"Her multinational menu owes tribute to France for individual sized gateaux Basques filled with plum compote flavored with rum, aniseed and orange flower water as well as free-form, flaky-crusted, seasonal fruit tarts. Britain influenced elegant lemon curd tartlets and moist, rich ginger cake, while savory offerings such as potato and red onion focaccia and brioche buns studded with kalamata olives bring Mediterranean flavors".
"The Nomadic Oven is a customer favorite at Burlington's summer Farmer's Market, where owner/baker Jen Smith sells handmade creations inspired by the best baking traditions. From May to October, you can sign up with Nomadic to give someone a weekly box of treats that changes with the seasons choosing from boxes of whoopie pies, cupcakes, and signature seasonal cakes made with local ingredients and love. Boxes start at $25, and delivery is free within the Burlington, Vermont, area".
