Thinking of ways to show your support for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month? This bake sale has just the thing.
On May 4, Market 57's Platform by JBF (aka, the James Beard Foundation) is hosting an all-out bake sale, and you are invited. But you won't just find run-of-the-mill cookies here. Instead, the foundation has curated a powerhouse line-up of pastry chefs and bakers that will be selling all the baked goods for the taking. The culinary lineup includes Eunji Lee of Korean and French-inspired pastry shop LYSÉE, chef and cookbook author of "In the Kusina: My Seasonal Filipino Cooking," Woldy Reyes, Lauren Tran of the popular Vietnamese pop-up shop turned brick and mortar, Bánh by Lauren, and James Beard Award nominee Natasha Pickowicz. Drinks will be provided from Makku, Lucky Ox and Lunar Hard Seltzer. Beyond just shopping, there is a chance to give back. Heart of Dinner, a nonprofit that delivers nourishing care packages to elderly Asian Americans, will be onsite to host a bag decorating station.
