Conversation 20: The Story, Journey and Passion of Chef Andrew Kintigh

“It’s all science. Whether it’s baking or traditional cooking. It’s the same when you’re plating a normal entree or a salad, there’s all those components that the chef or even the cook (and you don’t have to be a chef to cook great food). There’s so many chefs that aren’t classically trained that are better than chefs that haven’t gone to school. If you’re going to go to school, you definitely need the real life experience of working on a kitchen line and “being in the weeds” - Chef Andrew Kintigh

My conversation today is with Chef Andrew Kintigh

As registered dietitians, we love food and know exactly how food functions in our bodies and many of us incorporate cooking and recipes into our profession. Enter, Chef Andrew. As a registered dietitian, I value the expertise the professionals who work with food daily, which is knowing the science behind cooking. Chef Andrew is someone I have gotten to know over the past couple years and I value him and his education because he knows more about cooking than I do. Chef Andrew shares his journey and a few tips and tricks for the dietitian who loves to cook.

Conversation 19: The Story, Journey and Passion of Registered Dietitian, Anita Turczynski RD, LD

“I was asked to give nutrition talk at my daughter's pre-school (at the time) and I researched fun activities for kids nutrition education. That lead me to providing a presentation for Child and Adult Nutrition Education Programs on teaching nutrition education. I have realized that child nutrition is a passion of mine. It’s not work if you love it. There is always something new to learn.” - Anita Turczynski, RD, LD

My conversation today is with Anita Turczynski, RD, LD

Anita is a one of those people you meet who just radiates positivity both personally and professionally. It was interesting to know she initially majored in accounting in college. While she was navigating her future career plans and after shadowing a registered dietitian, she truly discovered her passion for nutrition. This lead her to an interest in food service nutrition and also a love for nutrition education with children in a public school system. She enjoys the variety of working in school nutrition and also seeing how nutrition education in schools really impacts nutrition at home.

Please enjoy my conversation with Anita.

Conversation 21: The Story, Journey and Passion of Lucille Beseler, MS, RDN, LDN, CDE

“As a young dietitian you don’t appreciate all the people you meet along the way. I would say to our young dietitians, stop and savor the moment and appreciate the people that you come in contact with along the way. They may see things in you that you do not see in yourself.” - Lucille Beseler, MS, RDN, LDN, CDE

My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Lucille Beseler who graciously took time out of her busy schedule to meet with me on a Sunday afternoon. She is a private practice registered dietitian, author and the owner of Family Nutrition Center of South Florida. She has a passion for cooking and painting beautiful flowers. In her spare time, she currently is the President of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and has spent the last year inspiring other registered dietitians for the next century of our amazing profession and and our national organization. During our candid and down to earth conversation, she shares great advice for all dietitians on practicing, advocacy, volunteering, business and just being a great registered dietitian.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with Lucille as much as I did.
