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.

Renee Guilbault on (Uncle) Harry Hamlin, her responsibility as a chef, and ditching the microwave
Fascinating and inspiring interview with Renee Guilbault! Renee is a chef, author, CEO of "The Open Food Company" and co-host of cooking show, "In the Kitchen with Harry Hamiln." From an early age, Renee says she understood the importance of food and that it wasn't just something to put in our guts. At 17, she dropped out of high school and started working in the food industry. She landed a fairly significant job - one she didn't think she was quite ready for (thank goodness for positive mentors) before she decided culinary school in France was the next move for her. She was 100% positive a job in a fine dining restaurant was going to be the ultimate for her, but turns out, she couldn't leave fast enough. Renee talks about the opportunities that came her way, the huge responsibility she carries as a chef to make sure she's putting the right food message out in the world, and her latest adventure with Uncle Harry Hamlin - in the kitchen cooking together (episodes streaming on AMC+). Renee is on a mission to see "a world well-fed" and we couldn't be happier to help spread the word.
