This week, Executive Pastry Chef and confection Domini-queen of Kith and Kin, Paola Velez, joins us in our Corona-free recording bubble to discuss how she caught baking fever. From a cacao-farming family to fine chocolatier, Paola draws upon her Dominican roots and NYC training to simplify and showcase childhood ingredients. Rum cake, arroz con dulce, and ugli fruit get honorable mentions, Eddie runs into a “Florida man,” and Mathew gets insatiably hungry. Powered and distributed by Simplecast.
