About
Us
La
Pomme de Pin is a specialty foods store located
in Barrington, IL, featuring organic specialty
items, artisan cheeses & breads, prepared meals,
desserts and heirloom produce. We use all natural and organic ingredients
and support local, sustainable agriculture
wherever possible, with all products hand selected by
Chef/Co-Owner, Erin Bailey.
Erin's cuisine reflects the classic French method that she learned while studying cuisine and pastry at the renowned
Le Cordon
Bleu, Paris,
where she completed Le Grand
Diplôme with honors. She continued her education through several apprenticeships in some of the most acclaimed kitchens in the world. Her experiences include working with Alice Waters' team at
Chez
Panisse, in Berkeley, CA, with Daniel
Boulud at Daniel in New York City and with Neil Perry at
Rockpool in Sydney, Australia. From there she continued her training in Thailand,
at the Thai Cooking School in the Oriental Hotel, Bangkok. Her entrepreneurial spirit led her to Cornell where she completed her Masters in Hospitality Management from the Hotel School, gaining the knowledge necessary to create La Pomme de Pin.
Erin's preparation is pure, with respect for ingredients. Inspired by her worldly experiences,
her food is ethnically diverse, responsibly
sourced and simply crafted to highlight the
quality components to which she is committed.
