LOS ANGELES - s4story -- Chef Jade's Journey is a new animated series aimed at teaching kids about self discovery, travel and cooking. The show is hosted by Chef Jade, a Virtual Influencer that launched in 2020 on various social media platforms. She's described as a multi-racial female in her early twenties, with wild curly hair and a personality that can be compared to a mix of Michelin star chef Dominique Crenn and the late Anthony Bourdain. Jade is accompanied on her travels by her lovable sidekick, Zelda, a Boston Terrier whom she found on the streets of Berlin, Germany during her travels.

In the first season of Chef Jade's Journey, viewers will be taken to 12 countries where she has biologic roots, including Italy, India, United Kingdom, Mexico, Brazil, Jamaica, Japan, China, France, Greece and Germany. Jade's adopted, a fact her parents shared with her at an early age. She has always had questions about her make-up and promised herself that she would go on a journey of discovery after she graduated from culinary school. The first part of our world tour involves tracing her lineage all the way back to her great grandparents. Viewers will get a chance to learn about each place she's traveling to and why the food is so unique to it. She'll be cooking everything from traditional Mexican Tacos to a traditional Banoffee Pie. All recipes of course will be in a meatless format, since Jade herself is Vegan and will hosted on her website https://www.cookingwithjade.com/
