In 1982, Dolester Miles heard about a young chef named Frank Stitt who was opening a restaurant in Birmingham’s Southside neighborhood, and she wanted to be a part of it. She was hired as garde manger, but her passion was baking. Six years later, when Bottega opened, she asked if she could make desserts for the new restaurant. Chef Stitt said yes. Today, Miles is the executive pastry chef of Highlands Bar & Grill, Bottega and Chez Fonfon.
Her love of baking began as a teenager in nearby Bessemer, AL. She was the happiest when in the kitchen with her mother and aunt, and welcomed every opportunity to learn. Dol, as she was known then and now, especially enjoyed making brown sugar poundcakes, German chocolate cakes and pecan pies for family reunions, birthdays and holidays.
