Gale Gand
Pastry chef Gale Gand of Brasserie T in Northfield, IL creates two spectacular desserts: a towering chocolate Napoleon and a "fettuccine" ice cream sandwich. The Napoleon is made of chocolate filo dough, poached pears, cranberry compote, whipped cream with ginger, and mocha granache, while the sandwich has raspberries and a fresh fruit kabob between more filo dough.
