CYOP #18 - The Power of Connecting Around the Table with Chef Sylvanna Mislang of The Roaming Spoon
Chef Sylvanna Mislang of The Roaming Spoon
Meet Chef Sylvanna Mislang, everyone! She is the mastermind behind the incredibly popular vegan pop-up dining experience, The Roaming Spoon. She's been a professional chef for years, works at the Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op (where she's supplied with endless amounts of inspiration for new dishes) and now creates dozens of sold-out pop-up events throughout the city.
She joined me earlier this month at ThinkHouse where we discussed everything: from why she stopped working in restaurants and what her mentors taught her over the years to her favorite show-stopping dishes and how she's bringing vegan food to the non-vegan masses. Even if you don't live in Sacramento and aren't into vegan food, I think you'll get a lot out of this episode. Enjoy!
