ATC Love to Chef Lina Biancamano

It's always so hard to see the first pastry chef of the season pack up their offset spatulas and pastry bags and hit the road. After all, we haven't even begun to know the season's competitors. Such is the case with Lina Biancamano, who had conflicts with her team mates and wasn't able to show us how dedicated and talented a pastry chef she really is.

We're sorry to see you go so soon, Chef Lina, and we wish you much success in the future.

Meet the Pastry Chefs - Lina Biancamano

HOMETOWN: Phoenix, AZ
RESIDES: Fort Worth, TX
PROFESSION: Executive Pastry Chef, Stephan Pyles
CULINARY EDUCATION: A.O.S. Culinary Arts, Le Cordon Bleu
FAVORITE SIMPLE SUMMER RECIPE: Fresh berry tart with creme chiboust

Lina was born in Long Island, NY, and raised in Arizona, where she later received her culinary education at the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu in Scottsdale. Professionally, she is inspired by Thomas Keller, whose food she finds beautiful, innovative, and clean, and because he presents unusual ingredients and complicated techniques in an approachable way. Lina also believes in incorporating seasonal ingredients into her recipes. If she had to decide on her last meal, it would be a well-seasoned, grilled ribeye steak with a salad and some garlic cheddar biscuits.
