This week, we're exploring a culinary tradition where every dish is "made with so much love."

I am honored to welcome Pastry Chef Ashley Wong, the brilliant creator behind Ashley Wong Sweets, for a conversation about the heart and soul of Southern hospitality.

Join us as Chef Ashley shares her personal and professional journey, from the family recipes passed down through generations to her experience competing on the Food Network.

We discuss why nostalgia is such a powerful ingredient, how cooking techniques carry our history, and why open-mindedness is essential for any true food lover.

This is a story about community, craftsmanship, and the sweet legacy that is baked into every one of her creations.
