11. Vanilla: Chef Natasha Pickowicz & Nielsen-Massey

Pastry chef Natasha Pickowicz is passionate about vanilla – where it comes from, how it’s made and its versatility. She was nominated for three James Beard awards as the former executive pastry chef at New York City’s Flora Bar and Café Altro Paradiso and now runs her own pop-up called Never Ending Taste. She opens up about the impact her Chinese heritage has on her baking and the opportunities that arose out of the pandemic. Beth Nielsen of Nielsen-Massey Vanillas shares the company’s decade-long history, where they source their vanilla from, and how their production process plays a role in their top quality products.
