About this episode

Today we have a guest on from the other side of the world - a FTM who is a wizard in the world of food and nutrition. Tessa Smith began cooking and baking early in childhood - something that has become a passion ever since. She champions whole foods, healthy ingredients, and easy to replicate recipes to make your cooking experience a joyful and nutritious one. At the time of recording, she’s 38 weeks pregnant with a little girl and we are so happy she is joining us today.
