Being raised in a Caribbean household in the Bronx, Chef Reen was consistently introduced to vibrant and robust flavors that enriched her culinary perspective. From a young age, she actively assisted her grandmother with cooking and baking, fostering a deep appreciation for the culinary arts. Reflecting on her time with her grandmother, FloJo, she draws continual inspiration from those cherished moments. One of her most memorable experiences is baking a traditional Caribbean cake known as Jamaican Rum Cake, also referred to as Black Cake. Recognizing her passion for baking, she embarked on a professional journey within the food industry, gaining valuable experience at esteemed establishments such as Babbo Ristorante and Otto Enoteca, among others. After two decades of dedicated work in the culinary field, she was confident that baking is her true calling. To advance her expertise, she enrolled in culinary school, graduating from Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts with a degree in Pastry and Baking, and graduating at the top of her class with honors. Her unwavering passion for baking has transformed into the creation of exquisite and visually stunning desserts, reflecting both her dedication and skill.
