Seasonal Chef: A culinary pioneer in South Dakota's Black Hills

MJ Adams sometimes misses New York City, where she was trained as a chef and worked for years before moving far away to the Black Hills of South Dakota.

Read the profile of MJ Adams, written by food writer, blogger, patio gardener, and now Seasonal Chef contributor Victoria Slind-Flor.
