The Passionate Parfait
Baker Valerie Gordon
Taking her cue from Dries Van Noten's elegant midi dresses and exuberant blooms, Valerie gordon of Valerie Confections - one of L.A.'s most lauded artisan chocolatiers - whipped up this decadent dessert of mousse topped with apricot jam and crowned by an exotic flower that echoes the designer's lush floral embellishments. "I love the flow of Van Noten's clothes, and I study his work for inspiration," says Gordon. Her creations, like his, are witty, classic, and cool. "Fashion and food are so similar in the way they excite the senses," she says.
