So many stories and simply not enough time. Trish chats with Chef, Author, Consultant, and teacher Norman Van Aken about his culinary journey. Dubbed "Florida's Culinary Icon" by the Jacques Pépin Foundation, Trish learns how Norman went from a short order cook in a diner to creating an American regional cuisine. Norman talks about watching his mother and grandmother cook, but never really thinking he'd ever be a chef. He hitchhiked to Key West at 19, a place that would steal his heart as he found himself going back there a few times in his life. In Key West, he learned not only to cook, but he was introduced to so many flavors, cultures, perspectives, and he calls it a pivotal time for him. He's written several books, won countless awards, and has helped grow non-profit "Get Cooking," which helps food insecure families in Florida.
This interview is full of stories - Norman's adventures, the people he's met, and at the heart - his passion for cooking.

Christopher Kimball on "Cook America" initiative, apple pies, and cooking alone (it's the best!)
Christopher Kimball of Christopher Kimball's Milk Street back on the podcast to talk about what he's calling his new initiative, "Cook America." Chris is essentially taking the idea behind why he started Milk Street and wanting to do more to encourage people to get in their kitchens and cook. Chris and Trish catch up since the last time they chatted (2020!), and still agree they don't ever want help cooking in the kitchen. Have a drink and stay out of the way. Please. Chris also explains why baking apple pies bring him immense joy and why he says he'll never be able to bake the "perfect apple pie."
