Natasha Pickowicz is an NYC-based pastry chef, writer, and activist. Most recently, she ran the pastry programs at NYC restaurants Altro Paradiso, Flora Bar, and Flora Coffee. Earlier this spring, Natasha was announced as a Finalist for the 2020 James Beard Foundation Awards for Outstanding Pastry Chef, her third year being nominated in that category. Much of her pastry work explores the relationship with baking and social justice, including ongoing collaborations with seminal NYC institutions like Lenox Hill Neighborhood House, God's Love We Deliver, and Planned Parenthood of Greater New York, for whom she helped produce a massive city-wide bake sale, raising over $150,000 between 2017-2019. Most recently, Natasha co-founded The Bake Sale Project (TBSP), an online resource that aims to explore and share bake sale strategies for home bakers and professionals alike. Since summer of 2020, Natasha has created her own pastry pop-up called Never Ending Taste, which celebrates the relationship between local farming, social justice, and community bake sales, and has been held at NYC’s Superiority Burger, LA’s Kismet, and San Diego’s Chino Farms.
