This week Growing Good takes on a serious subject that affects millions of people of all ages: alcoholism. This disease is a crippling part of many lives and does not only disrupt and degrade the health of the alcoholics but also the people around them who are left to pick up the pieces. But there is hope and there is help in the form of AA and Al-Anon. In this episode host Alessandra Maria-Iavarone is here to tell you about how you or someone you care about can get help through these programs. And remember you can always call 1-888-4AL-ANON for help. This important episode is sponsored by Heritage Foods USA.
"When we let go of the illusion of power over alcohol and other people we move into a more positive, productive and rewarding direction. We move toward hope."
--Alessandra Maria-Iavarone on Growing Good

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]
