 Le Crescent, Le Crescent. Le, le, le. I grew up both in the Bronx and the Dominican Republic. I was born in the Bronx. The Dominican Republic is where I've really learned how to appreciate food. We're gonna take sweet plantains, blueberries, cashews, and our Le Crescent baking dish. Food is something that we can use to unite, to love, and to care for other people. It's super important for me to keep creating these kinds of dishes that have touches of my background and my influence. Food is the perfect vessel to tell these stories in a palpable way.
