A story about green goo, bad stage makeup, goblins, and PISSING ON HOSPITALITY! Listen in as me and my returning guest, Dan, talk through this infamous accidental comedy. Written and directed by auteur Claudio Fragasso—tower of talent who as gone by the names Drake Floyd, Clyde Anderson, Werner Knox, and Claudio Sansevero—(Rats: Night of Terror, Scalps, Night Killer, Karate Man), The Chicago Reader said "the script is stupid, the acting is wooden, [and] the special effects are laughable," and Cinema Crazed called it "a piss poor awful movie and nothing more." Goddamn, critics! Back off this celebrated piece of American Italian (?) cinema! It tells the story of the Waits family who does a house swap with a strange family from a town Nilbog, where they can take the world's worst-sounding vacation living as farmers. Yippie. Only, once they arrive in the rural hamlet things get weird. The locals behave oddly, are obsessed with milk, and hate meat. All the while each of the family has their own hangups. Joshua, the young son, still sees visions of dead Grandpa Seth who warns him of impending doom. Holly, the teenage daughter, is hot and cold for her "boyfriend" and gets pissed when he drags along his buddies to her vacation. Mother, Diana, is always surprised. Father, Michael, just wants to have a good time with his family living off the land...and HOSPITALITY! Toss in some goblins and shit just gets golden. The film is currently available on Pluto TV, Tubi, Blu-ray, and DVD.

This conversation is an important one because we've had the opportunity to talk about a culture and a language here in the US that is often, at best, misunderstood and at worst, stereotyped. Luna talks to us about the history of Italian immigration to the U.S. and which regions of Italy came to influence the development of Italian spoken here. We talk about how the language is evolving over generations in the U.S. and some common factors between recent immigrant families and those families whose ancestors immigrated generations ago. We talk about harmful stereotypes that have perpetuated about the Italian-American community so stay tuned for that segment And, because we love words around here, Luna talks to us about some words that she's researched for her series “Cosa Dici” where she finds the origins of some commonly used Italian-American words. Big thank you to Luna for having this conversation with us and giving us the history lesson we need to understand the Italian-American community better. This episode is just the latest in a handful of episodes where we've discussed languages spoken in the U.S so if you're interested in learning more about indigenous, colonial or immigrant languages spoken here in the U.S. make sure you listen to Episode 70. Speaking Gullah Geechee with Sunn M'Cheaux, Episode 58. Speaking U.S. Spanish with Tertulia Podcast, 55. Speaking Hawaiian with Halau Olelo and Episode 49.

Nasty Pasty finally returns with a long-anticipated (is it though?) analysis of a true American-Italian giallo experience, with William Rose's The Girl in Room 2A from 1974. Cosy up away from the Covid blues and tune into the latest from the files of filth!

Vincenzo is true to the core American-Italian from Metro Detroit. He is a civil engineer who graduated from Michigan State University with a stellar 3.51 GPA. He allegedly lives in Findlay, Ohio but is very rarely ever seen there because his heart is in Michigan. He is one of the most difficult people to meet up for a beer because he has his priorities set. Of which are: spending quality time with his girlfriend Gabriella, snowmobiling all winter, and working in his family business: cultivating Christmas trees. Please welcome Vincenzo Vultaggio.

We discuss the bizarre 1974 American-Italian film "Beyond the Door."

For the first time ever, all Scottish citizens aged 16 and over will have the right to vote, regardless of nationality. Previously, only British, EU and Commonwealth citizens were allowed to take part. In Thursday's parliamentary elections, thousands from further afield, including refugees, will now be able to cast their ballots.  For Natalia Urban, a Brazilian journalist who has lived in the UK since 2015, learning that she would at last be able to participate in this democratic exercise was an emotional moment, especially after the past few years. She felt the debate about the treatment of EU citizens overshadowed the question of extra-European immigration. “It might sound silly, but I cried,” she remembers. “I’ve always been a very political person. It is very important that the Scottish government decided that my opinion was important.” Software engineer Claudia Menting has, for the very first time, used her postal vote to elect her MSPs. Because she holds a dual American-Italian citizenship, she has, up until now, only been able to vote in a handful of elections. “It was as if you were only allowed bits of the puzzle. If you’re only getting one vote, it doesn’t feel like it counts. I definitely feel more involved in this election”, she says. Nadia Kanyange is not only able to take part in the vote, but she is standing as a Scottish Green Party candidate in Glasgow. She arrived in the UK in 2003, seeking asylum from Burundi, an East African country plunged into a devastating civil war from 1993 to 2005. The Green candidate got into Scottish politics thanks to a political shadowing scheme with SNP MSP Clare Adamson: she had the opportunity to follow her in Parliament and in her constituency near Glasgow. “The interest came into me and I thought this was something I could really do for my community and the people. So when the opportunity came with the Greens, I thought I could bring something”, she says. With a big part of the population now able to make their voice heard, Natalia Urban believes that Scottish politics will become more inclusive and change for the better. “Our participation matters because we’re bringing a new vision of Scotland”, the journalist, “and bring something new to the political scenario. We want to know that the country to which we’re contributing does something for you in return as well.” Claudia Menting agrees, and wonders where the UK would be today had EU citizens been given the right to vote in the 2016 EU membership referendum which led to Brexit. “If we had all been given the chance to vote, would you have not rather voted in your favour, to help yourself, your community and to make a difference? I would encourage people to vote: you are part of this country”, she argues. Having more diverse lived experiences in Parliament could have a real, positive impact on the policy-making process, according to Nadia Kanyange. Her experience of dealing with the UK’s asylum system is always going to inform her choices as a politician. “I’ve always wanted to see a radical change in the way asylum seekers and refugees are treated. Unfortunately, immigration is a reserved power, so we don’t get to decide”, she says. “That’s why I’m pro-independence, then Scotland can have its own immigration law. My focus will be on human rights, social justice, equal opportunities, and climate change.”

