We have a special edition of BrightRx this month to celebrate our new fruit-forward vinegars. Isabel Coss has shared a beautiful Summer Berries Ricotta Tart with us using RAPTURE.
Isabel Coss is the pastry chef for Cosme and ATLA, Enrique Olvera and Daniela Soto-Innes’ contemporary Mexican restaurants in New York City, as well as Elio in Las Vegas. She first fell in love with cooking alongside her grandmother and fondly recalls early memories of the colorful candy street stands in Mexico City. She tells stories through her technique-driven desserts, celebrating and finding inspiration in local ingredients as well as the flavors she grew up with in Mexico. She took on her first kitchen job at the age of 17 as a bread baker in Enrique Olvera’s landmark restaurant Pujol in Mexico City.

This tart is my take on those memories, I paired Brightland's RAPTURE with the berries to highlight the acidity and balance the sweetness of New York summer berries." - Isabel Coss[close type="rte"] [open type="rte"]
