Hello from South Africa

[ChefJoshBanc]

Hi all

 

Let me first start by I am so excited to be part of the community, I have been reading these forums for a while but today I decided to join. 

 

So a little about myself, my name is Josh and I am a pastry chef based in Johannesburg, South Africa.I decided to start my own candy company as I've always had a passion for pastry and confectionery.

 

I am now trying to work on chocolate panning, which is what led me here as there is little information around chocolate panning outside of this forum. I am so eager to learn more from the amazingly talented community here which, might I add has already helped me with regards to my panned confections on numerous occasions. 

 

Thank you for the welcome, I can't wait to learn more😁.

Hello and welcome, Josh! It's delightful to see a new member arrive from South Africa. We always enjoy seeing new members turn up with different seasons and food traditions. 

 

I can't help with the pastry and confectionary questions, as I'm one of the gapers-and-admirers only, but if you have questions about how to use the forums, or where to post something, feel free to ask a host (I am one) by PM, or else ask publicly in the Moderation and Policy Discussion forum.

Welcome, Josh! Many fine pastry chefs and chocolatiers here, though I am not one of them. I'll be anxious to see your adventures in chocolate!

Welcome, Josh!  I'm sure you already know that you are in a great place for information and help (though not from me 😉).  I'm looking forward to your contributions, too.
