Imagine elevating your culinary skills by learning from the very best—Chef Susanne Grier shares her wisdom, passion, and resiliences in this heartening episode. Discover the secrets behind working with farm-fresh ingredients as we spotlight dishes like marinated and smoked goat meat from Happy Tails Farm. Hear about the intricate flavors of fondant potatoes and miso-rubbed pistachio-dusted cauliflower, and the challenge of crafting a sumptuous whipped goat cheese with lemon marmalade. This is not just a cooking lesson; it’s a journey through the art of culinary excellence.
Chef Susanne Grier’s story is one of overcoming societal barriers and finding her true calling. From facing gender biases to transitioning from a fine arts degree to becoming a corporate executive chef, Susanne’s journey is as inspiring as it is educational. She discusses the balance between her career and personal life, especially her role as a mother to an autistic daughter, and how she found fulfillment in culinary education. Her heartfelt stories from Center Grove and her commitment to nurturing young chefs offer invaluable insights into the importance of mentorship and compassion in the kitchen.
The latter part of our conversation shifts focus to the connection between educators and students, the importance of inclusivity, and the challenges of culinary program funding. Chef Susanne
