Description
After years writing and editing "real life" articles and books set in and around the food and restaurant realm, Ruth Reichl recently wrote her first work of fiction, The Paris Novel. The book follows young protagonist Stella as she discovers life's pleasures, and gets to know herself, in the most romantic city on Earth. In this Special Conversation, Ruth discusses the book's genesis, its examination of sensuality, and why writing it allowed her to enjoy the writing process as never before.Huge thanks to our presenting sponsor, meez, the recipe operating software for professionals.

Episode 2: Amanda Cohen: Amanda Cohen has been chef-owner of downtown New York City's groundbreaking vegetable restaurant Dirt Candy for nearly a decade. Dirt Candy began as a 350-square-foot labor of love and grew into its current, much larger home two years ago. Recently Amanda shifted to an all-tasting-menu format, so we thought it was a perfect time to check in with this always thoughtful, entertaining chef. (Fans of Andrew's prior podcast, The Front Burner with Jimmy and Andrew, will remember her as one of our most frequent and favorite guests.) Amanda takes us through her career, the unique challenges of being a vegetable-focused chef, the omnipresent turbulence of the hospitality business, and the joys of using her restaurant to support causes she believes in. by Andrew Talks to Chefs
