Biography
Tracy Wilk grew up in Miami, where she sparked a love of baking at a young age that never waned.

After earning her bachelor’s degree at the University of Central Florida, Tracy enrolled at the Natural Gourmet Institute, ironically a leader in health-focused cuisine, in New York City. Tracy’s culinary career was shaped at ABC Kitchen, where she focused on farm fresh cuisine. In 2013, she joined the team at David Burke Kitchen, overseeing the pastry program as well as shaping the programs at Burke’s Aspen Kitchen and SaltBrick Tavern.
