Unplated: An interview with Rose McAdoo

Using art and dessert to transform our relationship to the earth

This conversation is part of the Unplated series, a collection of interviews with folks whose work intersects with food, but who work outside culinary spheres. My hope is that these conversations not only spark your curiosity, but help you think about how what you eat is connected to the world well beyond your plate.

Rose McAdoo is one of my culinary heroes. As I talked about earlier this month, discovery and play are powerful agents for promoting change, and Rose’s work is a great example of this in action.
This is probably the most in-depth interview I’ve done so far, and I love it because it encompasses the scope of Rose’s work, but also helps us consider the wide range of possibilities present when we approach serious work through the lens of play.
