David Ogonowski takes decadence beyond limits for his appreciative fans at the Seasons restaurant in the Regal Bostonian Hotel.

He is known for building elegant desserts from complementary components, combining hot and cold, crisp and creamy.

Originally a student of mathematics, David's focus changed once he entered the pastry kitchen.

After a few years of training in San Francisco, David moved to Boston where he landed the position of pastry chef at the nationally acclaimed restaurant Olives.

Honored for his fantastic edible finales, David earned the prestigious "Best Desserts" title in the "Best of Boston" awards.

Now after more than ten years in the business, it looks like giving up equations for recipes probably wasn't such a bad idea.

In the show "Baking with Julia," David Ogonowski creates a Triple Chocolate Truffle Treat with a chocolate tart shell, custard filling, and chopped biscotti topping.
