Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla announces the arrival of acclaimed chef, baker, author, and James Beard Award-winning Chef Nancy Silverton for a four-night culinary residency from January 12 to 15, 2024. This exceptional collaboration is part of the Resort’s ongoing Chef in Residence program, which invites distinguished guest chefs and mixologists from across the globe to showcase their artistry and provide unparalleled experiences.
In collaboration with the Resort’s Executive Chef Manu Calderon and team, Chef Silverton will utilize the island’s bounty to highlight and bring her signature Italian cuisine and Mozza experience to life, all of which has made her a culinary icon.
Chef Silverton’s journey into the culinary world began with a determination to perfect her pastry skills, leading her to the prestigious Lenotre Culinary Institute in France. Her career soared as she became the head pastry chef at Wolfgang Puck’s innovative southern California restaurant, Spago.
A self-taught master of bread baking, Silverton’s passion culminated in the creation of La Brea Bakery in 1989. What started in a tiny storefront has grown into the nation’s top artisan bakery with 11 locations and global availability in 17 different countries. In 1990, the James Beard Foundation honoured her as “Pastry Chef of the Year,” and in 2014, she received the coveted James Beard Award for Outstanding Chef in America.
Her impact extends beyond the restaurant world, as she has authored 11 cookbooks, sharing her love for fine foods and culinary expertise. One of her recent culinary creations, The Cookie That Changed My Life: And More Than 100 Other Classic Cakes, Cookies, Muffins & Pies That Will Change Yours achieved the prestigious status of a New York Times bestseller.
“We are thrilled to welcome Chef Nancy Silverton to Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla as part of our ongoing Chef in Residence program,” says Diego Angarita, General Manager of Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla. “Her exceptional talent and passion for culinary excellence align perfectly with our commitment to delivering ownable five-star experiences.”
