As we continue this season's mentorship series, this conversation with one of my current mentors was as potent as I had imagined. Carmen Spagnola has been a support, guide, teacher and esteemed colleague for over 12 years, and I have benefitted greatly from her depth of presence, attunement, clarity and nuance. She has spent time with my mares Diva and Raven, and has recently, and excitingly, become the steward of two geldings. Her love and care for horses (and humans) spills forth in this conversation and in her many offerings.  In this conversation, we unpacked the concept of attachment theory, and specifically how secure attachment in any relationship can be facilitated by understanding and prioritizing contact nutrition, essentially nourishing ourselves and others through presence, attunement, co-regulation, safe touch, and empathy. How we interact with our horses, as fellow mammals, and their nervous systems, impacts the quality of our relational experince, and their sense of feeling safe, secure, and soothed. There are so many nuggets of goodness in this hour and it reminded me once again why I am so grateful to have Carmen in my life! Grab a tea, some chocolate, a shedding comb, or a manure fork, and enjoy this sweet chat.  Carmen Spagnola is a Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef turned trauma recovery practitioner, clinical hypnotherapist and kitchen witch. Carmen has taught intuition development and earth-based spirituality to hundreds in her online mystery school, The Numinous School, from 2013 - 2021, as well as retreats and workshops. Carmen's work cross-pollinates themes of attachment, animism, myth and justice, supported by extensive training, certification, supervision and mentorship. Carmen has hosted The Numinous Podcast since 2014. She is author of Spells for the Apocalype: Practical Magic for Turbulent TImes (2025) and The Spirited Kitchen: Recipes & Rituals for the Wheel of the Year (2022).

Today we're joined by arguably the most iconic female chef in the country in the legendary Sally Clarke, who's been the owner and chef patron at Clarke's in Kensington for over 41 years. Sally ironically failed her O level in cookery and yet has gone on to become one of the most successful chef and restaurant owners in the country. Clarke's is a London institution and the restaurant is the favourite of everyone from Mick Jagger to Bono - David Hockney to Paul Smith and all in between. In only her 2nd ever audio interview, Sally reveals how she fell in love with food through the books of Elizabeth David and her travels across France as a child. However it was when she headed to study at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris in the early 70s when she knew that this was going to be her life. Having worked at 3 of the most famous restaurants in the City she came back to London to work alongside Pru Leith at her cookery school, but within a year found herself moving to live in California to work at some of the greatest new age restaurants. It was here she met and fell in love with Alice Waters and Chez Panisse, and was inspired 5 years later in 1983 to return to London and set up Clarke's following in the same farm to table ethos and daily changing set menu as her culinary hero and friend. However, setting up a restaurant as a female head chef and owner wasn't easy in the early 1980s and we hear about; the disastrous problems she encountered, and rude sexist male customers and suppliers she had to deal with. We also hear about her friendship with Lucian Freud who used to eat breakfast and lunch at the restaurant everyday and how she had the privilege of being the last person ever to sit for him. Also, alongside the restaurant Sally runs an incredibly successful commercial bakery that sells over 90,000 handmade Mince Pies each year and beat all her Parisian competition to provide the pastries for the Eurostar. Sally very kindly also shares her secrets to success including; how to create the ultimate menu, the 'Art Of The Table, how to treat your customers and why she never ever gives her customers the bill. ------------------Please leave us a great rating and a comment and share it with your friends - it really helps us grow as a show.If you're in the industry and are looking for the greatest POS system in the world than look no further as Blinq are tearing up the rulebook—no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no per-device charges.

