Celebrity chef Brooke Williamson is introducing an exclusive Cranberry-Apple Holiday Crisp to corporate dining through Modern Recipe locations for a limited time. The dessert features cinnamon-spiced cranberry apple compote with a sugar cookie crumble, topped with vanilla bean crème fraîche, drawing direct inspiration from Williamson's childhood holiday memories. As Culinary Ambassador for Modern Recipe, Williamson explained the personal significance behind the creation, noting that her mother would prepare baked apples and fresh cranberry sauce with orange juice as special holiday treats during her youth.
Joe Ganci, President of Sodexo Corporate Services for North America, emphasized the importance of bringing chef-driven experiences to workplace dining environments. Modern Recipe is focused on transforming everyday dining into memorable experiences that employees can share with their families beyond the workplace setting. The brand prioritizes delivering seasonal and nourishing culinary experiences that support employee well-being through responsibly sourced, sustainable ingredients. This approach represents a shift from traditional corporate food service toward more meaningful dining interactions.
The Cranberry-Apple Holiday Crisp represents Williamson's effort to bring cherished childhood memories to life and share seasonal warmth and flavors with others through a dessert that evokes feelings of home. As Culinary Ambassador, Williamson infuses her signature California style into Modern Recipe's offerings with fresh, seasonal dishes that create meaningful food stories connecting with the communities the brand serves. The holiday crisp is available as a single portion during lunch service or as a full crumble to take home for holiday gatherings, providing flexibility for employees to enjoy the dessert during busy workdays or share with loved ones at home.
