This week as we are just about one week out from Thanksgiving I am so thrilled to share my episode with the fabulous, Pamela Salzman. What a pleasure it was to chat with Pamela and not only learn kitchen and entertaining tips but hear her story. I have been following Pamela since 2016 (almost 10 years!) and have loved her clean, fresh and unfussy, California approach to cooking. Her recipes continue to make their way into my kitchen after all these years and after even one quick glance at her website, you can't help but want to cook!
Pamela's first cookbook, "Kitchen Matters," was published in June 2017 and her second book, "Quicker than Quick," was released in April 2020. She is a contributor to the Food Network Kitchen app and has appeared on numerous media outlets including The Today Show, The Rachael Ray Show, Hallmark's Home and Family, dozens of local TV shows, GOOP, MindBodyGreen, ELLE magazine, Allure, and many others.
And while she has many accolades, Pamela's story is a reminder that the unexpected & unplanned can sometimes lead to the most rewarding experiences. Originally from Long Island, I loved learning that Pamela has a Philadelphia connection as she graduated from the University of Pennsylvania as an Economics major. She is a wonderful example of what it looks like to have built a career over many, many years while juggling young children. What started as taking a cooking class with her mom friends led to each business development, cookbook, TV appearance and so much more. You can't help but be impressed & inspired.
We of course cover all the basics for your entertaining needs...everything from playlist to the surprise item you can make in advance and freeze!
I hope you enjoy Pamela's story and her many entertaining & cooking tips. There were so many take aways. The one that I'm incorporating next week as I prepare to host our family for Thanksgiving is Pamela's brilliant & simple "If I have time" note added to the entertaining prep. Listen to the full episode for all the details.
Enjoy & Happy Thanksgiving. xo
