La Caille Just got a Whole Lot Sweeter


La Caille is the premier French Restaurant in Salt Lake City and is proud to introduce Rebecca Millican as their new French pastry chef.  Rebecca was the Pastry Chef Instructor at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City for 10 years. Prior to joining the faculty at ICE, Rebecca worked at the 4-star Ryland Inn in Whitehouse, NJ, L'Espinasse in New York and Park Pastries in Hoboken. In addition to chocolate work, her specialties include wedding cakes, candy making, and gingerbread houses.
She has had her work featured on television and in print. She has appeared on the Better Homes and Gardens television show, the Food Network, and Good Day New York. Her gingerbread houses and holiday specialties have also been featured in The New York Post and Country Living Gardener magazine. In 2005 Rebecca coached a team of students to a first place ribbon in the "Gingerbread on Broadway" competition held at the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel. When Rebecca returned to Salt Lake City, she became an acclaimed chocolatier and continued to sharpen her pastry craft.

La Caille invested in a pastry chef because they value all courses of the meal. It has been Rebecca’s experience that in many establishments — even fine dining — the dessert is an afterthought. La Caille wants to give you the best experience from beginning to end. This impression includes lovely grounds, impeccable service, and of course a five-star dining experience.

Rebecca is excited to introduce desserts that complement the seasonal menu of La Caille. For the fall and winter season, Rebecca has created a delicious, tantalizing chocolate and caramel cake. The richness of the cake is perfectly balanced with a baked grapefruit infused with rosemary. The pumpkin gingerbread tiramisu has become the staff favorite. Other seasonal favorites will include peppermint and eggnog themed items. A twist on a traditional Buche De Noel is also expected to premier at La Caille this winter.

To celebrate the upcoming holiday season and the arrival of Rebecca, La Caille is hosting their third annual Lights On Celebration. You are invited to visit La Caille and stroll the grounds trimmed  in holiday sparkling lights. During the celebration, guests are invited to sip hot chocolate and taste Rebecca’s famous homemade marshmallows and cookies.

Come experience not only the best French Cuisine in Salt Lake City, but also the finest French pastries and chocolate at its best. We would love to satisfy your sweet tooth!
