In the latest Hudson Valley Word of Mouth segment, Julia Joern visits with Chrissy Traore and Ben Salif Traore, owners of See and Be Kitchen, located on Route 145, just north of downtown Cairo and heading toward East Durham. Chrissy hails from Florida, and is of Italian ancestry (with family in Long Island). Ben is originally from Burkina Faso, a West African country. Together they have married their different traditions and cultures — and love of baking — to put down roots, make a home, and establish a business here in Greene County. Stop by their place for delicious croissants, pizza, and other rustic offerings created both from inside their shipping-container bakery and outside in a giant wood-fired oven. Or find signature items, like their onion focaccia and arborio bread, at specialty shops and farmer's markets throughout the county and beyond.
