Classics Reimagined
 

Elevating The Nostalgic

Some dishes hold a special place in our hearts. Reimagining a homemade favorite is a great way to honor a classic dish but with on trend and healthier ingredients. Pastry Chef Raymond Morales does just this by crafting elevated twists on homemade favorites he grew up enjoying in Los Angeles.

Chef Raymond Morales (IG @mowelr) “My name’s Raymond Morales, and I’ve been working in the food industry for 16 years now. These are some dishes and flavors I truly love and are nostalgic to me for many reasons. Growing up in Los Angeles, Mexican mango paletas are very common and the pate de fruit I made is a modern French-inspired interpretation. Key lime pie, strawberry rhubarb pie, and cheesecake have been some of my favorite desserts since I was a child, so I decided to do my own modern take on them. I hope you enjoy them!”
