Fruit Forward CELEBRATED PASTRY CHEF DIANE YANG SHARES A REFRESHING SUMMERTIME SWEET. B Y K AT E N E L S O N

Diane Yang has been busy making the Twin Cities a sweeter place. She’s the ace pastry chef behind the exquisite dessert menus at acclaimed eateries Bellecour and Spoon and Stable, where she complements chef and restaurateur Gavin Kaysen’s talent and zeal. Both were named James Beard Award nominees this year; her for Outstanding Pastry Chef and him for Best Chef: Midwest. Raised in Junction City, Wisconsin, and trained locally at Le Cordon Bleu, Yang made a name for herself at such Twin Cities institutions as Aquavit, Solera and La Belle Vie. When we tapped her for a summer-ready recipe, she offered up this home-chef-friendly take on her mouthwatering frozen meyer lemon parfait.
