Creative Mornings ATL | SPICY: Jake Rothschild

About the speaker

Jake Rothschild has been following in the footsteps of his childhood idol Willy Wonka since he created the first instant all natural hot chocolate mix in 1986 while a junior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is the founder of Jake’s Ice Creams and The Cooking Schools, both based in Atlanta, GA. A native of North Carolina, Jake has made Historic College Park his home for the past 18 years. There he lives on an urban farm compound he lovingly calls Sweet Selma Farms (named for his great Aunt Selma who was a well-known farmer in her own right in North Carolina). Figs, peaches, grapes, blueberries, and herbs are his specialty.

Committed to helping others learn food from growing, to cooking, to selling, Jake also directs Our Village Kitchens, a division of Hunger & Hope, a nonprofit incubator designed to help small business start-ups launch their food concepts.

Additional details

Our theme for April is SPICY. It was chosen by our Tucson chapter and illustrated by Sophie McTear.

Oh yeah, that’s hot!

When you’re cooking, spices add flavor, depth, and complexity to an otherwise plain culinary dish. Spicy foods interact with receptors in our mouth and can trigger sensations of heat and even pain. Can you handle it? Being open to trying new and bold tastes is a good lesson for bringing daring and originality into all of our creative endeavors. As they say, “variety is the spice of life.”

Spicy can also be exciting and suggestive. A spicy comment or joke is provocative or controversial. Such “spicy takes” often challenge conventional beliefs and ignite strong, passionate reactions from people.

So, how can you make your work and approach to life spicier? Let’s bring the heat! Join us for a morning of diving into the theme SPICY with innovator, chef, and farmer Jake Rothschild.
