Many people don’t know that my grandmother is Puerto Rican and in her kitchen was where I fell in love with cooking for the first time. Now 30 years later, here I am making Sanconcho at my old school for Worlds of Flavor. 🙏🏾

@ksMetalArtist @robinmcaldwell @CIACulinary @CIAatCopia @ksMetalArtist also @africooks has been leading the charge to develop curriculum for years that is finally debuting this year as a concentration @CIACulinary so the conference is merely a snippet of many many peoples passionate entrenched and life long commitment to our culture.

Michael also mentioned Zingerman's Press. Aside from all the must have books I immediately ordered he particularly suggested the Visioning pamphlet if you're at the intention setting phase of your business. Mine just came and it's so good!!

In week one we talked about vision and culture. During the conversation Michal Shemtov from @butcherandbee called out the brilliant Ari Weinzweig of @zingermans and his @ZingTrain as an amazing management resource training.

[Thérèse Nelson @blackculinary]

Please take some time to to check out this fantastic chat I had with @ragamickie a few years back for the @Afropunk x @BlackFoodFolks conversations I hosted during lockdown to get a taste of the brilliance and insight she's going to bring to this new role.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Urban agriculture is a growing industry in our city that has the potential to expand the supply of healthy and locally grown food, create jobs, and make our city more resilient.

Qiana Mickie brings a wealth of experience and knowledge as our new director of @NYCUrbanAg.

@robinmcaldwell @CynthiaGreenlee CO-OPS!!! Or food halls.

[Thérèse Nelson @blackculinary]

@DevitaDavison It's all UK cooking programming sis. Top Chef the Professionals trumps Top Chef any day of the week. Great British Menu? We don't even have the attention span to make that possible.

[Thérèse Nelson @blackculinary]

@Chefelrod @weardiop So glad everything got to you safely and that you love it!!
