Welcome back to Using My Degree! This week's special guest is Chef Jesse Koones of Junoon in Manhattan. He's one of my best friends, a fellow CIA graduate, and what I would call a fruit expert - I mean, he's friends with me after all. There are only two gay jokes in this episode if you can believe that.

Please excuse any dog or fire truck noises - my dogs do not like guests and my neighborhood is an active battleground most days.

Thank you for listening, see ya next week with Chocolate Part 1!

Vanilla is often overlooked as an ingredient, relegated as "plain". This episode is about ways to use vanilla, the politics and sexualization of vanilla, as well as what imitation vanilla is really made of.

This week's co-host is Sosa!
