Dessert Dinner Collab
with Elise Russ and Anne Ng & Jeremy Mandrell
Anne & Jeremy met in Napa, California, while training as classical pastry chefs. In 2010, they set off for Texas where they founded their own artisanal Bakery Lorraine. From a farmer’s market stand to six locations, it became a beloved, award-winning San Antonio staple.
After twelve years, the James Beard-nominated pastry chefs decided to take their passion in a new direction: bringing nourishing and flavorful sweets to a wider audience—more than a bakery ever could. They started making Butternubs - small batch sablé cookies made with lots of care and only the best ingredients. They’re thrilled to introduce it to you at this dessert dinner in collaboration with Elise.