On this week’s episode of Speed Secrets Podcast, Brian Ghidinelli, founder of Motorsportsreg.com, joins me to talk about how to make a comeback in racing, focusing on the basics – vision, braking, steering, throttle – first, then racecraft and the track, the importance of focusing on one’s own performance and not the lap times or competition, and how competitive nature can interfere with having fun! Brian also shares his personal experience with preparing to compete in the SCCA Runoffs at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in October 2021, and how Hagerty purchasing MotorsportReg.com has impacted Brian’s life. We also get into how the pandemic has impacted the motorsports. Brian’s Speed Secret: You see in your own performance what you want to see or what you can see - you have to get someone else without your filters to help find the details. Check out Brian below! Hagerty.com MotorsportReg.com @ghidinelli When eight-year old Brian was told he would never curl his tongue because it was hereditary, he practiced in front of the mirror for days until he learned. He has stubbornly ignored conventional wisdom since. Brian was the founder of MotorsportReg.com, a CRM, commerce platform, and marketplace that makes it more fun to organize and attend motorsport events. He is currently the Managing Director of Hagerty Motorsports since Hagerty acquired his company in 2019. Behind the screen, he leads a team helping more than 1,300 clubs, racetracks and sanctioning bodies organize, promote and manage 7,000 events annually. Behind the wheel, he is a national racer, championship winner and two-times winner of the 25 Hours of Thunderhill endurance race. Previously, Brian co-founded San Francisco design and technology firm VFIVE. Award-winning web work for Macromedia, Yahoo and Billabong led to an acquisition by global agency IconMedialab. He also once played the role of journalist, flying in a Soviet-era helicopter to cover the TransSyberia Rally from Moscow, Russia to Ulaanbataar, Mongolia for SPEEDTV.com. Brian lives near Sonoma Raceway in San Rafael, California with his wife, dog, racecar, motorcycle and shifter kart. He is a dual American-Italian citizen thanks to his Nonno. He serves on the board for Thunderhill Raceway Park.

Vicky was born in Bermuda to Military father. She lived most of her life between California and Colorado. For 9 year she lived in Saudi Arabia working at the King's hospital. After her time in the desert of Saudi Arabia, she fulfilled a big dream and moved to the desert of Arizona. Vicky says: “I am what is known as a geriatric Mom, I was 41 years old when I had my one and only child in Saudi Arabia. I have two step children, one in Colorado and one in Maine. Have a granddaughter who is 2 and a granddog who is 1 year old as well as three cats! I was born hard of hearing and used to wear hearing aids. I attended special education up until 5th grade. Then, I mainstreamed into regular school with its challenges. In 2004, I got my cochlear implant which I love and it came in time, too. My work started using personal work phones shortly after that and the cochlear implant assisted me with hearing on those phones at work. Cell phones were becoming popular, too. But, gravitate to texting instead of hearing on the phone. I am quite active. I ride bikes, used to mountain bike seriously, but now take hilly streets nearby; hike, treadmill, and floor exercises. I climb stairs at work. I love to sew, read, and cook. I do play the piano if only I would sit long enough!” Vicky attended nursing school in Colorado, and eventually obtained her BSN after her diploma in Colorado followed by her Master's in Arizona. She has been a nurse for almost 40 years, working mostly on a Med/Surg floor. While in Saudi Arabia Vicky climbed the ladder to be a Head Nurse on a Med/Surg floor. After a rich career in nursing, Vicky is planning for her retirement in the next year or so! Vicky met her wonderful American-Italian husband 16 years ago, and has been happily married for 13 of those years. Vicky and Sal travel a lot, and plan to travel more after retirement!

