On the Farm – A Discussion with Aliza Eliazarov About Heritage Breed Animals and Their Portraits

You can listen to the show on Buzzsprout, ITunes, Spotify, TuneIn, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Pandora and I Heart Radio.

On this week’s Chefs Without Restaurants podcast I have renowned photographer Aliza Eliazarov. On November 17, she has a book coming out called On the Farm: Heritage & Heralded Animal Breeds in Portraits and Stories. The book invites us to take a closer look at the animal breeds taking center stage on sustainable farms and homesteads. It’s equal parts fine art and field guide. 

Passion for documenting issues surrounding food and farming has driven her work, and led to numerous projects, publications, exhibitions, and awards, most notably shooting cover stories for Modern Farmer magazine. 

She has a BS in natural resources management and engineering, a master’s degree in both creative arts in education and elementary education, and is a graduate of the photo journalism and documentary photography program at the International Center of Photography. 

We discuss:

·       her new book

·       her process for photographing farm animals

·       biodiversity and why heritage breeds are important

·       the pros of eating heritage breed animals over commercial breeds

·       animal domestication

Hari Cameron of Grandpa Mac, and Chef Consultant at Arcobaleno – Talking Pasta, the Move to Fast Casual, and Content Creation

You can listen to the show on Buzzsprout, ITunes, Spotify, TuneIn, Stitcher, Pandora and I Heart Radio.

On this week’s podcast I speak with chef Hari Cameron. Hari is the chef consultant at Arcobaleno, as well as the chef partner at Grandpa Mac. I met Hari a few years ago when he was the chef and owner of a(MUSE.) restaurant in Rehoboth, Deleware, a restaurant that he closed on New Year’s Eve 2019.  We discuss the move from fine dining to fast casual, as well as his new position with Arcobaleno. Arcobaleno makes kitchen equipment, and have become known for their pasta extruders. Hari’s extensive use of these extruders is what led to his chef consultant job with them. We also talk about content creation and being a brand ambassador for a company, as well as his spirit collaboration with Dogfish Head.
