In July of 2023, Andy opened a new cafe in Rosebery called Salma’s Canteen. This joint makes a scrumptious pavlova, a meringue that’s filled to the brim with key-lime curd. Salma’s Canteen also serves up extraordinary pear and hazelnut cakes.

The History of Andy Bowdy

Andy Bowdy grew up cooking in both of his Nanas’ kitchens. In these sacred spaces, he would deep dive into the “Women’s Weekly Birthday Cake Book”. He would pore over the designs, imagining the creations he could make.

However, it was many years later that Andy realised that he wanted to be a pastry chef. While living in London, he bluffed his way into a prestigious kitchen and was inspired by his exemplary boss, Stephen Fredericks.

Since working in London, Andy has been refining his cooking skills, and he hasn’t turned back from this dream since.
