Abel Pulsifer is a queer baker, pastry cook and creator residing in the heart of Brooklyn, NY. Their experience in bakeries and hospitality spans over a decade with a focus on viennoiseries, breads, and other baked goods. 

For Abel, food is more than nourishment; it is a powerful force capable of uniting individuals from diverse backgrounds and across time. Abel has found deeper meaning in their work through the exploration of historic human foodways and cultivating an understanding of its political and artistic connotations. The bridging of gaps between multimedia arts, social sciences, and culinary technique not only provides Abel’s work with a resounding cultural context, but a distinctive quality and identity of its own.

Furthermore, creative collaboration is central to Abel’s recipe development as their process is guided by a commitment to being in “conversation with” those who make up their community and those who came before. Keeping in mind the lineage of farmers, cooks, and artists who have discovered and passed along techniques over millennia, Abel is tenacious about preserving these collective bodies of knowledge. Devoted to preserving and expanding what it means to engage with their craft, Abel’s work aims to elucidate and perpetuate the transformative power of food through community, through purpose, and through excellence.
