"Working with OSFD has deepened my understanding of Food Design, providing different points of view, information and tools, but more than that, has connected me to so many relevant players in this broad international community. I've read, experimented and exchanged with Francesca and Jashan, who never offer less than awesome insights and truly care for those working with them."
