Laura Ragano Chef/Owner
While attending the University of Michigan, Chef Laura found herself cooking and baking to relieve stress from her classes. Upon graduation from the U of M she decided to pursue a career in the culinary arts, which had become her passion. Chef Laura graduated first in her class from The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY in 1999. She moved to Chicago to begin her career as a culinary professional.
Early on she knew she had a particular interest in pastries and pursued that in the kitchen. She attended The French Pastry School and graduated in 2001.
Upon graduation from the prestigious school, Chef Laura was fortunate to be offered a job as an assistant by the owner, Jacquy Pfeiffer. She stayed with the school for 10 years working her way up to chef instructor under the master guidance of Chef Pfeiffer and Chef Sebastien Canonne. Chef Laura decided it was time to hang up her toque (French Chef's hat) for a bit when her daughter arrived in 2010.
