July 9, 2026 • 13 mins

We headed to the cafeteria to chat, where Susur and Michael spoke passionately about their food philosophy, emphasizing organic, in-season ingredi...

Nanny and Child Reunion: My Dear Evelyn and I Find Each Other After 50-Plus Years

May 7, 2026 • 7 mins
One of the sweetest moments of my life took place when I was reunited with my childhood nanny, Evelyn. Hired by my parents when I was an infant, Evelyn left her small rural community at age 17 to care for me in our Montreal home. Fifty years later, I reunited with my beloved nanny, who had spent her life on a farm near the tiny village of Brinston, not far from where she grew up. I have fond memories of the summers spent with Evely...

October 23, 2025 • 18 mins
Bruno Feldeisen understands the emotional aspects of food and cooking. When I interviewed him for my podcast in 2017, we dove deep into the meaning and feelings that go hand-in-hand with preparing food for others. Bruno had a difficult childhood that, while in many ways tragic, created a path to deeper meaning in his life and work. He is a man who cares deeply about being of service to others and is compelled to lead with kindness....

Chef Matty Matheson on Addiction, Politics and Pancakes

Congratulations to Matty Matheson on 11 years of sobriety! I interviewed Matty in 2017 when he was still newly sober. His joie de vivre was apparent in our conversation and today he still broadcasts messages of love for his new lease on life. Matty's authenticity is part of his charm - he is big, gregarious, tattooed,  creative, down-to-earth and principled. And I highly recommend his recipe for fluffy pancakes!
