A Northwest native, Jessica Atkins has been a self identified “Foodie” since childhood. Even at age 3, Jessica was quick to try anything new and interesting. By age 15, Jessica was a cooking in a Japanese kitchen in Seattle, WA; and at age 22 Jessica worked in a hospital kitchen as a dietary chef.
After a few years of travel and restaurant experience during the birth of the slow foods movement, Jessica fine-tuned her culinary skills as a staple to a member of Northwest kitchens producing exquisite, handcrafted foods beneath the tutelage of several top chefs.
Eager to use her passion and expertise in the local-foods business, Jessica has obtained the sought-after position of the cheese buyer for the local and family owned Elephants Delicatessen, and lends her hand to other businesses as a food consultant.
