Sweet Success: Lals Wins Prestigious Pastry Award in Paris

In a moment of culinary triumph, Lals, a beloved Pakistani chocolatier and pastry shop, was awarded the coveted ‘Pastry Discovery Gem Award’ by La Liste in Paris. This esteemed recognition solidifies Lals’ position as a global pastry powerhouse, alongside the world’s top culinary talents.

Majid, the mastermind behind Lals, was overwhelmed with excitement upon receiving the nomination. A self-proclaimed cookbook aficionado, Majid has always admired the works of renowned chefs. The prospect of sharing the same stage with these culinary giants was a dream come true.

Lals’ journey began in 2006 with the opening of Pakistan’s first chocolate shop in Karachi. Since then, the brand has revolutionized the local chocolate scene, introducing high-quality pastries and gelatos to its menu. Majid’s cookbook, ‘Deliciously Yours,’ published in 2013, further cemented her reputation as a pastry expert, earning her two ‘Best Sweets and Pastry Book’ awards at the Gourmand Awards.

Before heading to Paris, Majid and her team crafted bespoke chocolate bars infused with traditional Pakistani flavors, showcasing their innovative spirit. At the La Liste Pastry Awards 2024, Lals was honored alongside three other international patisseries in the Pastry Discovery Gem Award category, with a total of 25 food gems selected for the year.

This prestigious recognition is a testament to Lals’ dedication to excellence and innovation in the world of pastry-making.”
