Instructor: Joshua Heston Joshua Heston grew up in the southeastern hills of Ohio, where he was exposed to multigenerational family recipes. But it was studying classical music that became his calling. However, the universe had other plans. After experiencing major health issues, he was left with no ability to eat, ingest fluids, or consume anything that needed to be swallowed and digested. This tragic twist of fate brought his music career to an end. Joshua eventually realized he needed to find a new purpose in society and learn to navigate life within these new parameters. He went back to his roots and those multigenerational recipes, particularly those that dealt with breads, pastries, pies, and curing/smoking all kinds of protein. His passion for self-education and constant growth have caught the attention of the surrounding community. Today, Joshua is well-known for his signature cinnamon rolls.
