I’m joined by three guests today who each bring a great perspective on the culinary industry.

My guest today is Tania Tomaszewska, a banking lawyer with a great story. In recent years, Tania has traded legal practice for her own wine consultancy.

For today’s show, I reached out to chefs around the world to try to build community and a sense of “in it together” for all of us.

I’m sharing a few resources I’ve noticed lately.

A great talk with the duo behind a wonderful roaming coffee business called Scavenger Coffee.

Since Cheftimony is a podcast about food and the stories it allows us to share with each other, it makes sense that I interview chefs. But… what about those lawyers?

Paul has created a business out of his love for fermentation, and Coastal Cultures currently focuses on water kefir (a delicious fermented beverage) and some amazing sauerkrauts.

Renovation

Today, you’ll hear Joe’s thoughts on what it was like to leave the structure and familiarity of professional football to venture into the wide-open spaces of retirement and travel

Nisha Vora of Rainbow Plant Life is a former lawyer who sensibly gave that up to become a vegan food blogger. She’s written a wonderful recipe book called The Vegan Instant Pot Cookbook

I’m delighted to speak with Sara Jenkins, chef and owner of one of my absolute favourite New York restaurants, Porsena.

I’m happy to be back at the microphone, and I’m very happy you’ve chosen to join me.

Today, Chef and I discuss her new book, Burdock & Co: Poetic Recipes Inspired by Ocean, Land & Air.

So let’s head to the Bacchus Lounge now… Join me for a great talk with my friend, Jeanie Smith.

Beyond the stories, I try to bring you practical information – everything from great spots to dine, to how you can be a better cook at home, to what we can all do as guests (never mind what the restaurants are doing) to improve our own dining experiences.

On today’s show, Sonja shares some of her top food picks in Las Vegas, including some neighbourhoods you may not have explored yet plus Sonja’s number one, first-choice Korean restaurant in the city!

Southern Nevada, on a beautiful back deck in beautiful Boulder City, for my latest talk with the Camper Chef himself, Bart Cops.

I also look ahead to some exciting upcoming interviews, and in particular to a few involving food writers.

Join me for a whirlwind weekend tour of Vegas!

Right now, though, satisfy your Vegas food cravings by joining me and Laura Tucker for Episode 025 of the Cheftimony Podcast!
