Keep It Quirky podcast - You've Never Thought of Cheese Like This, with Ned Palmer
play

05/22/20 • 32 min

Ned Palmer is author of the book A Cheesemonger’s History of the British Isles, and he's the man behind The Cheese Tasting Company. Ned describes himself as a freelance cheesemonger; his passion for cheese is only equalled with his passion for jazz, philosophy, and theater--which are all fields he has also worked in! The convergence of these things led to a very interesting conversation about cheese, which looks at the foodstuff in ways you've probably never considered!


Ned is fascinating, and his passion for cheese and life are palpable. Enjoy the show!

Ravneet Gill is a London pastry chef who is behind the wildly popular pop-up Puff Bakery (with her partner Nicola Lamb), she started the technology company CounterTalk to be a community for people in the hospitality industry, and just released a cookbook called "The Pastry Chef's Guide."


She's worked as pastry chef in restaurants as impressive as Michelin-starred St. John Restaurant ... the head chef there, Fergus Henderson has said that she's not only incredibly talented, but is exceptional at nurturing a positive environment in any place she works.


Her bio says it well: "Ravneet Gill is a bonafide badass and her drive to cut through the crap and not take the accepted norms of the food world lying down is being applauded throughout the industry."


We talk about how she gets cheeky with her desserts, the pros and cons of going to culinary (cookery) school, what inspired her to start CounterTalk in the first place, how she got her book deal, and starting an inspired cookie revolution during quarantine.


Rav says, "follow a few rules and break a few rules,” -- in pastry, and in life. She truly knows how to KEEP IT QUIRKY!

Keep It Quirky podcast - Yoga & Creativity, with Mollie McClelland Morris
play

06/27/19 • 34 min

This episode is not all about yoga -- but it is with one of my favorite yoga teachers in London, Mollie McClelland Morris. We use yoga as a jumping off point to understand the creative life and more happily move through -- and create in -- this world.


We talk about being incremental about change, following threads of interest, "movement snacks" and the act of creation. I'm sure this conversation will give you a lot to think about and hopefully some tips to enjoy each day a bit more.


Thanks to triyoga for letting Mollie and I record this episode in your Shoreditch space!

I start this episode with some BIG NEWS! I'm writing a book!! (HarperCollins William Morrow will publish it in spring of 2021!) I give a quick breakdown of what it's about, and how it relates to today's guests....


First up, I talked with the founder of Natural Born Wine, Oli and Sam. They began their wine importing company three years ago, a career shift for both of them (they came from a writing background). I love their story of how they got into this path, which is unexpected and delightful, and we talk about what it means for a wine to be a natural wine, and the principles behind wines that are biodynamic.


I also talked with Tom Calver of Westcombe Dairy. Westcombe’s beloved Cheddar is made in Somerset, England (the area that’s home of Cheddar cheese!). He and I talk in their Cheddar maturation cave about what it means to make cheese with raw milk, the concept of farming with flavor, and why he's not a cheese elitist.


In this episode, I wove together the wine and cheese interviews because I wanted to make a connection between these two seemingly very different products and the paralleled issues they face of agricultural principles, taste, quality and the larger values at play.


I hope you enjoy the episode!

Keep It Quirky podcast - Define Passion for Yourself, with Mike Greenfield
play

04/26/19 • 44 min

Mike Greenfield is a passionate cook, teacher, on-camera host and filmmaker. He's one half of the Brothers Green Eats duo; what began as a little YouTube channel with his brother Josh, the show now has 1.3 million subscribers and has had major spin-offs, such as a series on MTV International.


A decade into this career, Mike continues to find inspiration in teaching people how to be self-sufficient in the kitchen, and loves deep-diving into things like sourdough bread baking and making kombucha. He has created courses -- video tutorial series -- which are separate from his YouTube content, to help people get on their feet with these sometimes tricky fermented items and other kitchen skills.


Mike and I talk about timeless food content, his journey of trying to stay authentic on YouTube and why he defines himself as not just a food host, but a filmmaker (rightly so).

Keep It Quirky podcast - On Being Career Amorphous, with Michael Harlan Turkell
play

04/10/19 • 34 min

Michael Harlan Turkell is the author of the travelogue cookbook "Acid Trip." He has also co-written and photographed many cookbooks, most recently "The Offal Good Cookbook" (with chef and coauthor Chris Cosentino). He is an adjunct professor at New York University, teaching food photography AND he puts on Japanese sumo-inspired events called SUMO STEW. As if that's not a full enough plate, he’s also a podcaster with Food Seen, Modernist Breadcrumbs (both on Heritage Radio Network) and Food 52’s Burnt Toast.

He says he’s not a renaissance man, though I would beg to differ. On top of all these things -- and most importantly -- Michael is a generous soul, a born teacher... inclusive with things he has learned.

In this conversation, we talk about everything from profound taste memories to his life theory of exploration and constantly being a student. He tells us what some of the basics of food photography that he teaches in his course and why he thinks fermentation is be accessible to all.

We recorded this in the Heritage Radio Network space in Bushwick Brooklyn, behind Roberta’s pizzeria, so we recorded this with a happily full belly :) Thanks to HRN!

Keep It Quirky podcast - On Creating Connection with Graham Garvie
play

04/04/18 • 35 min

"We have a lot more in common than we think we do." This is one of my favorite quotes from this episode, and it gets at the heart of why I create this podcast and also why Graham began Bring Your Own Story (BYOS), a supper club that puts the emphasis on human connection around the table rather than the food on the table. Highlights of this episode include Graham describing how he forms community, both in his business and in his personal life, how he gets out of his own head when he hits a creative block and the importance of staying curious. We talk about the act of eating together and its role in facilitating connection. I really enjoyed this conversation with Graham, and I hope you do, too! I mention this in the preamble -- but the audio quality will improve for every episode after this one. Hang in there with me and I'm going through the fairly steep learning curve of audio v. video! :) Find out more about BYOS: www.bringyourownstory.com/

Patricia Niven is a photographer who specializes in food, the people who grow it, cook it, and eat it -- and the interconnectedness therein. In this episode, we talk about how to find your creative "thing" (following your interests each step of the way), and also pushing yourself to continue reaching for new things (she does a 90-day checkin with herself, introspecting on what she's accomplished and what new pursuits she will start action on in the following 90 days).


She arrived in London on a one-way ticket from Australia 21 years ago. In her early years in London, alongside being a photographic assistant, she photographed within the music scene. Highlights included shooting portraits of musicians such as Jill Scott, Amy Winehouse & Cyprus Hill, documenting club nights in Brixton, and traveling to post-genocide Rwanda to document survivors, musicians, politicians & entrepreneurs.


She’s won many awards, from places like the Association of Photographers, the Pink Lady Food Photography Awards, and the Sunday Times Food Book of the Year award for her work with the Honey & Co cookbook, which is an all-time favorite. She’s also worked on cookbooks by Jack Monroe, including the photography for 3 of Jack’s book covers (and the photography for one full book) and the #CookforSyria book, which was a global project organised by Clerkenwell Boy.


Aside from her work in publishing and with restaurants, she also does portrait work and brand work...which all can, of course, be wrapped up into the topic of food! Her art has been exhibited everywhere from V&A Museum to the National Portrait Gallery.


“Do a thing you love and believe in.” - Patricia Niven


There's another special guest in this episode! At the top of the episode, I introduce you all to Mark Dyck, the host of the podcast "Rise Up," which is a podcast for bakers. I was so stoked when Mark agreed to hop on a call with me to share his passion for baking and to talk about his show. You can check that out here: https://riseuppod.com/
