About our presenters

Clint Jensen is co-owner of Harvest Moon Mills. Clint’s family has been farming the Canadian prairies since 1913 in Climax, Sask., growing a variety of high-quality grains and legumes including wheat, durum, barley, peas, mustard and lentils. Harvest Moon Mills uses the traditional process of stone milling.

Teisha Huff is a chef whose culinary beginnings started with nothing but salt, water and flour. From a young age, she was instilled with a belief that food is as much a pleasure to make as it is to serve. This simple idea that took shape while baking bread with her Auntie at home has carried her through a storied career in the prairies as a culinary instructor, professional baker, and now pastry chef at Fortuna’s Row in Calgary.

Teisha draws from her background as a graduate from the Baking and Pastry Arts Program at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology and 10 years of experience working in both Saskatchewan and Alberta. From doughnuts and ice cream to more expressive creations (have you heard of “Ugly Cornbread”?), her pastries and desserts reflect her two personalities as a chef and a baker. Where she is prone to innovate and challenge herself with new ingredients and techniques, her creations are no less comforting than the sound of crackling bread fresh out of the oven.
