Now Aldis has come to Moscow to become better acquainted with the famous palace in Tsaritsyno. Born into a large family – seven brothers and two sisters, his mother died when the boy was barely fifteen. His father started a new family.

So, young Brichevs faced adulthood: cleaning barns, milking cows on a private farm … To the question “How did you become a pastry chef? ” – Aldis gives a very vital explanation: – As soon as I was left alone, had to constantly think about how to feed myself.

Aldis once caught the announcement of the hiring: a nearby farm required a confectioner. “To take me or not, the commission decided. Well, who am I? No school, no education. I came in holey shoes, having grabbed a pillow and sheets – there was nothing more at home. Judges with certificates and diplomas immediately said “no”. But one of them was an elderly woman who said: “I believe he will be a pastry chef”. Apparently, her voice was important, so I got the job. It was in 1989.
