Chef David Rousseau
Calgary, AB
Originally from Brittany, France, Chef David Rousseau always had an intrinsic love of food and travel, spending time in Lima, Peru for seven years designing and leading food-forward tours. In 2013, he was offered a job in Victoria, BC, where he was trained by a French chef in a variety of techniques and delicacies, including macarons. This prompted him to move to Calgary in 2014 to open up his own store, Ollia Macarons & Tea, which offers 25 different flavours of macarons at any given time, including seasonal specialty macarons, cakes and mini cakes.
His family’s principles of using local and organic ingredients have heavily influenced Chef Rousseau’s food philosophy, and sourcing locally and ethically is central to the business at Ollia. Chef Rousseau teaches baking classes, which have become very popular, garnering more than 6,000 guests thus far.