Jennifer Anton is an American/Italian dual citizen born in Joliet, Illinois now living between London and Lake Como, Italy. An advocate for women’s rights and equality, she hopes to rescue women's stories from history, starting with her Italian family. In 2006, after the birth of her daughter, Jennifer suffered a life-threatening post-partum cardiomyopathy, and soon after, her Italian grandmother died. This tumultuous year began a 14-year journey to capture the stories of her female Italian ancestors and develop them into a historical/biographical fiction novel. In 2012, she moved with her family to Milan, Italy. Later, she moved to London. Under the Light of the Italian Moon is her first novel, based on the lives of her Italian grandmother and great grandmothers during the rise of fascism and World War II. The inspiration behind ‘Under the Light of the Italian Moon’ in Jennifer Anton’s own words: “My grandmother grew up under Mussolini’s fascist rule and then lived through Nazi occupation in her small northern Italian town, yet she never talked about it, and the reality of what she lived through went unknown. She died two weeks after my daughter was born, never getting to meet my baby, and I wondered what of hers I could share with my daughter. The unanswered questions I never was able to ask became a map for my journey to understand her life and brought me to Italy again and again. She never returned to the country she loved. I did that for her.” For terms of use, please visit www.versushistory.com

Chef Chris Cosentino says: "you can't create future unless you understand history. If there's not a grounding in history, then it just doesn't make sense. And it's also easier to draw from history than it is to just make shit up!" What we covered in this episode Chef Chris Cosentino shares his thoughts about the situation created by COVID-19 and wonder what the future might bring but one thing is certain is that hospitality will have to reinvent itself. Chris Cosentino describes the four restaurant concepts: Cockscomb in San Francisco, Acacia House in Nappa Valley, Jackrabbit in Portland, OR, and Rosalie in Houston.Each concept is different but based on its own historical aspect.Cockscomb is based on the Gold Rush and the influx of large concentration of immigrants from all over the globe.Acacia House is based on all the origins of grapes from foreign countries to the Valley.Jackrabbit is based on people moving there because of lumbering. The food is very artisanal.Rosalie is American Italian, related to Chef Chris Cosentino's great grandmother who immigrated from Italy.Chef Chris Cosentino mentions that he doesn't really have a process for his creative approach. He doesn't like to overthink everything. It starts with a seasonal product and ultimately it should be based off something historical.Talking about creativity versus technique, Chef Chris Cosentino says that because Chefs are trade people, ultimately everything is based on technique.Patience is gone because everybody's so hooked up to their phones and their computers and to what's next. Chef Chris Cosentino says that there is a million techniques out there and million ways to do things. And ultimately Chefs are just riding in the backs of thousands of grandma's before them.Talking about the new generation of cooks, Chef Chris Cosentino wonder how do you get somebody to be excited to do the same task over and over again until it is beautiful and they want to make like that every time. Chef Cosentino talks about No Kid Hungry and that today because of the pandemic one kid out of four are suffering from malnutrition.Link to the podcast episode on Apple Podcast Rapid-fire questions. Links to other episodes in San Francisco Chef Kim Alter - Nightbird Pasta recipe with broccoliTo me when people are cooking at home, unless they're baking recipes or guidelines, not everybody has the same ingredients that restaurants have. Everybody has different markets and different seasons, and it's really about adapting to what's available in their moment and in their place.
Then it's really about learning to think on your feet and know what flavors work together. So, something very simple as broccoli. You know, people think of broccoli as like this green tree that you get a giant wedge of it on a plate at like a steakhouse. But there's so many varieties of broccoli. There's broccoli de Cicco, there's broccolini, there's broccoli rapini, there's sweet broccoli. Then, you have all these other broccoli's, there's arugula rabe, which is a broccoli. You have all these like sprouting broccolis purple sprouting broccoli. Then it's such a simple thing as taking a penne pasta, and in the pan you have very basic things, you need garlic, you need olive oil, you need chili flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, and you can use broccoli, but you chop it, you peel the stems and you chop it up and you start by cooking the broccoli stems and then you feed in the garlic and then you start adding your pasta to it. Once you add your pasta, then you add pasta water, then you add olive oil. You add the broccoli tops, which are the soft tender bits that cook really quickly. So it's really about understanding a product, then it boils down to timing and being prepared in advance and having all the stuff cut properly. #gallery-3 { margin: auto; } #gallery-3 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center;

Hey bleakers. It's been months! Kieran is back from his quest to find himself in the wasted landscape of America. For an agonising fifty minutes, hear him deliver his field report about conspiracy theory, celebrity sightings, Yosemite mai tais and American Italian cuisine. Then listen to Darcy's breakdown of the Andrews/Hanson family court investigation - it's depressing! In stories, we cover Bernie's health scare and coverage of his campaign more generally, Boris Johnson's unbroken stream of public self-humiliations, the bizarre and disquieting boring of Australia's political elite into the depths of the American arsehole, and our experiences of the climate strike on opposite sides of the world. Hopefully we'll be back to a pretty regular schedule now with both of us dumb bastards back in Melbourne full time. I hope you're well. We've missed you!

Zach interviews Andrew Cotto, an American Italian author who used to live in Florence, Italy.

