He discovered Gourmet magazine and started watching Martha Stewart, The Two Fat Ladies, and more food TV. Before he began his career in pastry, Brian studied journalism and was determined to work for Gourmet.

Levy spent years making pastries the traditional way –with loads of refined sugar-- in top notch restaurants, but he discovered another world of desserts that few bakers have explored, where there is no need for cane sugar, maple syrup, honey or any artificial sweeteners. Instead he ingeniously deploys fruit (fresh, dried and juiced) and other unrefined, naturally sweet ingredients, to create sweet treats whose flavor is enriched by whole food ingredients.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
