On today's episode of All in the Industry®, host Shari Bayer's guest is Claudia Fleming, the Proprietor & Pastry Chef at The North Fork Table & Inn in Southold, Long Island, NY. When Claudia was named Outstanding Pastry Chef by the James Beard Foundation in 2000, it was a well-earned recognition of the new chic, sophisticated, unfussy and casually graceful style she introduced - and continues - in her classically inspired, seasonal desserts and pastries.Claudia’s craft and approach to ingredients reflects the time she spent working in restaurants in New York (Jams, Union Square Cafe, Montrachet, TriBeCa Grill, and Gramercy Tavern) and in Paris (Fauchon).

They set out to serve extraordinary food in a simply adorned, formal room, to create a dining experience like that found in the European countryside; and they succeeded. Claudia's exquisite book, The Last Course: Desserts from Gramercy Tavern, (Random House 2001), is prized by cooks and collectors alike. Her recipes have also been featured in numerous national publications, and she has served as a judge on TV's Chopped and Top Chef: Just Desserts Today's show also features Shari's PR tip, Speed Round, Industry News discussion, and Solo Dining experience at Chef Cedric Vongerichten's Wayan in NYC.

On today's episode of All in the Industry®, host Shari Bayer's guests are Connie McDonald and Pam Weekes, founders of Levain Bakery based in NYC, known for its world famous cookies. Connie, a dedicated triathelete, has always had a passion for cooking (particularly Italian). But she discovered her passion for baking only in 1993 after she gave up her career in Investment Banking to enroll at Peter Kump’s New York Cooking School. Now, after more than a decade as a professional baker, she still enjoys baking bread that is as beautiful to look at as it is to taste. Pam has never forgotten the wholesome, homemade bread and treats of her childhood on the North Shore of Long Island. It’s not just a tremendous fondness for desserts that runs in her family, but also the joy of baking them and sharing with the ones you love. Like Connie, she is also a competitive athlete and, before the two met and came together to start Levain Bakery, she worked for legendary fashion designer Norma Kamali.Today's show also features Shari's PR tip, Speed Round, Industry News discussion, and Solo Dining experience at Odette in Singapore.
