The James Beard-Nominated Pastry Chef Showcases the Vibrancy of Vanilla
Join acclaimed pastry chef and James Beard Award–nominated cookbook author Caroline Schiff as she serves up a menu that proves vanilla is as vibrant as it is versatile.
A Food & Wine Best New Chef and former executive pastry chef at Brooklyn's iconic Gage & Tollner, Caroline has crafted a three-course brunch (with some bonuses!) where Nielsen-Massey vanilla finds its way into every savory and sweet bite—from gravlax to French toast cake—and even into your martini glass.
