Building this menu based on recipes from his book Sugar High is Chris Sayegh. Sayegh wrote his book featuring 50 recipes that integrate cannabis into baked goods, and the Nice and Sweet menu brings these recipes to life, without the cannabis, giving guests an exclusive experience to taste these dishes as they were meant to be. With his extensive experience in the international private fine-dining scene, Sayegh has curated the perfect menu for Nice and Sweet, ensuring a balance between savory and sweet flavors. Sayegh’s inspiration for the menu comes from his travels, and many of his dishes feature spices from around the world.