Episode 30: Cara Cunniff - Ex British Army officer & Founder

Mindset Kitchen

Cara Cunniff's journey has always revolved around connection—through food, culture, and the shared human experience. She has lived in cities like Paris, where she indulged her love of cooking with some short course training at Le Cordon Bleu, as well as in Germany, Belgium, and the USA, where she experienced the beauty of diverse traditions and cuisines. Having lived in the diplomatic sphere, she's seen how meals are often more than sustenance—they become opportunities to build relationships, share stories, and forge lasting bonds across cultures and nations. These connections shape perspectives, foster mutual understanding, and, at times, influence decisions that ripple through national interests. Professionally, Cara brings this same ethos of connection to her work in emotional culture and workplace transformation. As a former British Army officer, she had the privilege of working in the inaugural Psychological Operations (PsyOps) unit for the British Army—a role centred on influencing behaviour through 'hearts and minds'. This experience gave her a deep insight into the complexities of human behaviour, the impact of strategic communication, and the power of narratives to inspire action and connection. Today, she applies these lessons when working with organisations to co-create strong workplace emotional cultures. She works with organisations, teams and leaders to kickstart or accelerate strong workplace experiences and emotional cultures which boost performance, strengthen connections and engagement & create thriving workplaces. A little more about Cara: She's moved house 32 times across 4 countries, living in many unique cultures She escaped from Alcatraz—swimming across shark-infested waters She has raced ultra-marathons across the Sahara desert and is an Ironman She has 1 husband, 3 teenagers, 1 dog (and lost her tortoise) She's optimistic & always seeks opportunities & solutions   Cara's 3 mindset messages: Curiosity: The courage to ask, the openness to listen, and the compassion to understand Emotions drive everything we do Growth happens in the quiet moments. Food  Cara suggested to have ingredients of chicken, cheese, tomatoes, root veg. She loves Mediterranean and Ottolenghi and in general she just loves food!  After reading this, my mind straight away raced to form this picture of a perfect meal for Cara, full of flavour, hearty and delicious. It would be all in one pan dish, and I found just the perfect recipe for that.  As you know, I do not create my own recipes, but I often add my own touches if I feel like it needs something different or additional.  I cooked Chicken breasts with mozzarella and tomatoes, served alongside crispy bread, pasta and refershing salad with balsamic vinegar pearls.   Please visit www.mindsetkitchen.co.uk for more details!

In this episode, we dive into the real talk about going dairy-free—why it's a game-changer for your health, how it transformed Chef Bai's journey with endometriosis, and the powerful impact it can have on your well-being. As we chat, we unpack the health implications of dairy consumption, from its links to breast cancer, liver cancer, and autoimmune diseases to the surprising fact that 68% of the population is lactose intolerant. It really makes you think—why are we still so dependent on it? Chef Bai shares practical tips for making the transition seamless, with smart swaps for your everyday meals and the benefits of choosing organic alternatives. Plus, she's got some incredible plant-based recipes up her sleeve (yes, even vegan mozzarella!) that prove dairy-free doesn't mean flavour-free. Her passion for demystifying plant-based nutrition shines through, offering simple, mindful ways to shift your diet without feeling overwhelmed. If you've been curious about healthier living or considering a plant-forward lifestyle, this episode's packed with insights to inspire and empower you. Let's get into it! Key Takeaways: Embracing a Dairy-Free Lifestyle: Understanding the harmful effects of dairy on health and the environment, and exploring alternatives for better well-being. Health Advocacy: The importance of self-advocacy in health, informed choices, and seeking genuine information amidst the noise dominated by big food and pharma. Recipe Inspirations: Discover delicious dairy-free recipes like dairy-free cheese, plant-based milk, and everyday substitutes that promote a healthier lifestyle. Social Challenges: Navigating social settings and maintaining dietary choices with confidence and self-compassion. Gradual Transition: Encouragement to start small, replacing daily dairy products with nutritious plant-based options to gradually transform one's diet. More About Chef Bai: Bailey Ruskus, also known as Chef Bai, is a seasoned chef, activist, and holistic nutrition consultant with nearly one million followers across social media. A Le Cordon Bleu graduate, she's spent the past fourteen years crafting rich, nourishing flavours in kitchens around the world. Her plant-based journey began as a personal mission to heal chronic pain from a sixteen-year battle with endometriosis—after exhausting every other option. Bailey holds certifications in plant-based nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and is a certified health coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Alongside her husband, Steve, she runs a thriving business, hosting pop-up dinners, educating global audiences through social media, consulting for sustainable restaurant practices, and developing recipes for her blog, brands, and publications.

