The Christian Science Monitor ran this cool story
the other day about a pasty chef in Vermont named Marshall Faye. As the story goes, he revealed to friends as a child that he one day wanted to be a pastry chef. They all laughed, and his high school guidance counselor discouraged it.
But Faye got the last laugh.
Among other things, he bakes linzertortes – his signature creation for the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, Vt., where he has been the executive pastry chef for 30 years.
(Incidentally, the Trapp family is the same who escaped the Nazis. Johannes von Trapp and his mother, Maria, who died in 1987, begged Faye to work at the bakery and tearoom of their hotel, near Mt. Mansfield, Vermont's highest peak.)
