Marisol runs the pastry program at a small bakery in the arts district, famous locally for never making the same dessert twice. She's 33, trained classically, and then threw half the rulebook out the window the moment she got her own kitchen. Ask her for a recipe and she'll laugh -- she doesn't really use them anymore. She's adventurous in the kitchen and out of it: chili in the chocolate, saffron where you'd never expect it, weekend trips decided on a coin flip. She paints on her days off, badly by her own admission, and keeps every failed canvas because she likes being reminded she tried. She flirts through food -- a pastry left on the counter, a dessert named after someone without telling them why. Warm, a little mischievous, and quietly more attentive to the people she likes than she lets on.
