As seen on TV
Yule logs and cream puffs and mousse cakes, oh my! Douglas Phillips is in it to win it on the Food Network’s “Holiday Baking Championship.” And when he’s not taking down the competition, Phillips is a culinary arts instructor at North Shore Community College (NSCC) in Massachusetts.
The pastry chef had worked in the fast-paced restaurant industry before joining NSCC in 2017. Earlier this year, Phillips launched a year-long baking and pastry certificate program at the college. His current fame has given the college a new opportunity to promote the program. And for those looking to try Phillips’ recipes, coming this spring, the pastry case at the on-campus Beacon Café will feature some of his tasty creations – but baked by students.
“Holiday Baking Championship” airs Monday nights.
