Making the Most Out of a Tough Situation

The holidays bring out the chef in many of us. For Vallery Lomas, stress-baking through her final year of law school laid the foundation for a career as a chef, and a victory in the Great American Baking Show. This week, she joins host Jason Johnson this week to talk about her unlikely path to celebrity chef status, and her new book Life is What You Bake It. 

Guest: Vallery Lomas, cookbook author, recipe developer, and creator at @foodieinnewyork on Instagram