  And it’s good to be back with the 1st episode of season 2 and today the subject is DRIVE. How to find it, how to maintain it and how to harness it. I always start new episodes by recapping on the last but today I need to recap on the last two. Episode 15 was all about setting and achieving your goals and was placed at the end of season 1 as it’s an absolutely vital one –If you KNOW your goals then you can focus on what is IMPORTANT and PRIORITIZE those things over others. I also released a NEW YEAR SPECIAL which details Jinny Ditzler’s incredible book Your Best Year Yet. If you missed that one then I urge you to go back and check it out. I finally completed my plan for my best year yet on the 4th January and have been using it to drive me towards my own goals for this year and I guarantee you if you take it seriously that it will do the same for you. I’m going to flag it as essential listening for you if you are serious about productivity. Before I go to DRIVE I’d like to talk about a few changes that I have made this season as a result of what I have learned from the last. You may have noticed over the course of season 1 that the episodes got a little longer than the 10 minutes I’d started with originally. I realised as the season went on that points which require the listener to think about and absorb new information, needed longer pauses placed after them before I moved on to the next topic and started lengthening the gaps in recording after I’d made a point to allow for better comprehension by the listener. So as I move into season 2 you can expect shows to run at nearer the 10-20 minute mark as a result and a couple of them will get up to nearly 30. It really depends on the topic. ANECTDOTE DENIS WAITLEY the American motivational speaker states that “Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning.” And the athlete ROGER BANNISTER who was the first person to run a mile in under 4 minutes said something similar “The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the man who will win.” Generally speaking, I seem to have what is referred to as DRIVE. I’m not a hundred percent sure when or where I got it, but I have it. At least I have it sometimes… I had the drive to get off my butt and prepare this podcast for example and to be truthful as I finalised my research and wrote up my notes to record this I could happily have sat down and watched some TV show or relaxed instead. But I didn’t. And here is why. Last year I made a decision that this podcast was something worth doing and I created 15 episodes. No one paid me to do it. I just decided to start and here we are. I am recording this podcast because I want to do it. For most of us, however, wanting to do something is just not enough. So what additional SPECIAL POWER did I muster to bring this episode to you right now? You really want to know? It’ll sound like I’m bullshitting so be warned… I er… WROTE IT DOWN. That’s it. That’s THE SPECIAL SAUCE I used to make me move my ass… and you may have caught this from me in an earlier episode but there’s NOTHING QUITE LIKE A DEADLINE to give you a kick up the backside and create a bit of DRIVE. I simply decided that season 2 will launch on the 24th of February, and maybe it might slip a week if I get a lot of work, but I’ll aim for the 24th of February and I’ll research, write and record 12 episodes which will be ready to release by that date. These deadlines are part of my Best Year Yet plan and one of my 10 larger goals for the year, so I took that goal and that release date and I worked back from it. I wrote that this episode, number 17, would be completed by the 12th of January, and I’ve done the same for the next 11 episodes recording every 4 days or so after that. This is no small task, but I’m doing it. I record in batches before the release of a full season, and I have written what Jenny Ditzler refers to as process goals in my Google diary, to ensure that each and every episode, and it’s social networking marketing images etc will be ready by the time I launch. But what else is involved in finding your drive? Putting aside the obvious one that gets us to work (earning money) let’s look at some others. How’s about DETERMINATION for one. That’s part of it. It might be determination to win, or just to beat someone else to the finish line, or maybe it’s just to achieve something for yourself, but with DETERMINATION, you can fuel your drive. Hand in hand with that is probably PERSISTENCE. Relentless persistence. There’s an awesome Napoleon Hill quote that goes “Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.” And that’s one I find hard to argue. PASSION too is a contributing factor. Let me throw an Oprah Winfrey quote at you for that one Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you. FOCUS is part of it too, as without that I’d have been sidetracked along the way. It’s one of the cornerstones of productivity and I’ll Pull out my old Bruce Lee quote book to push that one home. He says something like, the SUCCESSFUL WARRIOR IS THE AVERAGE MAN, WITH LASER LIKE FOCUS. I suppose another reason, off the top of my head, is commitment. I announced in the previous episode that this season will launch and I have to deliver, for want of a better way of putting it, to save face not only with those that listen but for myself. And then there’s DEDICATION. I had a whole host of reasons for doing this show, and I am dedicated to continuing it. As I said earlier, I want it to help people and that makes it all easier. Frank Lloyd Wright was quoted as saying “I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.” So with all that said I also think I know why, on occasion, I LOSE DRIVE ON MY OWN PROJECTS and I think its FEAR that halts me. I’ve experienced this time and time again just after I shoot something, but before I edit. A sense a fear that if I try to pull it together into a finished piece, that I will somehow have messed it up, and that the people I have worked with on it will be disappointed or that it will just be no good. I cover this topic quite specifically on my episode about the inner critic, but here it is again, alive and well and killing my drive. THE LESSON If you feel that you have lost your drive, believe me, you