Thornwood Resident Becomes New Pastry Chef at New Canaan's Renown Roger Sherman Inn

Jessica Minisci of Thornwood has joined New Canaan's Roger Sherman Inn as Pastry Chef. A graduate of Culinary Institute of America, Jessica has spent the past four years adding pastry innovation to the menus of well known Westchester and New York City dining destinations, including The Bedford Post Inn and Westchester Country Club.  Known for integrating seasonal ingredients into her desserts, the Inn’s new menu features a chocolate and raspberry bombe with locally farmed raspberries (see photo).  A key lime tart with a graham-walnut crust, presented with homemade raspberry sorbet also graces the menu.  Jessica has built a reputation for her creation of themed cakes for all kinds of special occasions –- a talent that serves as a perfect complement to the Inn’s banquet business.  Come visit the Roger Sherman Inn at 195 Oenoke Ridge and taste for yourself.  Contact us at 203-966-4541 or info@rogershermaninn.com
