Description

When a mother is gone, her recipes often become the most beautiful way we remember her love. In this heartfelt episode, we celebrate the brand-new cookbook My Greek Mom’s Recipes: She Died. I Wrote This Cookbook by comedian and food storyteller Gus Constantellis. Gus shares how cooking his late mother Julia’s village-style Greek dishes helped him heal and honor her memory. Through laughter and tender reflection, he shows us how food nourishes the body, calms the mind, and lifts the spirit long after the cook has left the kitchen.

From Beard’s Table to Ours: Bridging Fine Dining and Home Cooking! James Beard Honorary Dinner at Charlie Trotter's in Chicago

Our journey begins at the unforgettable James Beard Honorary Dinner as part of Charlie Trotter’s Guest Chef Series. We were treated to an extraordinary multi-course tasting menu featuring stunning creations from talented chefs including Freddy Money, Trevor Teich, Carolyn Nugent, Alen Ramos, and David Breeden. Yet Beard’s legacy isn’t only about high style fine dining. At heart, he championed honest, ingredient-driven cooking that brings people together. In that spirit, we’ve been experimenting at home with several of his timeless recipes, adapting them for today’s kitchens while preserving their soul.
