“The Worlds of Flavors conference gave me some great insights into how contemporary American food is changing, and what a good thing that will be for all of us,” Jenkins notes. “The best news to come from the conference is that vivid, exciting food is on the horizon. It looks and smells great, it tastes superb, and it can even be good for you. As American food professionals explore traditional “foodways” from many cultures, we expect to join the fine cooks of other cultures at a common table,” she adds. In her opinion, “Everyone will eat better as a result.”
