About Us |
| Award-winning cookbook author and chef Robert Lambert came to California in 1972 as a fine artist of sorts. By the time he left Los Angeles 5 years later his self-published books EGOZINE were in collections from the Beauboug in Paris to the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In the Bay Area he began his cooking career as a pastry chef, then a catering chef, a food stylist for advertising, magazines and books, and went on to publish his own Chocolate Fantasy Desserts (Chronicle Books) in 1989, for which he won an IACP award. He has written and tested recipes for caterers and major corporations, and says with pride, "I have never had a cooking class." He has long been hand-crafting his distinctive condiments in small batches to use and share. "Friends tired of waiting for Christmas or their birthdays finally persuaded me to begin selling them 6 years ago," he says with a smile. Read this article about Robert by editor Alexander Morozoff from the international chocolate magazine COCOAROMA. (RobertLambert_Cocoaroma.pdf)   Inspiration for these products came from a family farm in northern Wisconsin, where grandmother Florrie began cooking at 13 in the logging camps of the early 1900’s. Extensive preserving by mother and grandmother was a fond childhood memory. When these memories met the ingredients of his adopted California home–wine, grapes, citrus fruit and ginger-–-his product line was born.
