Before we get going, I wanted to let everyone know that I recently launched a Patreon, so you can help support the show, and the Chefs Without Restaurants organization. You can find the link in the show notes, or at patreon.com/chefswithoutrestaurants. I think there are some great rewards, with more to come. If you have a minute, check out the video that I uploaded to the site. And I really want to thank my first two supporters, chefs Justin Khanna and Matt Collins. Justin recoded an episode with me a few months ago, which I broke into two episodes, and I should be releasing my episode with Matt next month. Thanks for the support.
On this week’s show, I speak with Lisa Donovan. She’s a pastry chef and James Beard award winning writer. She’s helmed the pastry kitchens of some of the most important restaurants in the country, including Husk in Nashville, and has kept her whole life afloat by making, writing on and thinking about food – including consulting, recipe development, selling pies out of the trunk of her car and creating the now retired Buttermilk Road Sunday Suppers
While Lisa is a pastry chef, this isn’t really a discussion about kitchens, though we do touch on that. She writes full time now, and her first book, Our Lady of Perpetual Hunger was released in August, 2020. Most of our discussion revolves around the process of, and decision to write her memoir, and everything that came along with it. We discuss the current state of the restaurant industry, getting comfortable with your audience even when it’s not who you expected it to be, and I get to talk to her about chess pie.
