Jonathan Bardzik is a storyteller, cook and author. Based in Washington, DC Jonathan is inspired by farm and garden-fresh seasonal ingredients and the people – families, farmers and businesses – that it brings together. His experiences range from live cooking demonstrations and storytelling workshops to the virtual cook alongs and custom conference videos he has developed over the past year. Jonathan draws on his experience growing up in a family garden center business, his undergraduate degree in theatre, an MBA and 10 years as marketing director for a national trade association to draw the connection between food and our lives and work. He believes those broad influences make food and life richer and is excited about the collaborative creative opportunities The Experience Alchemists will bring to life. Jonathan is the author of three cookbooks and his new Amazon Prime Video series, Jonathan’s Kitchen: – launches in early 2021.