Her work is an invitation to re-enchantment, soul nourishment, and a deeper and more animistic relationship to the natural world. She provides frameworks and skills to create cultures of collective care in precarious times.Carmen is a big proponent of “Collapse Awareness”, particularly living a deeply satisfying life in the face of chaotic times. An overarching question we dive into in this episode is exploring whether there is a tension between being “collapsitarian” perspectives and the work of weaving change within existing systems, and the place for hope or vision within that.We also dive into what it is like for both her and I to be living right now, where we are situated and what we are grappling with right now. This includes some discussion on how to draw on Carmen's brand new book Spells for the Apocalypse: Practical Magic for Turbulent Times. She describes this book as a trauma-informed witchcraft book that is gift book sized, which can feel like holding hands with someone who is in sync with what is happening in the collective. Carmen requested that we release this episode on Feb 10 at 3:13pm, which is the lunar return of the book's publication date – so like a mini month-long birthday cycle! A few links to things we discuss during this episode:Collapse in a Nutshell - Podcast episode summarizing collapse topics: https://open.spotify.com/episode/27Strj0h1T5WK19XAVAmit?si=ecb124efd98941c7 Practicing new worlds, a book Carmen includes in her book club: https://www.akpress.org/practicing-new-worlds-ebook.html An article discussing the three key types of activism (along with this author's proposal for a rebalancing of the different types: https://medium.com/world-summit/imbalanced-spheres-of-activism-and-the-great-turning-that-needs-to-get-turning-50316017d575

Welcome to Episode 27 of the HECHO Podcast, the podcast about what's now, and what's next in Corpus Christi and the Costal Bend. I'm your host Rob George, and our guest is Jeannette Del Angel, and if you ordered from Sucre during Covid (or since), or eaten at Central Kitchen, you've likely experienced her magic in the oven. Jeannette is a Corpus raised, Le Cordon Bleu trained, deeply experienced chef. Her primary expertise is pastry, and she created the menu for Central Kitchen. She is now starting her own adventure, Fika, an experience where one can relax with a pastry and espresso. “Fika” is a Swedish term that describes taking a break with friends, old and new. On this episode, we discuss Jeannette's journey away from and back to Corpus Christi with anecdotes from impressive stops along the way. We learn about how she impressed her French professor at UT with macaroons crafted in her dorm's basement kitchen, her delight in being called “chef” by her mentor at Southerleigh, and her passion for building a business around her family. Jeannette and Fika offer a unique vibe to the Coastal Bend—a Swedish twist on relaxing with friends. Please follow Fika on Instagram at @fika_microbakery and be sure to seize a moment for your own Fika at Jeannette's bakery on Alameda between the Quad Fitness Studio and Lavender & Lee.    If you want more of what's now, and what's next, in business and entertainment in Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend, subscribe to the HECHO newsletter at hecho.cc and follow us @hechocorpus on Instagram.    Thank you Jeannette for coming on the show.