are not alone. We all find ourselves in a slump of sorts now and again, and some people really just never seem to get out of it. We have all sat NOT doing things WE KNOW WE SHOULD and gotten MORE AND MORE FRUSTRATED as we see others in our field advance and move forward while we seem to be stuck in neutral. I would think you may agree with me that, as creatives, we often lose DRIVE not just for work created for others, but also for our own passion projects. What I am focussing down on here is perhaps MOTIVATION. What motivates the drive within us? Well, there are two sides to that. You have: Intrinsic Motivational factors: Deeply personal values and beliefs. These are what I draw on in creating this podcast for example. And Extrinsic Motivational factors: and these would be tangible rewards, such as pay, or even consequences like punishments. The carrots and the sticks. The Daniel Pink book entitled DRIVE, which I’ll link to in the show notes, presents many scientific studies which prove believe it or not that tangible extrinsic rewards actually undermine feelings of autonomy and actually result in decreased motivation. AMAZON AFFILIATE LINKS US: https://amzn.to/2E6Xh1J   UK: https://amzn.to/2Et72Je  Quoting directly from the book, he says… “When it comes to motivation, there’s a gap between what science knows and what business does. Our current operating system–which is built around external, carrot-and-stick motivators–doesn’t work and often does harm. We need an upgrade. And the science and research show the way.” He is specifically talking about BUSINESS in this quote – I’d like to point out though, that the creative industries can only consider themselves INDUSTRIES if those of us within them think, at least on some level, in terms of business. And show business is show BUSINESS after all. Whether you are listening as a film professional, other creative or simply as in interested individual getting into a business mindset can be no bad thing for your productivity. “If you don't drive your business, you will be driven out of business.” said the Scottish-born American founder of Forbes magazine B. C. Forbes I raise this as if we want to learn how to master our own creative drive then we should begin to understand what is behind it. We need to engage our high-level thinking again. Daniel Pink says that DRIVE has three essential elements: Autonomy – the desire to direct our own lives. Mastery — the urge to get better and better at something that matters. Purpose — the yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves. So let me expand on that as you must recognise these elements in picking up and dusting down your own drive. I’ll go on to some applicable solutions shortly. So Autonomy – that’s just a fancy name for doing what you want to do. If you have autonomy you are more likely to have DRIVE. It’s also one of what they call the six principles of adult learning that adults are internally motivated and self-directed. When you make choices relevant to your own objectives and you have the freedom to assume responsibility for those choices, then you are more likely to find the drive you need. That’s Autonomy. Mastery is the next one. Quite often you will find that drive comes easily in learning new skills, or in skills for which you are improving, or just want to get better at. It’s NOT about IN-BORN GENIUS or talent for these things. It’s just about getting better at what you do. If you are seeking mastery of something you will find the tenacity of effort required to get there. Seeking mastery of any skill or task, and the feeling that you are improving are strong contributing factors in achieving inner drive. All great masters go through a rigorous apprentice phase as they learn not only about the topic at hand but about themselves. It’s through that process that the focus to improve is better, and with that comes drive. “Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement.” ―W. Clement Stone /Unquote Finally Daniel Pink talks about Purpose: The yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves. Perhaps we are talking about destiny here or certainly a deep desire to achieve a worthwhile endeavour. I suppose that’s where I find the drive to do this podcast. A NEED to do what we are here to do. “Effort and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.” Said John F. Kennedy, unquote. So now that we have an idea of the principles behind what creates a strong inner DRIVE a little more fully, let's look at a few solutions and hacks to get things moving. I’ve based this section on an excellent article from THE CUSP which I’ll link to in the show notes. Firstly: GOALS – episode 15 was all about goals, and in terms of drive they help because not knowing how to start is the most daunting part. Whatever you are doing, whether it’s writing an essay, or shooting a film or loading that dishwasher - Figure out one specific goal that’s achievable now. When you see the path, it’s easier to forge ahead. Be specific though and write it down, that is probably not necessary for the dishwasher goal, but I digress. I’ve said it several times before. Scientific studies have proven that if you write something down, even on a post-it note, it doesn’t have to be a novel - Then you are 80% more likely to do it. Next - And a few of the rules that I talk about in episode 9 are based on this, JUST START IT – The problem most of us have is that we’ve got no momentum. Make a commitment not to complete your task but to do just a few minutes of it. When you get started, you may just find that you complete the whole thing. Next, BUILD ON LITTLE WINS and FORGIVE TINY LOSSES - When you keep your stakes small, your achievements encourage you to keep going, and you can easily rebound from misfortunes. If you washed a load of dishes, for example, it’s easier to put them away while you’re there. Conversely, who cares if you didn’t edit your film today? Forgive yourself for not doing the whole thing, and sync up the footage instead so that you are more ready to edit tomorrow. You’re still working towards your goal. Make these larger goals a sum of their smaller parts. RECOGNISE EBB AND FLOW - You physically can’t maintain energy and focus all the time. You’re