Making Modern Patisserie With Eunji Lee Of Lysée
Hosted by Jessie Sheehan
Produced by Kerry Diamond and Catherine Baker
Edited by Jenna Sadhu
Recorded at CityVox Studios
Eunji Lee is taking patisserie to the next level at Lysée, her two-story pastry gallery/boutique in New York City. She’s become known for several of her contemporary creations, including the pastry simply known as “Corn.” However, as Eunji explains to host Jessie Sheehan, there is nothing simple about this confection. She shares the details behind the three-day process, from roasting and grinding the corn into a fine powder to making the cake base to hand-piping each “niblet.”
Eunji, who grew up in South Korea, was drawn to pastry early on. She attended pastry school in Paris and trained under the likes of Alain Ducasse and Cédric Grolet before settling in New York. At Lysée, she draws inspiration from her Korean heritage, classical French training, and New York flavors to create her beautiful pastries and desserts.

Making Mochi Cake With Hetty Lui McKinnon
Take a look at Hetty Lui McKinnon’s latest cookbook, Tenderheart: A Book About Vegetables and Unbreakable Family Bonds, and it’s clear where the writer and recipe developer’s loyalties lie. Hetty admittedly has never been known for her desserts, but she did slip a few baking recipes into her new book, including one for a chewy, flavorful Ginger & Coconut Mochi Cake. On today’s episode, Hetty takes host Jessie Sheehan through the recipe and explains why this confection is “the most fail-proof cake you’re ever going to make.”
Hetty also talks about working with sticky rice flour, upgrading her spice cabinet, and finding the right pan for this recipe. She and Jessie also talk about a serious topic during the episode: grief. Jessie recently lost her father and Hetty lost her father when she was a teenager, so they discuss love and loss and why grieving is necessary.
