A shout-out to my pal Janet for introducing me to the wonder that is Dominique Crenn – the first female chef in the United States to earn three Michelin stars, and now our Dazzler of the Day. An immigrant from France, Crenn carved out a path of culinary excellence while pushing the boundaries and possibilities of a sustainable way of cooking and eating. She’s written two books appeared in multiple televisions shows, and, perhaps more impressively than anything else, has battled breast cancer while maintaining a rigorous work schedule. A personal and professional marvel, Crenn is precisely the sort of inspiration the world needs right now.
