Hey ladies! On today’s episode of The Food Seen, Michael Harlan Turkell is joined by food writer Charlotte Druckman, author of Skirt Steak: Women Chefs on Standing the Heat and Staying in the Kitchen. In a book, full of interviews and POVs, Charlotte looks to survey an industry once dominated by her gender counterparts. Has the perception of these roles changed, or just come to heel? Ponder that and more on an insightful and gender themed episode of The Food Seen. This program was sponsored by Rolling Press.
"I wanted to approach the topic [of women chefs] in a different way. It tends to get the same treatment every time and it's kind of like banging your head against the wall. It's time to stop looking at it as a biological argument. Everybody cooks differently - that's what makes food interesting!" [03:06]
"It's an incredibly complicated time to be a professional cook in any sense. It's gone from being a micro craft to a lifestyle concept." [04:48]
"People tend to assume when women say that they're chefs that they're home cooks. On the other hand, women in that industry often feel uncomfortable taking the title 'chef' because they associate it with something chauvinistic or old fashioned." [10:23]

"Kids don't even remember the fruit anymore. We don't even see the fruit anymore! How about we just get a juicer and some apples and have kids chop them up and throw them in the juicer and make it a fun game?" -- Africa Engo on Growing Good

On this episode of Growing Good, Alessandra Iavarone is joined in the studio by Eva Radke of Film Biz Recycling. Film Biz Recycling is a non-profit organization that reuses and distributes film props and equipment, keeping tons of waste out of our landfill every year. Tune in to hear about how Eva started the company after working on film sets for years, Film Biz Recycling's involvement in charities, and starting a business while raising a child. Learn more about Eva's space, and the place she envisions for it in the community. This episode has been brought to you by Whole Foods.
"That's how it got started- community and communication. You're not alone even if in your house it's just you and your kid. There's a parallel working on a film because it's a microcosm... Why are we not talking to one another?"
"It's important that this industry waste is a platform for creativity and emerging artists." -- Eva Radke on Growing Good
