We had the good fortune of connecting with Jarielle Jones and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jarielle, as a parent, what do you feel is the most meaningful thing you’ve done for them?
I am a parent of 2 little ones (4&5) I think the most impactful thing I’ve taught them thus far is the presence. Like it’s so important to spend time together. I am working on a mini cooking show with them because that’s something we all enjoy. We get to laugh and sing and cook good meals together and It’s something we look forward to. Time and presence are a lost cause. We have to value every moment because one day we’re going to look up and they won’t be so little anymore.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I feel like I’m set apart from others because I’m always prepared to take the risk! Just about anything creative food idea my clients come up with I can and will succeed at making it. It hasn’t always been easy. I’ve dropped things, not seasoned food to perfection and presentation hasn’t always been the best but one thing about it is I’ll never stop trying to be the best I can be. Advice to anyone never settle! And don’t stop! The world needs what you have

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
