Kathiana LeJeune, author of the new book "The Power of the Palate," is a gastrodiplomatic thought leader and culinary enthusiast who is enthralled by the ways food can serve as a means of unity across cultural differences. Listen in on this conversation about how powerful our palates are and how they can shift perspective, perception, and persuasions.
