On this episode of Family Meal, I sat down with Emily Fedner of @foodloversdiary and we dished about way more than food. Of course we covered her Babushka's famous vareniki and her early days where her love of food was formed, but as usual we dove much deeper. Emily opened up about her struggle to find a career in food that was not only meaningful, but fulfilling, how her her days as a line cook forever changed her, and how it's not been as easy of a road as instagram may show. She's an open book and touches on why mental health needs to be addressed more in the industry, and why we need to be giving back to the undocumented workers of the US. She even developed an e-cookbook that donates a portion of its proceeds to the NY based Undocu Workers Fund. Listen along if you need some uplift, are thinking of changing careers, and want to fuel your appetite!
