Through stories, recipes, and lived experience, she will reveal how tradition can evolve without losing its essence, how time-honored ingredients can spark business innovation, and how generational wisdom can inform today’s food systems and markets. This session is a journey through flavor, memory, and imagination that honors the past while creating space for future-focused thinking, sustainable practices, and entrepreneurial growth for generations to come.
