Her extraordinary talent, dedication to the craft, and innovative approach to cuisine have earned her accolades and admiration from both the culinary world and food enthusiasts around the globe. With a career spanning decades, Silverton’s influence in the realm of gastronomy is profound and far-reaching.

Silverton’s formal culinary education took place at the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu cooking school in London, where she honed her skills and developed a solid foundation in classic French cuisine. This training proved to be invaluable, as it laid the groundwork for her future culinary innovations and her ability to infuse traditional techniques with contemporary creativity.

One of the key milestones in Nancy Silverton’s career was her partnership with renowned chefs Mark Peel and Wolfgang Puck. Together, they opened the groundbreaking Los Angeles restaurant, Spago, in the early 1980s. This restaurant quickly became a beacon of fine dining, known for its innovative California cuisine. Silverton was the pastry chef at Spago, where she showcased her remarkable talents and brought dessert to the forefront of the culinary experience.

In 1989, Silverton ventured on her own and co-founded La Brea Bakery. The bakery, a small storefront on La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles, would go on to become one of the most influential artisanal bakeries in the United States. Silverton’s dedication to using the finest ingredients and time-honored baking methods resulted in bread that was not only delicious but celebrated for its craftsmanship. Her sourdough and baguettes quickly gained a loyal following among chefs and food enthusiasts.

It was at La Brea Bakery that Silverton’s commitment to perfection and her relentless pursuit of quality were most evident. The bakery’s success was unprecedented, and it played a pivotal role in the resurgence of artisanal bread-making in the United States. La Brea Bakery supplied bread to some of the country’s top restaurants, earning Silverton a well-deserved reputation as a bread artisan.

Under Silverton’s guidance, the restaurant offered an exceptional dining experience, with a menu that celebrated the richness and diversity of Italian cuisine.
