What began as a pandemic pop-up from pastry chef Kaitlin Guerin and partner Lino Asana has now grown into one of the most exciting new bakeries in the country. At Lagniappe Bakehouse in New Orleans, Guerin blends the ingredients and spices of the African diaspora with the deep culinary traditions of New Orleans to create unique pastries. In less than a year, Guerin has earned a James Beard Award nomination for Emerging Chef, praise from Eater, and a spot on the New York Times Best New Bakeries list.
