78. Mixing Art with Science | A deep dive into plant based cheese with Karen McAthy - CEO & Co Founder of Lumi Foods (Blue Heron Creamery)
It was a pleasure and an honor chatting with Karen on this episode. Karen is a globally recognized leader in the field of plant-based cheesemaking, with extensive experience as a chef in addition to a concrete academic background in political science and biology.
Her level of knowledge, real world experience and willingness to share on this episode puts it right up there as one of the best conversations to date for us all to learn from.
As well as covering the Blue Heron & Lumi Foods startup stories, we cover Karen's immensely intimate knowledge of plant based cheese making, where it fits into our history books, the balance of art & science, old traditions & new technologies, and what the future looks like in this space.
