SUMMARY:Chef's Palate | Global Groceries: The World of Food
DESCRIPTION:Explore the origins of popular ingredients during this deep dive into the relationship between groceries and geography. Learn about the sometimes surprising journey your food takes before it arrives on your plate\, why shopping seasonally can help create delicious dishes\, and more. \n  \nChef’s Palate\, hosted by Grace Farms Founding Pastry Chef and educator Leah Jones\, is a series of educational conversations designed to inspire new perspectives on everyday ingredients\, groceries\, and meals.

She leads recipe research and development for all baking and pastry programs. She feels strongly about creating a more sustainable and equitable food system\, both locally and globally\, and upholds a zero-food waste approach when it comes to baking. She holds a B.S. in Baking & Pastry Arts and Food Service Management from Johnson & Wales University. \nPhoto by Marisol Benitez on Unsplash
