Episode 44
Mexican Chef Fany Gerson is a successful business owner and a household name across America’s major food magazines and specialised websites when it comes to traditional Mexican confectionary and frozen treats.
Fany comes from a Ukranian-Jewish and Mexican heritage, the shared family-centred food culture of both have had a key role in the way she has developed her culinary identity.
After training at the Culinary Institute of America and working for Michelin star restaurants she co-founded Dough, a doughnut-devoted artisan bakery with locations in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Dough was voted America’s best doughnut shop in 2017. Later on she founded La Newyorkina, an ice cream and iced lollies parlour and catering services specialised in artisanal frozen Mexican treats and sweets.
This insightful conversation is a truly unique opportunity to get up close and personal with one of Mexico’s most acclaimed culinary ambassadors in the US who has built a very sweet empire with passion, resilience and enormous creativity.