not a machine. Try attacking a task, in short, intense bursts interspersed with breaks, rather than trying to ‘push through’ or ‘stick at it’. And don’t overcompensate for a bad day by trying to work twice as hard the next. You’re setting yourself up to fail and establishing a vicious cycle. GET SUPPORT - “Motivation comes from working on things we care about. It also comes from working with people we care about.” —Sheryl Sandberg /Unquote - True drive comes from within – but it’s nicer with passengers. Spending time with family, friends, colleagues and mentors – meeting for coffee, or even a quick phone chat – can help you enrich and recharge. Gravitate to energetic people who make you want to be better. But beware social media. Don’t waste hours in a feedback loop of checking notifications and thinking up witty comments. You’re only making procrastination feel productive. I’m guilty of that one… TREAT OTHER PEOPLE AS INSPIRATION, NOT COMPETITION - Because everyone wears their game face on social media, you can get the false impression you’re lagging behind. Everyone struggles sometimes, with something. Remember with social networking too that you’re not seeing reality, you are seeing the edited highlights of someone’s life. The photo which they have chosen to release, not the one in which they look like a fat oaf. BTW I’m particularly good at deleting pics in which I look like a fat brainless oaf from my phone before any would ever be released publicly. And remember that other people’s success doesn’t make you a loser. You need to adopt an “If they can make it, so can I!” attitude. I was the year below Kevin McKidd at drama school and when he left he I think did a tour of The Silver Darlings and then was in TRAINSPOTTING. I bumped into someone that was in his year and I said, isn’t it amazing about Kevin? That guy was so down, so annoyed at Kevin’s success that I think even now, 25 years later he’s still annoyed. Kevin was always brilliant, and I was genuinely happy for him. Try and kill the negativity and adopt the “if they can do it, so can I” attitude. In addition, the novelist Michael Korda points out that “One way to keep momentum going is to have constantly greater goals.” In an article published on LIVEITFORWARD.COM the creator Kent Julian talks about how to Get Your Drive Back if you’ve lost it somewhere along the way. I think this advice is invaluable. He says DO NOT Try Harder, and I absolutely know where he is coming from on that. Figuring out how to get your drive back is not about exerting more energy or pushing harder, it’s about creating space to find your mojo. The first secret to how to get your drive back is to slow down and intentionally look inward. He calls this approach leading your life from quiet and just like you have to stop driving to put gas in your car, LEADING YOUR LIFE FROM QUIET allows you to stop pushing to put fuel in your life. This is exactly why I say in episode 2 that getting back control of your life starts with saying NO often, and meaning it. That gives you the breathing space to start gaining control. Kent says that the key for him is to set up a regular time to lead your life from quiet and to follow through with it consistently. I suggest that you set aside an hour or so at a specific time every week to consider where you are at, and what you need to do to move forward. His second tip is to Live It Forward. He says yes, stop pushing, but that doesn’t mean you should completely stop moving. You should live it forward by taking small, positive steps every day. Don’t look for one, big, magical step to take that will somehow solve everything. Mojo builds as a result of taking consistent, simple actions every day. As you take these positive steps forward, your drive will begin to build again. The American-Italian racing driver Mario Andretti says that Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek. SUMMING UP I’ve largely been talking about drive to do bigger life-level tasks here today, but if you have trouble with getting the drive to do even small tasks then you may want to try one of the anti-procrastination hacks that I talk about in episode 9. That’s available right now on iPlayer or the Android app of your choice. “Motivation will almost always beat mere talent.” Said Norman Ralph Augustine unquote Please remember that external motivators like money and praise can only go so far. You’ll need a strong inner drive to take you to the finish line. By utilising some of the techniques and understanding some of the motivating factors that I have discussed here today you will be able to form and move forward with drive and motivation. CALL TO ACTION One of my most powerful weapons in tackling daunting tasks is to split them into smaller chunks. Your call to action this week is to take something for which you have lost all drive and revisit it. See if, by splitting it down into smaller chunks you can get it started again. If you don’t have a specific task in mind, then assess your day to day tasks and see if, by splitting them up into parts they can be tackled, and become a sum of their parts. These smaller parts will be easier to get into than the whole, daunting thing. Utilise the “Sum of Its Parts Theory” and take from this episode the advice you need to rekindle your drive. That drive and motivation are within you. And never forget the special sauce. WRITE IT DOWN. PUT IT IN YOUR DIARY. BE SPECIFIC. Not every goal can be achieved in 5 minutes, or a day or an hour or a year. There’s no need to rush. In the words of Pablo Picasso - “It took me a lifetime.” ENDING The topic of Drive was requested in a kinda roundabout way by Anna @u_no_me_2 on Twitter but in the interests of true transparency, I was already planning it at the time. I know a lot of people struggle with it and I hope you’ve found the episode worthwhile. Just before I go I’d like to recommend a show called The Filmmakers Podcast which I’ve been listening to for about 6 months now and it’s awesome. Supporting indie film has been something the filmmaker's podcast has taken great pride in and they’ve been promoting other people’s work and campaigns over the year and a half they have been going so why not give back and keep supporting indie film.

