"My passion for food has been an important part of my life from a pretty young age, introducing itself to me in Minnesota where I grew up. This passion enticed me, entranced me and made me giddy, leading to many happy dances and outbursts that would come to be most welcome in a kitchen with fellow happy dancers. So off I set to work as a line cook in several amazing restaurants here in the U.S., following my dream to Saint Paul Technical College to pursue a Culinary Arts Degree. There, the magic and obsession of baking hit me like a monkey throwing a coconut; I was smitten. After absorbing everything I could dream of in culinary school, it was time to absorb a bit more – at a week-long pastry class in Munich Germany! Oh the flaky, buttery delightfulness of German baking. I learned much and was inspired plenty. From there, I headed back to begin my career as a Pastry Chef, working for restaurants and bakeries until I could open a little place of my own right here in Portland, OR. So far, it’s been a dream. I love the community of Portland, the relationships I’ve built with suppliers, customers, partners and friends and am thrilled to continue bringing you my very best sweet treats made with love." ~ Amber Darrington (Owner/ Chef of Le Cookie Monkey)
