Hello and welcome! I’m Jessica Gavin, a Certified Food Scientist and Certified Culinary Scientist, cookbook author, and teacher at heart. On this channel, you will find homemade recipes infused with food science knowledge and quick recipe tutorials with trusted tips and techniques learned in culinary school. jessicagavin.com
During my studies, I learned about food technology and how food is delivered from “farm to fork”, putting the focus on providing safe and wholesome food. After college, I pursued a career in nutrition product development, creating healthy food, beverages, and children’s products for people around the world.
And now, I enjoy developing recipes in my home test kitchen and love nothing more than experimenting and unraveling the science behind better, healthier cooking and sharing that with you.
