Born in Sacramento and raised in a multigenerational family of chefs, Jessica spent her childhood in restaurants long before moving to Santa Fe as a teenager and entering the pastry world professionally at 18.  In college, she majored in criminal law and forensics with a minor in culinary arts- a combination that shaped the analytical, chemistry-driven approach she brings to pastry.

Brewer focuses on local and organic ingredients from Northern New Mexico and is known for using her understanding of flavor chemistry to integrate savory elements into her desserts that are surprising, balanced, and distinct in her plates.
