More Insight From My Fell Into Food Podcast

Chef Jeff is so sweet. He is giving me yet another shoutout for some of my insights, that he recognized and I didn’t see myself. This was at the 24:00 minute section, where I was talking about how my blog was born. https://ajeanneinthekitchen.com/2025/10/06/fell-into-food-the-podcast/ Is he giving me more credit than I deserve? I’ll let you decide. 🙂

Chef Jeff’s kind words:

Some of the best ideas don’t start with a strategy.
They start with a moment.

Someone throws something away.
You say, “Wait—don’t toss that.”
And suddenly, you’re thinking differently about food, waste, and creativity.

That’s how Jeanne in the Kitchen started — not with a brand plan or a business model, but with a genuine instinct to use what we already have.

It’s a lesson we forget sometimes in this industry:
You don’t always need new ingredients, new tech, or new ideas.
You just need to look at what’s right in front of you… differently.

Whether it’s product development, menu design, or just feeding your family — creativity doesn’t come from having more.
It comes from reimagining what’s already there.

Thank you once again Chef Jeff for this fun and fabulous opportunity. 🙂
