On this week's Chefs Without Restaurants podcast, I speak with Philadelphia pastry chef Monica Glass. Upon graduating from Penn State, Monica moved to New York City to embark on a career in public relations. But after a brief stint in the corporate world, she realized she felt more at home in front of an oven than behind a desk. Monica set out to improve her culinary skills with an apprenticeship under Deborah Racicot, executive pastry chef at New York City’s Gotham Bar and Grill. After seven months of moonlighting as an extern, Monica enthusiastically joined the team at Gotham Bar and Grill full time. She continued to develop and refine her skills, working with chefs Michael Laiskonis, Eric Ripert and Ken Oringer, to name just a few. In 2015, Glass moved back home to Philadelphia to accept the role of Corporate Pastry Chef with Constellation Culinary Group, where she oversaw the pastry program for company operations from Massachusetts to Florida for 4 years. After working in high prestige, high volume kitchens for the past 15 years, Monica is now embarking on a new adventure on her own consulting with restaurants, bakeries, cafes, brands, and food and lifestyle publications, as well as navigating the virtual class landscape and building a brand herself. ========== Monica Glass ========== Monica's Instagram https://www.instagram.com/chefmoni/ Monica's Website http://chefmonicaglass.com/ Monica's Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/chefmonicaglass Monica's Twitter https://www.facebook.com/chefmonicaglass ================ CONNECT WITH US ================ Get the Chefs Without Restaurants Newsletter https://mailchi.mp/fe0d8a0cc7a6/chefs-without-restaurants-email-list Visit Our Amazon Store (we get paid when you buy stuff) https://www.amazon.com/shop/perfectlittlebites?isVisitor=true Check out our websites (they have different stuff) https://chefswithoutrestaurants.org/ & https://chefswithoutrestaurants.com/ Like our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/chefswithoutrestaurants Join the private Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/chefswithoutrestaurants Join the conversation on Twitter https://twitter.com/ChefsWoRestos Check our Insta pics https://www.instagram.com/chefswithoutrestaurants/ Founder Chris Spear’s personal chef business Perfect Little Bites https://perfectlittlebites.com/ Watch on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHXxixMxjf05XxUIbz6ER-Q If you want to support the show, our Venmo name is ChefWoRestos and can be found at https://venmo.com/ChefWoRestos.
