pastry

He approaches pastry like a scientist and an artist—questioning, refining, and reimagining constantly.


A New Expression of French Pastry

Marc’s work blends classical technique with global flavors and Hmong worldview. Each creation—whether a mille-feuille or his signature Kua Dis—holds both craftsmanship and heart.


This is Marc’s artistry: precise, soulful, and unmistakably his own.
