Joiners listeners probably know Anna Posey as the pastry chef and visionary behind the dessert menu at Elske, the contemporary American restaurant she co-owns with her husband David Posey in the West Loop. Elske opened in 2016 and channels Anna and her husband’s philosophy of simplicity coupling seasonal ingredients with energetic hospitality. Anna came into pastry with a background in art and design, having studied painting and drawing at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design – and her artistic sensibility and process shine through in her craft. She comes to the studio to tell us about her journey, how she combines classic techniques with a modern vision, Elske's evolving menu, and so much more.
