What is nutrition? We all intuitively know that our health and well-being is intimately connected to what we eat, but how much do we truly understand about how and why food affects us? Consumers and the food industry alike are eager for simple, ‘silver bullet’ solutions, but reality is more complicated. With so much competing, often conflicting information out there, it can be challenging to understand how to make the right food choices. Chef Francoise Briet brings three unique perspectives to the intersection of food and health: her technical background as a research scientist in metabolic nutrition, her culinary expertise as Chef at the French Consulate, and her own personal journey of healing through diet.

Francoise Briet is the Chef of the General Consulate of France in Toronto, and the owner of Malty and Hoppy Delicacy, a company that uses Ontario craft beer in small-batch artisan jellies, jams and other delicacies. Before that, Francoise was a clinical research scientist in the field of metabolic nutrition. Over the past two years, Francoise personally experienced the impact of trauma and illness, so she turned to her understanding of metabolic nutrition to help support her recovery. This experience had a transformative impact on her wellbeing, and has helped her develop a more health-conscious approach to food.
