Making Ginger Molasses Cookies With Lara Adekoya of Fleurs Et Sel Bakery

Today’s guest is Lara Adekoya, the founder and baker behind Fleurs et Sel bakery in Los Angeles. Lara started her cookie business as a pop-up during the pandemic and she opened her first brick and mortar earlier this year. She’s become quite known in L.A. for her cookies and the name of her company is inspired by her time living in France and her two favorite things: flowers and salt.

Lara joins host Jessie Sheehan to talk about her transition from working in sales to making cookies, her love for France, and her early dream to be a dentist and go to dental school. Plus, the duo walk through Lara’s recipe for Ginger Molasses Cookies.
