Chef Danielle, can you tell us a bit about your personal journey in this field? GUEST: Absolutely, I've always been passionate about cooking and the environment, so I decided to combine these interests by studying sustainable gastronomy.

These trends are shaping the future of the culinary world and are essential skills for any aspiring green gastronomist. HOST: Very interesting. Now, what would you say are some of the challenges faced in this field or when teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is convincing skeptics that sustainable gastronomy can be just as satisfying and flavorful as traditional cooking methods. Another is staying up-to-date with the latest eco-friendly technologies and practices in the ever-evolving food industry. HOST: Those are valid challenges. Lastly, where do you see the future of sustainable gastronomy heading?
