Christina Tosi Research Paper

Improved Essays
Christina Tosi isn’t what the industry would call a typical pastry chef. Which isn’t a bad thing! In fact, her bubbly personality and odd habits like eating Tang Toast; toasted white bread with margarine and a sprinkle of Tang drink mix (Tosi, 131) is what makes Momofuku Milk Bar brilliant!

    The murals on the second floor of the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology are scaled watercolor replications of the those painted on the walls of the so-called Villa of the Mysteries in Italy. They were commissioned by Francis W. Kelsey in 1924 to preserve the amazing images of the frescoes from continuing deterioration and were re-created by Maria Barosso, an Italian artist, over the course of two years.
