Chef Mel Asseraf is not just a one time champion… she is a two time champion of Food Network’s Chopped - a show I grew up watching and playing in my own kitchen. Quite honestly, anyone who can make duck liver "work" in a dessert is an inspiration to me… Today, Chef Mel is a cookbook author, and the CEO of her own company - Bake it with Mel. In our conversation we chat about everything from how her journey started, to what it was like to study pastry in Paris, and she reveals a few key baking tips that you can take with you into your kitchen. Mel’s way of teaching totally opened my eyes to the endless possibilities of baking. I am SO excited not only to try her recipes and grab her book, but also to see what she does next.
