Brazil’s Chef Lucas Corazza, Visiting Vendor at Smorgasburg this weekend
I love everything about cultural exchanges, especially when there’s food involved. This weekend, I learned that Smorgasburg is hosting a wonderful chocolatier and pastry chef from Brazil, Chef Lucas Corazza.
Chef Lucas is a renowned maker of fantastic desserts. For his weekend in New York City, he is creating four different confections representing four different regions of Brazil. All of the ingredients are from Brazil, and he is known for using Brazilian fruits, like cupuaçu, which is subtly pineapplish with a hint of passionfruit, and jabuticaba, a mild berry. The one exception is butternut squash, which is local and Lucas’ nod to our Thanksgiving feasting next week.
Chef Lucas’ visit is an exciting opportunity for New York food lovers to try his highly refined, beautiful and architectural creations. Plus, he’s lovely and charming and so happy to be in New York. He normally sells at the Feirinha Gastronomica, São Paolo’s own Smorgasburg-style food market.
Lucas has been whipping up his magic during the night shift this week in Roni-Sue’s Chocolates’ new shop and production space on Forsythe Street. There will be limited amounts of each of Chef Lucas’ four treats at Smorgasburg on Saturday and Sunday, so get there early and try them all!
