Risa's Reviews
Vanillamore is a staple of Montclair, and my go-to for every party and event. From cheese platters to sweet spreads, Risa is a force with a unique and interesting vision. Everything she touches looks and tastes extraordinary.

I’ve had the unique pleasure of watching Chef Risa grow, not only as a chef, but as a person. She is bold, creative and fearless–in the kitchen, in business, and in life. Every dish tells a story; one I’m always happy to devour.

Cookbook Reviews
If you look closely, many of the images in this cookbook show food being displayed communally. This reflects the spirit of Chef Boyer and her food philosophy: at Vanillamore, and from these recipes, the food silently communicates that there is always room at the table for one more person. Whether your preference is sweet or savory, it is always tastier when shared.

If anyone knows how to make desserts that are beautiful, creative, sensational and fun, it’s Risa Magid Boyer. Her desserts never disappoint. They always delight. And more often than not, they make you stop and wonder: How in the world did she come up with that?
