With a passion for crafting and plating food that brings joy to people, Lauren Yerrick joined the Parcel 32 team as Pastry Chef in May 2018. Her eagerness to leave an impact on Parcel 32’s diners by incorporating the history of Charleston’s food culture into her creations is reflected in her variety of beautiful desserts.

Yerrick is no stranger to Patrick Properties Hospitality Group, as she has served on the team as the Assistant Pastry Chef for PPHG events since February 2017. Prior to that, she built her experience planning menus, managing pastry cooks, and cooking for large-scale events, most notably at Cassique at the Kiawah Island Club, where she worked with consulting chef Tom Colicchio to create dessert menus.

Yerrick graduated from DCT University Center in Switzerland where she studied Culinary and Pastry Arts and earned an advanced certificate in European pastries and chocolates. Career highlights include contributing recipes for Diana DeLucia’s cookbook, “Golf Kitchen,” participating in the 2017 James Beard Celebrity Chef Dinner at Lowndes Grove in Charleston, and joining the Parcel 32 team as Pastry Chef, where she wows guests through the self-expression of her food and plating.

When Yerrick is not in the Parcel 32 kitchen, she enjoys spending her free time with friends over tasty drinks and food, relaxing at the beach with a good book, watching movies, and whipping up something new in her home kitchen.