Both raised in the San Gabriel Valley, Jessica graduated from Alhambra High School, continued her education at Pasadena City College, and earned her bachelor's degree in Business Management from the University of Phoenix. Michael, a graduate of Monrovia High School, attended Citrus College before pursuing his culinary dreams at Le Cordon Bleu in Pasadena.  The couple met in 2000 while working at Wells Fargo Bank, where their shared ambitions and dedication brought them together. They married in 2007 and began building a life that balanced corporate careers and family. Jessica climbed the ranks to become a branch manager, while Michael transitioned to culinary school and later worked for Sysco Foods.  In 2009, they embarked on a new chapter, welcoming their first child in 2010. Over the next five years, they grew their family to include four boys, including a set of twins. Juggling the demands of corporate life and raising four children under eight, Jessica and Michael realized they needed a bold change to create the life they envisioned.  In 2018, they took a leap of faith, quitting their corporate jobs, selling their home, and investing everything into launching their business, West Coast Cheesesteaks. Their dedication and risk paid off, as the restaurant quickly gained recognition, earning accolades such as being named one of Yelp's Top 50 Restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley twice, as well as one of Yelp's Top 100 Restaurants in Los Angeles County. The business has also been featured on prominent platforms like LA Eater, CBS Channel 2, KTLA 5, FOX 11, and ABC Channel 7.  West Coast Cheesesteaks represents more than just a business for Jessica and Michael; it is a manifestation of their passion for quality food, excellent service, and community. Their slogan, “Quality + Service = Excellence,” embodies their commitment to every aspect of their work. They view their employees as family and are passionate about mentoring them, teaching them the skills needed to run a successful business and navigate life's challenges.  Jessica and Michael believe that the growth of their employees directly impacts the growth of their business. This philosophy, coupled with their dedication to serving their community, staff, and customers, continues to drive the success of West Coast Cheesesteaks.  Through their inspiring journey, Jessica and Michael have created a thriving business while staying true to their values, proving that with courage, hard work, and a vision, anything is possible.___________________Music CreditsIntroEuphoria in the San Gabriel Valley, Yone OGStingerScarlet Fire (Sting), Otis McDonald, YouTube Audio LibraryOutroEuphoria in the San Gabriel Valley, Yone OG__________________My SGV Podcast:Website: www.mysgv.netNewsletter: Beyond the MicPatreon: MySGV Podcastinfo@sgvmasterkey.com

It's New Orleans: Louisiana Eats

The life of a chef is often regarded as glamorous and exciting, but in reality, it's a hard life – exemplified by long hours and frequent financial challenges. For many, it's the only life imaginable. Nathanial Zimet, the ambitious chef behind Boucherie and Bourrée in New Orleans, falls directly into that category. Drawn to the restaurant business at the age of 15, the North Carolina native soon learned it was the only career for him. On this week's show, we sit down with Nathanial to explore what led him from London's Le Cordon Bleu to his purple food truck in New Orleans, where his culinary life here began. From Hurricane Katrina to a near-fatal shooting in 2011 – the indomitable Nathaniel has risen to the top, again and again. So has Drew Ramsey, whose family has run Hubig's, makers of New Orleans' favorite hand pies, for three generations. After a fire destroyed their factory in 2012, a return seemed improbable. But like a fried Phoenix rising from the ashes, Hubig's is back in business after a 10-year hiatus. Drew tells us his tale of tragedy to triumph.

He also shares his shakshuka recipe, which you can find at JewishJournal.com/podcasts.   Learn more at LodgeBread.com and follow @LodgeBreadCo on Instagram. Lodge Bread has locations in Culver City and Woodland Hills; the Pico bakery and cafe closes November 17.

Losing your mind with Chris Cosentino

Cindy Pawlcyn, a pioneer in the development of wine country cuisine, is the owner of Napa Valley's legendary restaurant Mustards Grill. Since Mustards opened in 1983, Pawlcyn has been involved in the creation of many heralded restaurants in the greater San Francisco Bay Area including Fog City Diner, Bix, Roti, Betelnut, Buckeye Roadhouse, Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen, Go Fish, Cindy's Waterfront at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Mustards Grill-SFO.   Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Pawlcyn grew up in an accomplished culinary family where garden fresh ingredients were an integral part of every meal and suppertime was always family time. “My parents raised me to appreciate good cooking,” she fondly says of her mother and father.  At 13, Pawlcyn was working at a local cooking school and equipment store and helping in her mother's kitchen. She ran a catering business through high school, and went on to earn a degree in hotel and restaurant management from the University of Wisconsin-Stout. She further augmented her formal training by taking courses at Le Cordon Bleu and La Varenne in Paris.  Pawlcyn began her career in the kitchen of the Pump Room in Chicago. She went on to cook in various other esteemed restaurants in both Chicago and Minneapolis before moving to California in 1979 to take a job at McArthur Park in San Francisco. In her first experience in a Northern California kitchen, Pawlcyn gained valuable insights into the region's unique food culture.  Pawlcyn entered Napa Valley's burgeoning restaurant culture as the opening chef at Meadowood in St. Helena and from there joined Bruce LeFavour at his acclaimed Rose et LeFavour. Armed with extensive kitchen leadership and regional culinary expertise, she successfully launched Mustards Grill in 1983, her now landmark and legendary restaurant.  With over 40 years of experience working and living in the Napa Valley, Pawlycn remains intimately involved in the kitchen operations of Mustards Grill, which features its own culinary garden that supplements the locally sourced produce used in many of her dishes. Pawlcyn's commitment to seasonal inspiration and the use of the region's bountiful harvests continue to play a major role in the food coming out of her kitchen. “My father had a green thumb and he taught me a lot about growing produce and instilled a love for fresh flavors,” she says. “Everywhere I have lived, I have had a garden, whether it was a window box of herbs when I lived in Chicago or the large garden at my house. I feel it's important for freshness and flavor and it brings people closer to their food.”

