In Chef’n It’s season finale episode, Chef Emily Thompson shares her signature Garden Pavlova, an approachable, at-home adaptation of the garden-inspired dessert featured on the 2025 autumn menu at.

Designed as a larger, shareable dessert for gathering and celebrating, the pavlova layers crisp meringue with bright seasonal flavors and delicate textures. During filming, ingredients like Tuscan melon, ginger lemongrass caramel, green Sichuan peppercorn, peach Thai basil sorbet, orange mint, and Thai basil reflected the flavors of late summer and early autumn, while marigolds and bachelor buttons from Chef Emily’s personal garden brought an added sense of place to the dish.

The beauty of a dessert like this is that it can be made year-round by simply adapting it to the flavors of the season. During the warmer months, visit your local farmers market for peak-season produce, herbs, and edible flowers to make the dessert your own at its freshest and most flavorful, while also supporting local growers and producers.

For of, dessert isn’t just the final course, it’s a way of connecting people. 🍽️

In the final episode of Season 1, she closes out the series showing how her approach is rooted in seasonality, sustainability, and storytelling.

Her Garden Pavlova reflects that philosophy: built from Colorado-grown fruit, herbs, and edible flowers, it’s designed to shift with the seasons and what the land offers. It’s not a fixed recipe, but a living one.

From heirloom grains and fermentation to repurposed ingredients from the kitchen and garden, Thompson’s work pushes dessert beyond decoration into something circular, thoughtful, and deeply tied to place.

The result is a reminder that the best desserts don’t just end a meal, they reflect where you are, and who you’re sharing it with.
