Natasha Pickowicz’s Secret to Success: The pastry chef and cookbook author takes us inside the restaurant industry—and her closet. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to change the course of your career path, just look to Natasha Pickowicz: pastry chef, cookbook author, and prolific pop-up producer. Her story is proof that the most rewarding journeys are often anything but linear. Today, Natasha is best known for her illustrious restaurant career, hosting charity pop-ups that draw around-the block crowds, and her debut cookbook, More Than Cake. But she didn’t always dream of working in the food industry.

“My background is in writing—I studied English literature and worked in journalism—and I never imagined that the first thing I would publish would be a cookbook,” she says. “But the cookbook has turned out to be a perfect way to meld my experience as a pastry chef and my love of writing, storytelling, and presenting my world to people.”

at our Founders’ collection launch party, hosted in Sarah LaFleur’s Brooklyn home.

Natasha’s approach to pastry is innovative in many ways. Her recipes feature unexpected flavor combinations (have you ever had a cake made with miso?), but she also pushes the boundaries of baking by taking her work out of the kitchen and into the community, producing bake sales and events that benefit organizations like Planned Parenthood. She told us about her route to the pastry world, her love of uniforms, why she doesn’t think culinary school is necessary, and so much more. Read the Interview.

Overheard at M.M.: “Heaven on earth. Definitely the best decision I have made in a while.” —A customer describing not a dreamy vacation, but a blazer. See the Blazer.