Chef John Pannell stops by the Smoke Ring Syndicate for this weeks podcast episode. I've been patiently awaiting our schedules to align since our cook together for comedian Burt Kreischer's tour with leading men and women of comedy. Even adding Jelly Roll to the list of recipients of the food. This week we dove into his early years peeling potatoes as a “sous chef” to his mother, and assisting his dad on the grill. John found his personal passion early in life with food. Working his way through restaurants eventually under a great French chef who encouraged him to take the next step into becoming a chef. Fresh out of Le Cordon Bleu he worked in nearly every world cuisine's kitchens. Eventually landing back in Ga & with his business partner in tow they created a restaurant that captured the attention of local entrepreneur and fan of a great Philly cheese steak, Ray Carnes. Ray co-owns Recteq grills and frequently enjoyed Chef John's creations. Even requesting to meet the chef to praise his work in food as a foodie himself. When the grill company announced they were looking for personality for their social media Chef John threw his hat in the ring. Unbeknown I him they had history in John's restaurant, so Ray knew having that steak sandwich sculptor on staff was a great idea. Beginning as a part time endeavor Ray soon realized it wise to have such a majestic show pony for the grill company and captured Chef John. Building recipes around the grills, on air personality, cooking for celebrities, news casts and even movie sets and shows Chef John grew. His personal brand as well as the grill company's chef de cuisine personality stroll hand in hand as the same food expert person. Authenticity is huge in Food based social media and his work on both his personal and Recteq content is seamless in the content space, allowing Chef/Pitmaster John to grow both. An important aspect if you're going to be saddled with a branded saddle, you need to be the brand, or good with being the brands idea, or be with a company that allows you to be you on all fronts. Which lucky for Chef is option 3 with Recteq. Fresh off a TV program cook, gearing up for out of state cooking for the likes of Warren Sapp maybe even Coach Prime out in Colorado this fall. Chef John is living a dream many in the content creation world have aspirations for with the high caliber team in the folks at Recteq. Videography sound folks, marketing professionals and so much more for bouncing ideas tasting recipes and generally pushing the love of bbq to the world, what it's all about. We could definitely do another hour or more but you just pulled up to your destination and it's time to go to work.

In this episode of the Defiant Health podcast, I interview life coach, Molly Zemek. Molly comes from the unique background of having worked as a Le Cordon Bleu formally-trained French chef for 10 years. She is also a certified sommelier. But, with this intensive background in food and wine, she found herself falling victim to uncontrolled eating and drinking impulses. She then turned her attention to gaining control over her eating and drinking impulses and now, as a life coach, helps others deal with their temptations and impulses. She does so through her new book “Decoding Your Emotional Appetite: A Food Lover's Guide to Weight Loss” and her podcast “Weight Loss for Food Lovers” where she brings the lessons learned from her own journey and that of her coaching clients. We also dive into the complexities of managing alcohol consumption, especially from the perspective of a trained sommelier. Molly shares her insights on mindful drinking, including techniques like keeping a diary of alcohol intake and planning intentional choices. Discover how to appreciate the art of wine and food pairing without excess and find new ways to relax and connect without relying on alcohol. Molly's unique blend of culinary expertise and life coaching offers a holistic approach to achieving balance and healthy living.
