Baked Goods
I spent 5 years as a pastry pro—it was by far my favorite of all my restaurant gigs. Not only did I get to work with my hands and learn every day (baking is equal parts science and art), but I also got to do it while making the world taste good. TBH, I feel like a baker first and a cook second. Here are some of my favorite ways to scratch that baking itch:
