Gelée

Chef and artist Zoe Messinger created Gelée to inspire play, connection, and joy around the table. Gelée blends the wisdom of gelatin’s ancient origins with modern molecular science to reimagine a timeless classic—transforming it into luminous delights that are gut-healing, collagen-rich, and endlessly versatile.

Born from a time of personal healing, Zoe combines her culinary artistry, hospitality background, and playful creativity to craft jiggly creations that are as nourishing as they are beautiful. From morning parfaits and spritz-ready jelly marbles to cheese plate accents and show-stopping art pieces, Gelée challenges convention and brings new life to gelatin.
