Todd HenryHOST
As a matter of fact, it's procedural.

She enrolled in Le Cordon Bleu in Paris and they put her in the class for housewives.

Did
Jenny LinfordGUEST
you? Oh, wow.
Fiona McKennaHOST
There's a kind of quiet pride in knowing how to make something nourishing out of very little.
Fiona McKennaHOST
It feels actually, because I like doing that myself, because of my training as a Cordon Bleu chef, we trained to cook with very few ingredients and for things to be very traditional.
Fiona McKennaHOST
And it feels really good in yourself knowing that you can open the fridge and somebody else might open the fridge and think, what do I cook? There's nothing in here.
Fiona McKennaHOST
You can make a three course meal out of that.

I sometimes use the analogy of, like, the Cor- Cordon Bleu, like the French-

Sheila KutchlowGUEST
I had to put myself in a situation where it was do or die.
Sheila KutchlowGUEST
And it was either going to be New York or it was going to be L.A. And turns out it's L.A.
Michelle Kawamoto PerryHOST
And so you decided to move to L.A. and you also enrolled in Le Cordon Bleu at the same time.
Michelle Kawamoto PerryHOST
Yes.
Susanna HamiltonHOST
While all of my guests are based in the United States, for many, their training, travels, and sourcing take them abroad.
Susanna HamiltonHOST
From the streets of Paris and Le Cordon Bleu to markets in Hamburg, Milan, Amsterdam, and Africa, they found inspiration.
Susanna HamiltonHOST
Others find that inspiration closer to home, but their vision has led them to interpret materials and concepts in a new way, ways that are winning awards and selling out shows and shops.
Susanna HamiltonHOST
However, they all have one thing in common.
