EP. 20: Miyoko Schinner

This weeks game changing guest is Miyoko Schinner, yes THE Miyoko, founder of Miyoko’s, the plant based cheese company revolutionizing dairy. 

Growing up as a vegetarian, Miyoko’s passion for fine food ignited during the 1980’s when rich and flavorful French cuisine and gourmet cheeses were a huge trend in her home city of Tokyo.

As a self confessed cheese-a-holic, she found herself conflicted by her culinary tastes and her compassion for animals. Like many vegetarians, she struggled to give up these dairy rich foods.

In true Miyoko style, she went vegan and boldly set out to create plant-based cheese and cuisine as artistic and decadent as the finest French foods she fell in love with.

In this conversation we cover:

- Miyoko’s life in Japan as a child.

- The sweet potato cart story.

- Moving to America with her family.

- The way America changed the way they ate.

- Going back to Japan, after becoming a cheese addict.

- The challenges of entrepreneurship.

- Rancho Relaxo, Miyoko’s farm sanctuary.

- Starting Miyoko’s Creamery.

- What’s in store for the future of the company.

+ More!

I hope you really enjoy this episode.
