Signature Kitchen Suite launches every new product innovation with a True to Food film, a documentary-style webisode designed to bring life and context to their True to Food philosophy. In each episode, we follow Mark Bittman, our host and best-selling food writer, as he meets authentic food experts around the country who share their knowledge on how to grow, make, prepare and preserve food in the best possible ways. And most importantly, we learn how to use Signature Kitchen Suite’s appliances to get the best out of everything you cook.
In this episode, Mark travels to New Orleans to meet Kaitlen Gurin, a CIA-trained French pastry chef who runs a charming cottage industry bakery out of her home—through her kitchen window, to be more specific. The philosophy of her work is rooted in understanding the cultural diversity of New Orleans from a native, black female's perspective. Together, they talk about how French pastries may look sweet and delicate but making them is a lot of work—the craft requires a determined spirit and the heart of an artist. These little masterpieces are only as good as what goes in them, so fresh ingredients and a refrigerator that’s up to the task of keeping them that way is paramount.
