Designer Picks
January 19, 2022
From a 1975 cookbook to a snack that will cost you virtually nothing and a culinary destination on her travel bucket list, Suzette Subance Ferrier, managing executive & studio creative director at TPG Architecture, shares her favorites surrounding a theme we all love—FOOD!
“I’m a passionate home chef and I’ve been a proponent of the slow food movement for years. My parents are from the islands where refrigeration was a luxury and all food was cooked and consumed the same day. So, fresh food has always been the hallmark of my diet. Food is my passion and it keeps me feeling mindful each day. I thought I would share some of my favorite food-related tips.” — Suzette
