Hi, I’m Jaime!

I am a chef, baker, and writer based in Brooklyn, New York. My work focuses on sustainable, seasonal, and accessible food systems, highlighting the ways in which food expresses identities and bridges cultural, political, and economic divisions.

I am a graduate of the Food Studies program at New York University, and have spent the last 8 years in a wide range of food establishments in both front of house and back of house roles. Most recently, i worked as the head baker for Daughter and their coffee bar at Sincerely, Tommy, in addition to developing the opening bread and pastry menu at Che, a new coffee shop and wine bar in Bed-Stuy. I have also worked as a freelance writer, with work published in Grub Street, Eater, and more.

I believe firmly in the power of food to bring people together and help share our stories. Through connections to agriculture and the environment, as well as studies of social and cultural dynamics, I hope to fundamentally change the way we think and talk about food from the ground up.
