Yigit Pura Biography

Yigit Pura began his culinary training at the age of four in Ankara, Turkey while helping his mom make spoonfuls of dark caramel. His official culinary training began at the age of 20 in San Francisco, working in some of the top kitchens. He then moved to New York City, where he landed a position at Le Cirque 2000, and moved shortly after to The Four Seasons Hotel.

Yigit then landed what he would call his "golden step," as the Pastry Sous Chef at Daniel, under Chef Daniel Boulud, where after working for two and a half years, he was promoted to Executive Pastry for Daniel Boulud in Las Vegas. He has since returned to San Francisco working for Taste Catering and Event Planning.

Yigit relates his philosophy on baking to Buddhism "Enlightened desserts lie between the two extremes. You have to respect the history and heritage of food, while still feeling inspired to re-create things everyday."

Yigit was the winner of Bravo's Top Chef Just Desserts Season 1.

Yigit has opened his first solo venture, called Tout Sweet. It's a partnership with Taste Catering the company where he's worked for several years, and it's sleek, colorful home is on the third floor of Macy's, overlooking Union Square. Pura worked with architects Tecta Associates to design a patisserie inspired by the playful, modern spaces of Parisian patisseries like La Patisserie des Rves in the seventh arondissement, where he just visited in the spring.

The pastries are equally playful, brightly colored, and unique, with items inspired by Pura's favorite artists like Jean-Paul Gaulthier and Lady Gaga and twists on tradition like chocolate and confit orange macarons, and Negroni-flavored ptes de fruits.
