Jessica Craig is an Executive Pastry Chef at NYC restaurant, L’Artusi. With over 20 years of professional pastry experience under her belt.

The bank said the renowned guest chef had seen the ups and downs of the business, having been cooking her whole adult life.

“About five and a half years of Craig’s experience is from kitchens in the Hamptons. It was during that time that Craig found her first mentor in pastry chef, Molly Harding.”

Inspiration for Craig’s desserts comes from travel, dining out and strolls through the farmers’ market to see what’s available and in season. She has the most experience with Italian, Mediterranean, French, and American cuisines.

Craig was born and raised in Long Island and belongs to a huge Jamaican family with six sisters and four brothers. She has been drawn to the kitchen since childhood.  When it came time for college, Craig earned degrees in culinary arts and hospitality management from the New York Institute of Technology.