Israeli Soul: Easy, Essential, DeliciousBy Michael Solomonov & Steven Cook Intro: Welcome to the Cookery By the Book Podcast, with Suzy Chase. She's just a home cook in New York City, sitting at her dining room table, talking to cookbook authors.Mike Solomonov: My name is Mike Solomonov, and I'm the co-owner and chef at Zahav restaurant. Steven Cook, my partner and I wrote Israeli Soul, the New Cookbook.Suzy Chase: First off, congratulations. Israeli Soul was named one of the best cookbooks for Fall 2018, by New York Times Cooking. When you were researching this cookbook, did you really have 82 meals in eight days?Mike Solomonov: A lot of bites. A lot of inspiration, but I mean I think that that's kind of how it goes when you're over there. Whenever I travel to Israel, that's usually what it is. My day is sort of dictated by the places I go and eat, you know?Suzy Chase: How was that organized? Did you think about it when you got up that morning, or did you just get up and start walking?Mike Solomonov: I'm away over there, because we were bringing photographer, producer, so on and so forth, we had to be a little bit more diligent about it, but a lot of it was like we have to go to these few places, we have to go to these new cities and not plan the rest of the trip around using those guidelines as work parameters for the entire trip.Suzy Chase: As someone who basically grew up in Pittsburgh, describe exploring Israel through the lens of a chef.Mike Solomonov: Well, I think that that was sort of the seed of the catalyst for opening Zahav, getting into Israeli food, or Israeli culture, by sort of food proxy. I think that when you ... There's something familiar enough about Israel, and obviously over the years became deeply personal, but going over there and experiencing what dining is, is fascinating. At the time that Zahav came to fruition, it was really unlike anything that was happening here. It was so many different cultures, so many different kinds of food represented on one table. I mean like figuratively, but also literally on one table. Through the lens of a diner, through the lens of a partially American or Europe classically trained chef, it's fascinating and life changing, and I thought that the more of that spirit, or that soul that we could bring back to the states, to Philly, to our community, the more excited people would get.Suzy Chase: I just want to thank you for adding in substitution ideas in the cookbook. So often, I get bummed because it's hard to find a random spice, or ingredient, and then I give up, so this was great.Mike Solomonov: I appreciate that. I mean, that's kind of what makes it accessible, you know?Suzy Chase: One thing that surprised me about your goldi falafel recipe was it called for a carrot. Is carrot usually in falafel?Mike Solomonov: I don't think so.Suzy Chase: Because I've never detected carrots. What does the carrot do for the goldi falafel?Mike Solomonov: Well, carrot is sweet, carrot is also bright and [inaudible 00:03:25] carrot hue, so it's got tumeric notes to it as well, so it goes really well with things like tumeric, it's delicious, it's really sweet, and it's adding a vegetable to tenderize the dried chickpeas.Suzy Chase: What in your opinion is the most important Israeli dish?Mike Solomonov: Most important Israeli dish would probably be sabich. It's fried eggplant, with tahini, hard boiled eggs, amba, and usually cabbage, cucumber, tomato, or some variation on those fresh chopped salads inside of a pita.Suzy Chase: What's amba?Mike Solomonov: Amba is a mango pickle that is related to Indian mango pickle, and it's under ripe mangos, fenugreek, sometimes mustard, garlic, that and it's sort of cured, fermented and canned into a paste.Suzy Chase: Talk to me about Drew's Mountain Bread. This is a very flat bread, but is it crunchy? Or more soft like a pita?Mike Solomonov: It's more soft like a pita. When it comes directly off the massage or the wok in our case, it's a little bit crunchy, but as it sits it softens. You can use it to wrap things, it makes incredible wraps. It's sort of like the soft tortilla shell. But it also is perfect for like laying down on tables and scooping up food.Suzy Chase: Now onto hummus. It's interesting that, I read in the book, Israelis don't make it at home often, how come?Mike Solomonov: Oh, I mean I think there's just so many different places in Israel that you can get your hummus ... You know, people do make hummus at home, but there's just so many good places, and it requires tons of chickpeas, sometimes equipment, you know?Suzy Chase: You have so many hummus toppings, what is your favorite way out of the cookbook, to top hummus?Mike Solomonov: I'm sort of into the brussel sprout thing right now for the hummus. But, there's ... To me, hot chickpeas with a little bit of loose tahini inside of the hummus tahini is kind of the best way to eat it.Suzy Chase: Why is store bought hummus so different than homemade hummus? It doesn't even taste the same.Mike Solomonov: I think that the store bought hummus usually has preservatives, like citric acid, which affect the flavor negatively. We like to serve hummus fresh, warm, very ... A little bit of lemon, but not ... pickled or preserved, you know? I think that when you have to ... there's things like fermentation, that