Here’s some big news: Heather Earnhardt, preternatural pastry maker at Volunteer Park Cafe, is moving on from the restaurant, according to a release.
Earnhardt, who helped to open and was with the cafe for five years, is leaving to teach baking and consult on projects. (Something she’s familiar with: High 5 Pie’s Dani Cone enlisted her help in early 2011.)
Two of Earnhardt’s “protégées” will take over for her, and VPC chef and owner Ericka Burke will have a hand in the baking as well. Anyone who has sampled Earnhardt’s baked goodness (especially those chocolate chip cookies) knows those are big red shoes to fill.
I saw Heather make a Meyer lemon pie on a food cooking show on Bravo and have been fantasizing about it since. Living in FL, I have a beautiful Meyer lemon tree but have not found a recipe to duplicate what I saw. :-( Good luck is all you do…You definately have a gift!
