Hello Everyone! I am pleased to share the new podcast hosted by Emmanuel Laroche. (Linked here). Emmanuel has had many fine guests on including Nina Compton, Sean Brock, Will Guidara and more. He is very experienced in the art of the interview from having done this for years. I plan to listen to many of the previous shows. He took me back to my earliest food memories, Chefs I’ve cooked with. Famous guests. Who were my mentors and whom I’ve mentored. In short a conversation to listen to while enjoying a fine glass of wine!
From his website he offers these words,
“My name is Emmanuel Laroche, and I have been working on the marketing side of the food and beverage industry for more than 25 years.
Today, we delve into the fascinating journey of Chef Norman Van Aken, considered one of the founders of New American Cuisine. A true culinary legend, Van Aken is a pioneer who expertly blends old-world techniques with new-world flavors, coining the term “fusion.” With numerous books, his own Netflix series, and a legacy of inspiring and mentoring many of today’s culinary leaders, Van Aken’s story is one you won’t want to miss.
In an overview he adds this regarding his podcasts overall.
“I interview trending chefs and bartenders to provide insight into their background, their inspirations and the unique personal experiences that have enabled them to become leaders in the worlds of culinary and mixology.
During these interviews, I delve into the influences that drive the creative minds of these masters, from cultural heritage to regionality, ingredient sourcing, cooking techniques and more.
From big-city mixologists creating innovative cocktails to the small-town chefs who are driving the current Southern Revival, Flavors Unknown gives a discerning look at the world of food and drink.
Tune in and inspire your own creativity!”
Thank You Emmanuel! I look forward to our next time chatting. Perhaps over a beautiful meal.
