We proudly add Chef Shaun Velez, @shvelez to our growing family of Chef Ambassadors. As Executive Pastry Chef of the iconic Restaurant Daniel in NYC, Shaun recalls “Growing up, I baked alongside my grandmother, always using vanilla extract. I never saw an actual vanilla bean until culinary school. It wasn’t until working with a guest chef that I fully grasped how delicate and complex vanilla can be. Her signature dessert featured vanilla, Madagascar peppercorn, and sweet floral jasmine. I was amazed by the contrasting depth of flavor in a dish that remained both light and delicate. The vanilla enhanced the peppercorn’s floral notes without eclipsing the jasmine’s unique flavor. It was the first time I recognized vanilla as the true star of the plate.” #Culinary #Vanilla #NielsenMassey #Chef #ChefLife #NielsenMasseyCulinary
