I met Chef Maddy a few years back when she was just getting started on Insta - and I was blown awayyyy by her creativity, passion for flavour, and (quite honestly) she has the BIGGEST heart when it comes to sharing food and making a real difference in the community.
I was so excited to chat with her about her experiences as a woman in the restaurant industry, her “entry” to the culinary world, and what she loves most about sharing her food with others.
She has some pretty incredible stories - and I’d love for you to have a listen. Thank you so much to Chef Maddy for joining me & chatting all-things-food!

Ahhhhh - folks... I just chatted with CHEF WALLACE - though, you probably know him best as SixPackChef (@w2sixpackchef) on TikTok and Instagram.
In this conversation, we dive deeper into the food stories, memories, and experiences that have shaped Wallace into the chef he is today.
From chopping ginger with his grandparents to working in some of the most esteemed restaurants in Toronto to inspiring generations upon generations to "eat good, look good, and live great" - this guy is truly incredible.
His passion for food is crystal-clear in all that he does - so, if you haven't done so already, check him out (and connect with him!) via socials...

As a woman in the culinary world, I have always looked up to other strong women in the industry - Chef Erica being one of them, hands down. She has such a strong passion for food, for unique flavours, for “tasting the globe”, and for sharing her love through food.
In this podcast, we really dive deeper into her experiences with food across the globe, her cultural background (part Polish, part Moroccan, part Israeli), and some of the wild flavour combinations she’s created for guests. Thank you SO much to Chef Erica for joining me and sharing your incredible food story <3

Hi! I'm Kenzie
One thing you should know about me - I am an open book. And, seeing as we're going to get to know each other pretty well through the course of my podcast, I might as well jump right into the"knitty-gritty"
Growing up as a young girl in the era of Instagram, Social media, "Twiggy", and ultra-thin models - I spent over a decade fearing food and feeling insecure in my body. Eventuall (and probably inevitably), I developed a severe eating disorder - one that nearly took my life.
I spent years of stressing over calories, tossing out meals because they were filled with "bad foods", and avoiding food-centric events because I was scared I would "lose control" over sweets, pastries, and other "forbidden" foods.
And for what? To have a flat stomach? To have a magazine-approved "beach body"?
Restricting food restricted my life. Period.
If there's one thing I've learned as a Natural Nutrition Clinical Practitioner and Culinary Graduate - food is not just nourishment for the body… It's not just about the nutrition label, the macros, and the vitamins.
Food is so much more - it's nourishment for the mind, body, and soul. Cooking with whole foods and creating a meal from scratch has so much to offer - social experiences, memories, mental health, creative expression, celebration, laughter, and the ability to connect & share your love with others - without using language (and, that my friends.... is a pretty powerful thing).
Yes, nutrition is important. And, perhaps equally as important is the relationship we have with food.
In this podcast, I speak with chefs, foodies, food journalists, and home cooks from across the world to dive deeper into the true meaning of food - the experiences, the flavours, the memories, the laughter, and the LOVE that comes from cooking and sharing a fresh made meal.
I hope you enjoy this journey with me - and together, we can foster building a relationship with food that is empowering, freeing, and nourishing for our mind, body, and soul <3
