Hi! I’m Allison.
With 20+ years of experience in the food & bev biz, I’m passionate about helping others execute their visions with creativity and consistency.
I got my start in Brooklyn and am currently based in Paris, where I’m a freelance F&B consultant, recipe developer, and culinary concierge.
Hospitality Consulting
My experience in this industry is diverse, with particular expertise in pastry, cocktails, and plant-based dishes and desserts. Having opened two successful cocktail bars (Butter & Scotch in Brooklyn and Abricot in Paris), I have a thorough understanding of what it takes to launch, operate, and retool, bringing solid systems, cohesive vision, and clear communication to the table, and ensuring that my clients are set up for success, with concrete tools to grow and develop their projects into the future.
Recipe Development
I’ve written two cookbooks, First Prize Pies and Butter & Scotch, and developed and tested hundreds of dessert and cocktail recipes for consulting clients and my own bars. I approach each new project with curiosity, enthusiasm, and rigor, developing thoroughly-tested recipes that are clearly written for their target audience.
