Tuesday February 20th, Chef Francesca will be teaching you how to make a few varieties of the beloved Profiteroles. This little dessert makes quite an impact at small gatherings or romantic dinners with your loved ones. In no time, your friends and family will be calling you chef, after making this classic French pastry.
Bio:
My name is Francesca Lopez, I originally grew up in Southern California. My love for baking started when I moved to Ojai, California. It is a haven for local artists, woodworkers, painters, sculptors and bakers! As the Sous Chef for The Ojai Valley Inn and Resort, I had the opportunity to work. With some of the best chefs in the world like Chris Kostow, chef of the 3 michelin star restaurant Meadowood and the beloved Nancy Silverton. I always thought I would start and end my career in Ojai. However, I took a huge leap and moved my whole life to San Francisco. The melting pot of global cuisine. I worked with Chef Joe Ball, the executive chef of La Folie, where I cultivated dishes as well as desserts that encompass the local wines for elegant tasting menus. Now I am the Pastry Chef at Michael Mina’s restaurant, Bungalow Kitchen in Tiburon. Marin County is a chef’s dream location. Everything from the local bay area produce, the fresh seafood and the most delicious cheeses. This is now my home, which I am still in awe…My small, and still developing business, Zinnia Wildflower now has a chance to grow, like the determined flower that it is. I want to share my favorite, nostalgic recipes with you, with a fun twist of course. My offerings are not just sweet, but savory featuring cheese and charcuterie boards, freshly made breads, supporting local businesses that want to share their craft. It is my pleasure to share my love for food with you.
