Being born in Shanghai, graduating
from UC Davis in finance and international relations, working for Bank
of America on the foreign stock exchange trading floor, Cassandra
Chen left it all to find her true happiness surrounding herself with Foodies!
On a whim, she walked into Vertigo Restaurant and asked
for a job. She was hired on the spot and told to train that
night on the pastry line.

When her youngest started pre-school, Cassandra decided
to take the caramel corn she’d been making for family and
friends to a commercial level.

Health Benefits of Honey
The benefits of honey go beyond its great taste.
Honey is a great natural source of carbohydrates which provide strength and energy to
our bodies. Honey is known for its effectiveness in instantly boosting the performance, endurance and reduce muscle fatigue of athletes.
Its natural sugars play an important role in
preventing fatigue during exercise. The glucose in honey is absorbed by the body quickly
and gives an immediate energy boost, while the
fructose is absorbed more slowly providing sustained energy. It is known that
honey has also been found to keep
levels of blood sugar fairly constant compared to other types of
sugar.
