About Christel
I was born in Paris and I met Chef Jafer in July 2001 while he was visiting his family in France. In December 2001 I took a deep breathe and I left my country for an exciting unknown! We have been selling our French delicacies all across America for seven years.
Having a very sweet tooth, I couldn’t be happier to share Chef Jafer’s talent! At Zam we are creating and making our confections exactly the way our French confectioners do. Sit back, relax and enjoy!
