Anastazia N.C. Carter has been named as the new pastry chef of Wish Restaurant at The Hotel. Anastazia, whose real name is Gertrude (just kidding), is a Summa Cum Laude graduate of Johnson & Wales University; she earned an Associates Degree in baking and pastry arts in November 2008. Prior to that she was pastry sous chef at Steak 954 at W Fort Lauderdale, and pastry chef at Casa Casuarina (aka Versace Mansion).
Carter’s new desserts ($10 – $12) include spiced carrot cake with carrot-ginger puree, candied pecans, raisins and fresh whipped cream; Meyer lemon pie in an almond crust with torched meringue and a strawberry-star anise puree; and guava yuzu cheesecake with cookie crust, almond crumble, macerated star fruit and elderflower-basil syrup. The chef’s complete dessert menu, still in development, is expected to be in place within the next month.
