Listen "How Chef Kieron Hales turns wedding meals into memories at Cornman Farms"
Episode Synopsis
British-born and Michelin-starred chef Kieron Hales has cooked for presidents and royalty across 27 countries. He's Executive Chef at Zingerman's Cornman Farms in Dexter, Michigan, a farmhouse and event space with a restored red barn on the property. He works with couples to create custom menus—crafting farm-to-table meals or recreating family favorites—and provides them with the recipes to keep. Today he talks with me about his favorite food memory, his mother's crepe cannelloni. It’s a labor-intensive lasagna-like creation of crepes stuffed with bolognese and baked in bechamel sauce. Plus what he takes away from cooking at the highest levels of the culinary world, and what it means to create meals that become memories. We’d love for you to fill out this listener survey.
