Welcome to Season 2 of Leadership Recipes! Ben Voyer's story begins in Paris, where his grandfather's fillet mignon with caramelised potatoes and onions became the defining dish of his childhood. It was simple, balanced and prepared with care. Qualities that stayed with him as he grew up, moved abroad and built a career studying how people think, lead and work together. Now a professor of behavioural science, Ben divides his time between London and Wellington teaching the next generation of leaders. His chosen dish becomes a lens for exploring tradition, memory and the subtle balance that good leadership requires. In our conversation, we look at how Gen Z differs from millennials, and how collective leadership emerges when people understand each other's constraints. He also reflects on how he believes experienced leaders should adapt to new generations in the workforce. In part two, Valentine and I break down the origins of the dish and show you how to make it with minimal stress and maximum flavour. Bon Appétit! “Creativity comes from constraints in cooking and leadership.” – Ben Voyer Episode resources: ESCP Business School – https://escp.eu Pierre Gagnaire Restaurants – https://pierre-gagnaire.com Find out more about Ben: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/benvoyer/ Ben's Website - https://www.benvoyer.com/ Listen to Ben's Podcast We All Make Mistakes - https://open.spotify.com/show/2yu9pBb8rXqrOYL8WAwj8W Contact François: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/francoismoscovici/ Valentine's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valentine-moscovici/ François' Instagram food feed: @moscoffier

A yawn spreads quickly. You see someone yawn, you think about yawning, or you even read the word “yawn”—and suddenly you're doing it too. This episode begins by looking at why yawning is so contagious, what theories actually hold up, and what science still can't explain. https://www.livescience.com/human-behavior/why-is-yawning-contagious A Christmas tree seems like such a natural part of the holiday season, but the tradition behind it is rich, surprising, and deeply woven into American history. Why an evergreen? Where did the practice originate? How do they select the giant tree for Rockefeller Center every year? Here to explain the story and the symbolism behind the Christmas tree is Trent Preszler, professor of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University and author of the book Evergreen: The Trees That Shaped America. (https://amzn.to/43NUVSj). Dining out today is nothing like it was just a few years ago. Prices are higher, tipping culture has shifted, customer expectations are changing, and restaurants face tighter margins than ever. Adam Reiner joins me with a behind-the-scenes look at what's really happening in the industry and offers practical advice for getting the best experience when you eat out. Adam is a food writer whose work has appeared in Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, and New York Magazine, and he's author of The New Rules of Dining Out (https://amzn.to/3Xhg0kf). You would think eating food should satisfy you—yet some foods do the opposite. Highly processed foods digest so quickly and trigger such different responses in your body that they can actually leave you hungrier. I explain what the science shows and why these foods can lead to overeating. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/eating-highly-processed-foods-linked-weight-gain PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

This month on the Deerfield Public Library Podcast, we are very happy to welcome writer and artist Annah Feinberg to talk about her hilarious and moving debut full-length graphic novel, Goodbye, Dolly! Narrated from beyond the grave by Dolly, the famous cloned sheep born in 1996, Goodbye, Dolly! tells the story of her six disaffected children (or as Annah calls them, "nepo lambs") as they search the Scottish countryside for their identity after their mother's death. Annah Feinberg has written many comics and humor pieces for publications like The New Yorker, McSweeney's, Bon Appétit, and Awry, which often skewer the indignities of life ("The Utter Humiliation of Being a Body") and a Millennial combination of high self-regard and economic precarity ("Millennials Are the First Generation in History to Inspire Think Pieces About Millennials"). We discuss how these themes also shine through the very anxious sheep of Goodbye, Dolly! You'll also hear how Feinberg's unique art style, which features stock image backgrounds, brilliantly inhabits the exhausted detritus of our culture. Feinberg also grew up here in Deerfield, and we are thrilled we get to celebrate her work as her hometown library! Listen for a fun—and funny—conversation about existential crises through the perhaps unlikely characters of cartoon sheep. Annah Feinberg writes and draws, often at the very same time. Her previous comics and humor writing have been featured in The New Yorker, McSweeney's, Bon Appétit, Awry, Mutha Magazine, The Hairpin, the collection Notes from the Bathroom Line, and in her zines The Shapelies, Food Source, and Me Myselves And. Annah has developed adult animated shows for Showtime and AMC, wrote and produced short films Fetus Monster and The Workplace, and is currently developing another adult animated show, writing two live-action features and working on another graphic novel. Formerly a playwright, dramaturg, and Hollywood assistant, Annah has an MFA in Dramaturgy from Columbia University and was a founding member of theater activist group The Kilroys. Before that, she was a child who wrote and drew, often at the very same time. You can check out Goodbye, Dolly! and other titles by Annah Feinberg here in our Podcast Collection, featuring books and other materials by past guests of the show. Find out more about Annah at her website or on her Instagram @annahfeinberg. We hope you enjoy our 69th interview episode! Each month (or so), we release an episode featuring a conversation with an author, artist, or other notable guests from Chicagoland or around the world. Learn more about the podcast on our podcast page. You can listen to all of our episodes in the player below or on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen to podcasts.

Episode 002 of Bon Appétit Radio reflects the kind of dancefloor I love building: warm, rhythmic, and rooted in global house influences, but pushing steadily into tougher, late-night territory. I wanted the journey to feel intentional—from Afro-house grooves and funky swing, into hypnotic melodic tension, and finally into raw, peak-time power before landing in an after-hours glow.

