Jaz – The Brite Side

An ode to food, and all the ways it has nourished me.

The phenomenon of ‘food’, the art of cuisine, and how we’ve transformed a practice for survival into everything that it is, to me, is one of the defining cornerstones of humanity. I am fascinated by the art and science behind it, and how the development of different flavors, and techniques, even the incorporation of technology,Continue reading “An ode to food, and all the ways it has nourished me.”
