Making Modern Patisserie With Eunji Lee Of Lysée

Hosted by Jessie SheehanProduced by Kerry Diamond and Catherine BakerEdited by Jenna SadhuRecorded at CityVox StudiosEunji Lee is taking patisserie to the next level at Lysée, her two-story pastry gallery/boutique in New York City. She’s become known for several of her contemporary creations, including the pastry simply known as “Corn.” However, as Eunji explains to host Jessie Sheehan, there is nothing simple about this confection. She shares the details behind the three-day process, from roasting and grinding the corn into a fine powder to making the cake base to hand-piping each “niblet.” Eunji, who grew up in South Korea, was drawn to pastry early on. She attended pastry school in Paris and trained under the likes of Alain Ducasse and Cédric Grolet before settling in New York. At Lysée, she draws inspiration from her Korean heritage, classical French training, and New York flavors to create her beautiful pastries and desserts.Thank you to Plugra Premium European Butter and California Prunes for supporting our show. She’s My Cherry Pie is a production of The Cherry Bombe Podcast Network.
