Croissant Sol celebrates the completion of an impactful residency by our CEO and Lead Culinary Consultant, Tamieka Hardy, who served as Chef-in-Residence for the Threads of Tradition Ancestral Textile Arts Retreat, hosted by Nebedaye Farms in Mt Croghan, SC. 🌱🧵
As Chef-in-Residence, Tamieka brought Croissant Sol’s culinary science and food development expertise to the farm, engaging in recipe development with fresh agricultural products grown and foraged directly from the land. The result was a uniquely regional menu designed to nourish retreat participants while creating a sense of family around the table.
But the experience was about much more than the food.
The retreat created space to explore the connections between land, food, craft, memory, and lineage. While participants engaged in weaving, storytelling, and thoughtful conversation, the culinary arts offered another pathway toward ancestral connection and veneration.
From field to kitchen, the meals became an opportunity to honor ingredients, traditions, and the knowledge carried through generations. Each dish was created with the intention of feeling familiar and deeply rooted, as though it could have been passed down through a family.
Croissant Sol is proud to celebrate Tamieka for bringing her unique perspective as a food scientist, research chef, and culinary consultant into a space where food became both nourishment and a vessel for cultural memory.
Congratulations, Chef Tamieka, on completing this beautiful residency and continuing to demonstrate what it means to create “culinary science with a touch of sol”!
