Episode 3: Interview with Emily Burson and Brandon Neumen from School Nutrition Plus

This week we switch gears and talk school food.

On the show this week is Emily Burson, founder and owner of School Nutrition Plus, a Southern California company that provides made from scratch school meals. Emily and Brendan Neumen, VP and Exec Chef, have teamed up to give schools access and education to their approach to school food.

They are launching a cookbook based on their tried and tested recipes in schools for home use. They want to engage and inspire parents and students alike to a fresh approach to school food.

The cookbook, A Chef Walks Into a Cafeteria… honors the flavor values of scratch cooking and will inspire families to cook together…with recipes actually served in the school cafeteria!
