Our friend Jamie Oliver returns to the show, and we could not be happier to talk with him about so many things. He’s currently appearing on Netflix as part of the Chef’s Table: Legends series. In addition to the Netflix show, he will be launching his 10 Cooking Skills for Life platform in the United States, a free curriculum available for schools and organizations that is designed to teach young children all the skills they need to cook. For those who didn’t grow up watching food TV, here’s the deal. Jamie pioneered a form of food television that brought cameras into the home in a way not previously seen. When The Naked Chef debuted on BBC Two in the UK and the Food Network in the United States in 1999, home cooking on TV was a stand-and-stir affair. Here, a young and floppy Oliver was cooking real food from a cool East London flat, talking viewers through the relative simplicity of making dinner. Oliver has gone on to write numerous cookbooks (selling 50 million in the UK alone) and create food television that expanded beyond cooking, producing documentaries about the sugar industry and school lunches that transitioned his work from dude food evangelist to heartier activism. We really enjoyed this talk with Jamie Oliver. Also on the show, we have a great conversation with Jake Cohen . Jake’s a talented cookbook author and most certainly in the modern social media mix.

Care and Feeding covers her time working as a dutiful assistant for both Mario Batali and Anthony Bourdain (let that sink in for a moment), and how her life was entangled in and around the Most Important People in Food for over two decades. It’s a wild ride, and Laurie covers her ups and downs with a strong voice and biting wit. In this episode, we hear all about her work, from booking flights to writing magazine features, and how her addiction to drugs and alcohol nearly brought it all down. This is a modern recovery story and a must-read for anybody interested in her megawatt former bosses. I so loved catching up with Laurie. Also on the episode, I’m joined by Rebecca Flint Marx . Rebecca is Eater’s home editor and leads the publication’s cookbook coverage. She just published a massive spring preview , and we go over so many wonderful books being published this season.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedToday on the show we return to the world of New York City restaurants with two great conversations. Just because Michael Stillman ’s father is Alan Stillman, founder of the Smith & Wollensky and TGI Fridays chains, doesn’t mean he grew up wanting to go into the family business. Indeed, Michael grew up in the business, but it took some time for him to get to where he is today: operating Quality Branded , the restaurant group behind Quality Italian, Quality Meats, Don Angie, Bad Roman, and many more. We talk about the current restaurant climate and what inspires Michael to dive headfirst into a restaurant concept. It’s a really cool talk. And before that, we speak with the incredible chef Emma Bengtsson . Emma is the chef and partner of Aquavit , which is one of my favorite restaurants in New York. Emma joined us in the studio to talk about her cooking career, which started in Sweden and landed in New York City. We discuss Emma’s expert baking, what she enjoys about running a busy kitchen, and much more with one of New York’s top chefs. Do you enjoy This Is TASTE?
