Before Chef Toni Lynn Dickinson returned to her alma matter — the International Culinary Center — as Pastry Chef Instructor in 1997, she was working in some of NYC’s most exclusive kitchens like The River Café and Le Cirque.

But, what many don’t know is that Chef Toni was dazzling audiences long before her career as a Pastry Chef.
