Russian national and chef Dr. Jane Evgeniya Sokolova is deeply impressed with the Qatari culture, hospitality and the society. In return, she wants to establish a high-end local brand of chocolates. “This will be a Qatari top brand and a showcase of Qatari culture,” she said, while talking to Qatar Tribune recently.
Jane has a doctorate in Economic Sciences and Taxation in Agriculture. Her deep passion for bakery products took her to pursue education and training from Savour Chocolate & Patisserie School, Australia; Culinary Academy Kiev International, Ukraine; and Escuela International de Pasteleria Spain. Prior to coming to Qatar, she has served in Japan as a pastry chef.
Talking about the local chocolate production venture, she said her team will be offering a new perspective into the pastry world. She said she is looking at offering the Qatari society entirely new and indulgent desserts combining traditional local desserts and flavors with the use of new techniques. Her team will create a perfect balance of flavor combinations in a new and exciting way, she stressed.
“Our goal is to indulge chocolate lovers to a new experience helping them to discover how traditional taste combinations can be explored. It will be some classical combinations but also some brave alternatives as well,” she noted.
Elaborating further, she said she had drawn the idea using only the best quality of ingredients coupled with the latest techniques.
“My own special recipes are based on natural flavor and different textures while presenting them in a modern, traditional and stylish way by preserving local culture including Battoulah (a traditional mask covering nose of local ladies), Oryx (local national animal), falcon head cover, etc.”
Jane has been living in Qatar for the last four years and is very much influenced by the Qatari culture and heritage. She aims to preserve, promote and showcase Qatari culture through highly skilled craftsmanship of her chocolates designs.
