Born in Tokyo in 1969, Hisako Ogita studied at Tokyo's Rikkyou
University, where she earned a degree in Sociology. From there she
went on to pursue a career in confections, by taking a one year
course of studies at the Tokyo-based culinary school Ecole Tsuji.
Ogita applied her training working in the well-renowned French
bakery Chandon in Tokyo's ritzy Aoyama district. For two years she
worked there as an apprentice studying candy making under culinary
specialist and international TV cook Yoko Ishihara.
Through the years Ogita's passion for sweets and pastries has
manifested itself in a handful of books, the international hit I
LOVE Macaroons, Interesting and Tasty Sweets Made with a Handmixer,
and The Rollcake Book. Ms. Ogita continues to work as a patissière
in Tokyo's trendy Shimokitazawa neighborhood.
