Burnt out after 10 years of running her private chef business and ready to move to Malibu to open a restaurant, Jill Donenfeld met Tiana Tenet — and decided to take her business in a totally new direction: Bigger. Melanie talked to them about redefining their business, growing the team, getting important feedback and how they’ve helped one another — and the Culinistas brand— grow in new and unexpected ways. theculinistas.com @theculinistas

Settle in for an extra-delicious week of a A Few Things, why don’t you? We’re picking the brains of Jill Donenfeld and Tiana Tenet, the food-plus-business badasses behind The Culinistas, a New York-based in-home cooking service that connects busy people with private chefs who can stock their fridges, prepare meals for new parents, and even help host a party. Plus, they’re work wives who knew it was right from basically the instant they met. A lot to chew on! P.S. These Xenia Taler Bamboo Dinner Plates and Side Plates also make throwing a shindig a breeze—they’re cute, practically weightless, and 10% off with the code AFEWTHINGS. P.P.S. Jill and Tiana cooked for the launch of Work Wife: The Power of Female Friendship to Drive Successful Businesses—and if you haven’t read it yet, you really should.

The moment that The Culinistas founder Jill Donenfeld was ready to give up, to start over and open a restaurant in Malibu, was the moment that her business was saved. On this episode of Speaking Broadly, listen in as Donenfeld explains how one networking dinner led to a game-changing partnership that reinvigorated her and allowed her to commit whole-heartedly to her business. Before that, Donenfeld got by doing things she loved—offering private chef services to families looking for healthy meals, traveling in India, curing bottarga for chefs, and researching the foods of Madagascar, among others—but never giving 100 percent. Today Donenfeld is focused and confident about the future ahead: ""Having a partner puts a mirror up to you and tells you who you really are.""

This week on Sharp and Hot Emily starts the show by telling us about a camping trip she went on where she had some interesting experiences with wolves, as well as an update on her sourdough starter. After the break Emily and Anne come back for an interview with cookbook author, Jill Donenfeld, for a discussion about her new book Better on Toast. Jill tells us about her previous books and why writing each was a very strange process for her, as well as how she came to the conclusion to write a cookbook with only recipes for food on toast. This program was brought to you by Bonnie Plants. “Its about writing something where there is going to be a wide audience…you might not find a lot of people to put their money behind certain things, but toast, I think we all kinda like that.” [22:00] “I always kind of default to mayo, its like this secret that just always wows people.” [27:00] — Jill Donenfeld on Sharp and Hot
