Join Chefs Ryan Jennings and Ali Lawrence for a plant-powered crossover, as they dive into the art of fermentation, the rise of vegan cuisine, and the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship. Ali shares her journey from the Culinary Institute of America to founding Spirit & Abundance, where she crafts small-batch, cultured plant-based cheeses that are redefining dairy-free dining in Rochester, NY.
