The Aromatic Gourmet
with Jeffrey Paul
2024 – ongoing
Flowers, food, and fragrance delight the senses and often provide opportunities for meaningful expression. When combined, they can incite creativity in new, unexpected ways. The Aromatic Gourmet is a thoughtful new class series presented by chef and botanical perfumer Jeffrey Paul that explores and teaches cross-modal sensorial practices through six in-person, hands-on sessions.
The series presents a multi-sensorial journey into the world of gastronomy. In each class, participants will learn about a new olfacto-gustatory experience that incorporates aromatic flowers, edible flowers, hydrosols and botanical extracts, maceration, culture, history, and – of course – food preparation.
Through this series, participants will gain knowledge and new creative insights into aroma, flavor, and craft.
