Podcast: How I Learned To Cook

Everyday people share their stories on how they learned to cook, or not.

My vision is to tell every day people’s stories about food and cooking. I want to create a podcast that feels like friends telling stories to each other at the kitchen table having a cup of coffee. I am looking for the spectrum of emotions we experience as humans because food and cooking are such an integral part of our lives.

Episodes

I am currently extending invitations for guests.  Possible topics include:

• A medical diagnosis forced me to learn how to cook.
• My family taught me.
• I learned from YouTube.
• I know how to cook, but I’m diving in to learning new ethnic cuisines.
• I am learning about canning, preserving, or fermentation.
• I bake, not cook!
• I learned during the pandemic.
• I’m an empty nester adjusting to smaller recipes.
• I’m an expert for cooking on a budget.
• I only cook in the microwave.
• I love to cook so much, I opened a restaurant, food truck or catering business.
• I hate to cook!
• I’ve tried to learn. I don’t know how.

If you know for sure that you would like to be a guest, feel free to schedule a 30-minute prep meeting with me on my calendar.  Please be sure to review the suggested questions and release form prior to our meeting.

If you need more information, please continue reading this page and the Guest Details page too.
