I’ve interviewed many amazing people on the #EatMyGlobe podcast but I don’t think they’d argue with me saying that talking with legendary Chef Jacques Pépin was one of the greatest honors of my culinary career so far. Don’t miss this episode #FoodHistory

It is two years since the passing of #AnthonyBourdain . We have lots of terrific food TV presenters, but there will never be another Tony. His impact remains indelible. I have yet to be able to watch his shows again, as I am so sad and angry at how he left us. Maybe I never will.

I tried to watch the Bourdain documentary today, and I couldn’t. It’s not just residual sadness at his absence, but also lingering anger that he left us with so much still to give. That’s bizarre, I know. But, I may never be able to watch any show with him again.
