Priscilla Munoz, a South Florida native, decided that baking would be
her life’s calling the first day she walked into the Florida Culinary
Institute.
“I went into the pastry kitchen, saw all of the incredible creations and
fell in love. I knew I had found my passion.”
Her first job after graduation was two years in the kitchens at the Mar-
a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, which set high standards for performance.
She has since worked at the Country Club at Mirasol in Palm Beach
Gardens and spends her summers at the exclusive Bald Peak Colony
Club in Moultonborough, New Hampshire.
Priscilla is excited to be working at restaurant 44 Palm Beach where she
