One of the many stars in our kitchen

At Main Course, we are blessed to have a slew of talented chefs working in our kitchen. And one of these gems is Nadia Licea - both pastry chef and, shall we say, a jack of all trades. She is a graduate of San Francisco's California Culinary Academy, and before joining us, she worked at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks and Tierra Sur, the kosher restaurant at Herzog Wine Cellars.

When it comes to cakes, Nadia is our go-to gal. Here she is, just yesterday, with a cake she made for a client. A 12-inch square chocolate cake with white chocolate mousse, buttercream frosting, and fresh berries. ..


Earlier this week we filmed Nadia, hard at work in the Main Course kitchen, making a delicious salad with locally grown frisee, bacon lardon, brown butter croutons, poached egg, crispy shallots, and a white wine vinaigrette.
