What people see when they first see Melanie Dunea is an established photographer, beloved in the food world, who has rubbed shoulders with and created intimate portraits for the likes of Jose Andres, Anthony Bourdain, and Melissa Clark. What they don’t see is a history of nose-to-the-grindstone work dating back to childhood summers with her grandfather, early days of apprenticeship, or the ongoing effort of fighting for herself and her convictions. (Compassion factors in as well, as I discover quickly.)

Photographer-philanthropist Melanie Dunea has produced some of the most iconic images of chefs in America and is always pushing herself into new territory both in images and in work. During the COVID pandemic, she launched Treats Help to bring a moment of joy in the form of sweets to exhausted hospital workers. Her enterprising spirit and relentless drive have helped her cold-call for a range of potential jobs, photo subjects and assignments. On episode 130, Dunea explains what it takes to be a photographer in today's world and shares how having a multi-track mind enriches her personally and professionally. Want to stay up to date on the latest Speaking Broadly episodes?

Melissa is joined in the kitchen by her pal, celebrity photographer Melanie Dunea, for a lesson in making the perfect Simplest Green Salad. Melanie asks the real questions: do you wash the prewashed greens? What’s the best way to mince garlic? What’s the best tool for tossing? Together she and Melissa mix up a “shaky-shake” salad dressing that will last a week in the fridge. This episode makes it easy to get a salad on your table every single night of the week.

They're joining forces for a Saturday night "Art of Dinner" multi-sensory experience, featuring photographs by author and photographer (and event co-host) Melanie Dunea; a special reading with Kevin Young, poetry editor of The New Yorker and director of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture; and much more. Bring your appetites, all of them. But first, we talk to Nick and Melissa about what's on their respective bedside tables, what they're cooking from, and why more anchovies and more poetry is always the answer.
