Emily luchettis biography

Posted by Clara Herrero

With six cookbooks to her credit and numerous awards, Emily Luchetti has helped to define what great pastry means in the United States.

Her espresso chocolate chip angel food cake recipe makes a delicious dessert for a special occasion, and can help support small farmers when you buy ethically sourced chocolate.

As chief pastry officer for Big Night Restaurant Group in San Francisco, Emily drives the pastry vision for Leo’s Oyster Bar, The Cavalier, Marlowe, and Park Tavern Restaurants. She is an Oxfam Sister on the Planet ambassador and currently serves as the Chairwoman for James Beard Foundation Board of Trustees. Emily is the founder of dessertworthy, a movement to empower individuals to be mindful of their dessert indulgences.

Emily has selected a recipe that corresponds with our Eat for Good principle of supporting farmers. Fifty million people worldwide rely on cocoa—not for their chocolate fix, but to earn a living. Ninety percent of cocoa comes from small farms, so when buying chocolate for this recipe, look for a brand that guarantees farmers a fair price.

Room 21 at The Inn at Little Washington, named after the celebrated pastry chef Emily Luchetti, exudes classic elegance combined with cozy charm. The bedroom features a stately king-sized bed adorned with soft linens, framed by a warm wood-paneled headboard, and flanked by antique bedside tables. Gentle hues and striped wallpaper accentuate the room’s refined style, while the leather-tufted bench at the foot of the bed adds both comfort and sophistication. The room boasts a private balcony, offering guests serene views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, creating an idyllic setting for morning coffee or evening relaxation.

A gas fireplace framed by carved wood adds an inviting warmth to the space, perfect for unwinding with a book or glass of wine. Above the mantel, a landscape painting of the local countryside enhances the room’s connection to its scenic surroundings. The sitting area, with plush armchairs and a small wooden table, offers a peaceful retreat for intimate conversations or simply enjoying The Inn's ambiance. The floral drapes framing the windows and French doors lend a touch of timeless romance, softly filtering the natural light that fills the room.
