Ham and cheese on a roll with an orange drink? Nah, growing up in the Bronx, pastry chef Paola Velez's go-to bodega order was sour straws and a bag of lemonheads. 🍬 If you know, you know.
Velez has gone on to train under the likes of Jacques Torres and Christina Tosi, but her James Beard Award–winning cookbook "Bodega Bakes" is proof that she never forgot her roots, weaving her New York upbringing and Dominican heritage seamlessly into easy, exquisite desserts.
Just in time for the summer, we sat down with Velez to discuss why bodegas are the perfect third space—and we got three of her favorite frozen dessert recipes to cool you off in your own kitchen.
