Byron Saliba

Q: Favourite spot in Malta to unwind?
A: Anywhere surrounded by nature. When I need to recharge, I head outdoors for a walk, breathe in the fresh air, and disconnect from the noise. Being away from crowds helps me clear my mind, refocus, and feel grounded again.

Q: What’s your favourite thing about your job?
A: I love seeing a creation come to life. Every dessert tells a story through its textures and flavours. The real reward is the smile it brings. Turning imagination into edible art and connecting with people through something sweet makes the long hours worthwhile.

Q: Best piece of career advice you’ve received?
A: “Respect your craft, but never stop learning.” Staying humble and curious is essential, especially in pastry where techniques constantly evolve.

Q: What’s something we wouldn’t know about you from your CV?
A: I’m an early riser who experiments with new recipes before dawn. It’s my quiet time for inspiration.
