Pastry Chef Fabrice Bouet at Lockwood is kind of amazing. He is a perfect four for four of the desserts I tried after a decadent dinner. A poached peach and mixed berry compote dessert is light and fun, sweetened with a touch of maple syrup and miniature lemon meringues. It’s so colorful, like something I [...]
