Mon Petit Chou has its origins in lockdown, when Betty Morris, 30, began baking for neighbours
Serving a variety of sweet and savoury tarts, pies and pastries, the micro-patisserie and bakehouse opened on Aigburth Road in December. It swiftly became a firm favourite among people living both near and far.
"I ended up going to Liverpool Community College - I did two years of professional cheffing there, the whole cookery course. Then I went to 60 Hope Street as a waitress and elbowed my way into the kitchen eventually, then I was on pastry and that was me then. The next step was to set up a shop. After an initial struggle to find a suitable location, Betty settled on her Aigburth Road shop, just along from Aigburth Vale.
"We opened in December. The first day we opened, I thought 'oh my god, is anyone even going to come'. We were just standing at the counter thinking 'this is scary' after you've made loads of food to sell every day." Betty explained: "Every week, we try to change. There are a few staples that we always have that people love, like pain au chocolat, Basque cheesecake. Other than those, we change all the savoury and sweet options - different tarts. We have a little meeting at the beginning of the week and think about what we want to make and what flavours we are thinking about."
