Food lies at the heart of our bodies and our
culture; it is there for celebrations and
sustenance. NOMaste features a
local fierce foodie each month, in four weekly
segments. First, an interview, then a top 10 list,
followed by a recipe to share, and finally a food
review. This food corner will not just feature local
chefs but also restaurateurs, buyers, suppliers —
any woman involved in any aspect of the food chain,
from farm to food truck. Join us each week as we get
to know another Foodie in the city. Part I of this
month’s series can be found here.
This week Michele tells us where she goes to satisfy her sweet tooth when the craving arises — from macarons, to ice cream, to bonbons, to ganache. I know I’ll be hitting up all the local places (I already do!), but now a trip to all the other cities are in order to taste these delights. Good thing a lot of the out-of-town spots have online shops!
