Janine Sciarappa

Janine Sciarappa discovered her love for pastry during many hours spent baking at the side of her Italian grandmother. She pursued her passion for the craft, earning her certificate in Culinary Arts from Boston University, where she trained under Julia Child, Jacques Pépin, and Albert Kumin. After completing BU’s Culinary Arts program, Chef Sciarappa went on to work in various high-end pastry shops in and around Boston. Her love of pastry and all things French brought her to Lenôtre in Paris to continue her education. Chef Sciarappa’s creativity and skill can also be seen in the food styling she has done for the Boston Globe. She is currently the core pastry instructor for Boston University’s Professional Culinary Arts and Professional Pastry Arts programs. Chef Sciarappa also owns and operates Sweet Lessons, through which she provides group and private instructions.
