#75: American Food Culture and International Flavors with Emmanuel Laroche

Born and raised in France, Emmanuel lives in New Jersey and travels around the country conducting tastings and giving lectures and presentations on food, flavors, ingredients, and consumer trends. He hosts the popular podcast “Flavors Unknown”, featuring a series of conversations with acclaimed and award-winning chefs, pastry chefs, and mixologists from around the United States. I talked to Emmanuel about the influence of his family and French culture on his career path and love for food. He explained how immigration not only shapes America’s food landscape but also how food serves as a bridge between a chef's birth country and their adopted home. We finished up this conversation with Emmanuel giving four different ways to incorporate international flavors into your home cooking - it's easier than you think! Enjoy!
