Vallery Lomas shares how she made the career pivot from lawyer to baking superstar. Vallery, also known as the Foodie in New York, reveals her go-to spots in the city and her definition of a “foodie.” She talks about her earliest food memories growing up in Baton Rouge and the first delightful dessert she learned to make. Vallery talks about how the recession and loss of a promised job after law school sparked her move to Paris to explore the culture and pastries. She talks about learning through failure and how the work ethic and communication skills she learned in law school have helped her as a baker. She talks about the recipes that inspired her latest cookbook, the experience of filming her own Food Network series, and what’s next for her.