gloats of acrid garlic flavor that you have to fight against when you're preserving or doing things store bought. So far nobody's quite figured it out yet.Suzy Chase: You're right, it does taste acrid.Mike Solomonov: I've scrutinized a lot of hummus in my day.Suzy Chase: I be- ... Really? Mike Solomonov: Uh-huh. Yes.Suzy Chase: Half of your family is from Bulgaria. Do you incorporate any of that cuisine into this cookbook?Mike Solomonov: Well, Bulgaria and Ottoman or Balkan ... Balkan cuisine conquered by the Ottomans are a really big thing, so yeah, in many iterations it comes across like Bulgarian kabobs, and the bourekas, those things are very, very important to us. And those are Balkan and Bulgarian origins.Suzy Chase: I know with Zahav and Federal Donuts cookbooks, you thought the digital cookbook could be the thing. Talk about your views on the physical versus digital cookbook.Mike Solomonov: You know, I think that holding something in your hands and sharing it, and appreciating the luster of the pages and specifically Israeli Soul, I think the topography really just pops. It feels like three dimensional real. You want to scoop the food out with your hands, you know?Suzy Chase: Yeah, this cookbook is so stunning, you could just sit it out as a coffee table book.Mike Solomonov: That, too. I mean, I think it minimum, right?Suzy Chase: What did Gil Marks and Joe Nathan teach you?Mike Solomonov: I mean, that's a hard thing to say. Joe Nathan continues to teach me on a daily or weekly basis. I would say she is the leading expert in Jewish food, and in more of an anthropological way a sort of commentary on culture, and she is a walking encyclopedia. Her spirit is about inquiring, and about taking things apart, and about celebrating stories and culture, and family and recipes and food. Gil Marks was an incredible author and obviously well, well researched, and his books, especially the Encyclopedia of Jewish Cooking has had a huge impact on our lives.Suzy Chase: Owning a restaurant group is impossible to navigate by yourself, and Steve Cook is your long-time business partner.Mike Solomonov: Yes.Suzy Chase: In terms of writing cookbooks, do your roles break down the same way as they do for your hospitality group?Mike Solomonov: I do, I think that we've got ... Having a healthy partnership, and friendship, and sort of familial relationship and also maintaining sanity while growing a restaurant group from seven employees to over 200 over the course of a decade is not the easiest thing. Yeah, I'm not sure, it sort of changes every day, I think. You know, adapting, becoming resourceful, and balancing the needs of our team, and the needs of our guests, the juggling act that we do all the time, you know?Suzy Chase: I was so bummed to see that Dizengoff closed at Chelsea Market, which is up the street from me. Are you going to open up another one in the city? Or no?Mike Solomonov: I don't know. As of right now, we've got so much going on with Philly. We've got ... You know with the book coming out, we've got a couple new projects that we are working on, and I think that as of right now, we're kind of hanging out solo.Suzy Chase: Okay, well, we'll have to come to you.Mike Solomonov: You know, it's an hour and 20 minutes by train.Suzy Chase: The other night, I made your recipes for a five minute hummus, chopped salad, lamb meatballs and chicken thigh schawarma. I made the two spice mixes, which I think they were key. Talk a little bit about the spice mix section in this cookbook.Mike Solomonov: Well, again, we wanted to make this really accessible, and really easy for people. I think that that ... I think demystifying and showing people that it is literally as simple as between two spices, and applying them to certain ingredients, and then very simple cooking technique creates something sort of ethereal or something that represents this magic of the sum of all parts. I think that with cooking people get scared. Certainly with spices. But with a cuisine that isn't like Italian, or American-Italian they get freaked out. Our job, our livelihood is really based on that, of demystifying and sort of celebrating it, and guiding gently through what it takes to make dishes pop and sing.Suzy Chase: Now, to my segment called, "My Last Meal." If you had to place an order for your last supper, what would it be?Mike Solomonov: I think it would be Dim Sum. Suzy Chase: Oh, so what kind of Dim Sum?Mike Solomonov: There used to be a restaurant in Philly called Lakeside Chinese Deli. They made the most incredible taro rolls, and I would eat like ten of them, you know? But, I think when I'm not cooking Israeli food, I eat tons of Asian foods, and I don't really cook any Asian food whatsoever.Suzy Chase: Where can we find you on social media, the web and in Philly?Mike Solomonov: Well, in Philly, you can catch me at Zahav. Social media you can catch me on Instagram at Mike Solomonov.Suzy Chase: And your website?Mike Solomonov: At ZahavRestaurant.com.Suzy Chase: I love how you said this cookbook is full of recipes that you can make in your house or apartment with screaming children, in not a lot of time. I cannot thank you enough for coming on Cookery By the Book podcast.Mike Solomonov: Thank you so much for having me, I'm really excited that you have the book.
