Jenny Breen is a Twin Cities champion of food. From the moment we started talking about food systems, cookbooks, the imposter syndrome, and social media, I was hooked. Jenny really understands food systems and is passionate about eating local, sustainable food and regenerative agriculture.
In 2012, Jenny published the cookbook, “Cooking Up The Good Life” because she wanted to contribute healthy, nourishing recipes that could be served at the family table. Try your hand at the Peanut or Sesame Sauce recipe below and then see an example of a recipe that uses the sauce with her Thai Noodle Bowls from her Transforming The Table Blog.
Jenny has many additional recipes here and can be hired for healthy eating consulting, as an educator on nutrition, or as a caterer in your home. Connect with Jenny on Instagram @jennybroccoli 51 or at her website to learn more about her teaching and her services.
