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.
