"At the Williamsburg diner, pastry chef Jackie Carnesi continues her monthlong Sweet Friends collaboration series with a holiday Filipino peppermint baked Alaska created with James Beard Award–winner Abi Balingit—built from chocolate bibingka, candy cane ice cream, and torched meringue—folding Balingit into a lineup of guest pastry chefs creating limited-run sweets for the diner; alongside the baked Alaska, the diner is also selling signed copies of her cookbook, Mayumu: Filipino American Desserts Remixed." - Melissa McCart
