I'm trading the safety and ease of this island nation for a return to the west coast (which is the best coast,
ahem). The move is happening in T-minus two and a half months and I am putting my brand new sort of okay camera to use. Here are some of the things I've been seeing lately in my work life:
Mise en place for a spice cake test.
An old edition one of our newer lunch desserts topped with a potent and delicious coffee ice cream.
What came out of our pastry team think machine when I put a couple ideas in. If you've never worked on a dish before, you'd be surprised at how much flavors, textures, and even the base idea can evolve. This tumbled out of a craving for spicy mango and horchata.
I'm going to miss my pastry team here incredibly. I can't be thankful enough for the experiences I've had and the things I've learned with them.