Welcome back to The Go-To Food Podcast, where we're joined by Alison Roman — chef, writer, and creator of some of the most talked-about recipes of the last decade. Alison takes us back to her first kitchen job at Sona in Los Angeles, working under David Myers for $7.25 an hour, crying daily but learning fast. It was a tiny, nine-person kitchen that ran like The Bear, long before The Bear existed. From there she went to Milk Bar in New York, then the Bon Appétit test kitchen — reverse-engineering photo-shoot dishes into recipes home cooks could actually make. The early days were brutal, pre-Instagram, and anonymous. No bylines, no fame, just biscuits, burnouts, and a deep sense that if you showed up more than anyone else, something would happen.In London, Alison's been eating with purpose — Café Deco's anchovy-studded little gem, a quiche that insists it's a frittata, and a beef stew she calls one of the best she's ever had. She weighs The Devonshire against The Pelican and The Hart. There's a fascination with pub culture, a debate over sharpened pencils at hotel reception, and a reminder that the best meals aren't always on “the list.” We get her take on TikTok chefs, the chaos of phones in kitchens, and an unnerving AI ad that generates recipe ideas without authors — proof, she says, that food without humanity just doesn't taste the same.We talk legacy too. From Dining In to Nothing Fancy to Sweet Enough, Alison's cookbooks built a blueprint for the way people cook now — easy, intuitive, quietly confident. She admits the dessert book nearly broke her, but Something for Nothing came easily because it mirrors how she actually cooks. There's a new tomato sauce line born from her husband's refusal to cook, a love letter to anchovies, and an argument for doing one thing well instead of a thousand badly. We end with her perfect menu: shrimp cocktail, Caesar salad, ribeye in brown butter and lemon, and a slice of key lime pie — the ultimate Alison Roman meal, simple, specific, and unapologetically human.------Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by Blinq—POS made simple: £69/month, unlimited devices, 24/7 UK support, no contracts or hidden fees.

Send us a textOn this episode of The Whet Palette Podcast, host Brenda Popritkin sits down with David Whitaker, President and CEO of the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, to discuss Miami's ever-evolving culinary identity.The last time Whitaker joined the show, Miami had just been named Bon Appétit's Food City of the Year and was taking its first steps into the Michelin Guide Florida partnership. Fast-forward to today, and the Magic City's restaurant scene has exploded—claiming James Beard Award wins, Michelin Keys, and countless national headlines celebrating its chefs and culture. This time, Travel + Leisure reported on the WalletHub report that officially named Miami the "#1 Food City in North America" in September 2025.Michelin, Miami, and Managing SuccessWhitaker credits Miami's success to both innovation and community resilience.“Once you get to the top, managing success is much harder than building to success,” he notes. “But what a privilege it is to maintain our position as one of the world's top dining destinations.”He highlights how Michelin's arrival didn't just reward 17 or so restaurants, it lifted all of Miami's culinary landscape. From Wynwood to Coconut Grove and Downtown Doral, fine dining has become a lifestyle, not a luxury.Beyond the Stars: Miami Spice and Local SupportPrograms like Miami Spice, which celebrates its 25th anniversary next year, continue to help both diners and restaurateurs thrive. In 2024 alone, a record 387 restaurants participated, generating more than seven million visits to the GMCVB's landing page.“Food is synonymous with lifestyle,” says Whitaker. “It's incumbent on all of us to continue to support our chefs. We can't take them for granted.”The Road Ahead: 2026 and BeyondWhitaker also teases a massive upcoming year for Miami:FIFA World Cup 2026 (nine matches hosted locally)College Football National ChampionshipNHL Winter ClassicFormula One and Miami Open returningAnd through it all, food will remain at the center of the city's global brand.“Miami is where you go if you want to make it big as a chef,” Whitaker adds.The TakeawayFrom Michelin stars to farm-to-table innovation, Miami's dining scene continues to evolve with creativity, resilience, and heart.

The cook and food writer Alison Roman frequently emanates and celebrates a certain spilled-milk imperfectionism. Her on-camera candor and laid-back cooking style have both contributed to growing her devoted audience of home cooks as well as the food-curious, many of whom have followed her and her singular recipes over the past decade-plus, from her prior media roles (Bon Appétit and The New York Times) to the independent-platform path she's now on. That's not to mention her three best-selling cookbooks, Dining In (2017), Nothing Fancy (2019), and Sweet Enough (2023), as well as her forthcoming fourth title, Something from Nothing, out Nov. 11. For Roman, there's joy and wisdom to be found in embracing a certain amount of honest-to-goodness mess, all while maturing into different versions of herself, in and out of the kitchen.On the episode, she reflects on the diaristic quality of her dishes, how time and money have shaped her cooking style and recipe-writing approach throughout her life, and the beauty of prioritizing tangible things in our ephemeral digital age.Special thanks to our Season 12 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Alison Roman[4:49] Something From Nothing (2025)[5:52] Dining In (2017)[5:52] Sweet Enough (2023)[10:38] Nothing Fancy (2019)[16:06] First Bloom[22:03] The Tenth Muse by Judith Jones (2007)[22:03] Home Cooking by Laurie Colwin (1988)[22:03] Books by Anthony Bourdain[22:03] Blood, Bones & Butter by Gabrielle Hamilton (2011)[32:00] Chris Bernabeo[47:46] Solley's[56:24] Christina Tosi[57:22] Bon Appétit
