004 – Jenny Peterson, Paradox Pastry

Welcome to Episode 4! Jenny Peterson is the lovely and vivacious owner of Paradox Pastry, just across the railroad tracks over from The Downtown Mall in Charlottesville, VA. Here's you'll find amazing hand pies, cookies, tarts, croissants, pies, almond pavé (a personal favorite), and six-layer cakes the size of your head! Jenny got her start at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris then as a personal trainer here in Charlottesville, where she tempted her clients with cake after their workout, hence the paradox. We had an amazing time laughing about beer and butter and The Guess Who, and after hearing about her time living in France, I want to move there. Today. In a city where "Buying Local" is encouraged, and not buying local sacrilege how do you operate a French pastry shop using only the best ingredients? When it comes to ingredients (and restaurants), is local always best? Listen to find out!
