Coffee with Scoolinary – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this episode of the Scoolinary podcast, we have a rich black coffee made from Brazilian beans with Manu Buffara, chef, activist, and restaurateur of her namesake Manu in Curitiba, Brazil. On the eve of the 5th annual Alimenta Curitiba (Feed Curitiba), which she founded through her Instituto Manu, she took the time to explain the responsibility that comes with celebrity status. She deserves all the fame she’s earned as a pioneering chef, and she credits her heritage as well as her native Brazil as influences. An award-winning entrepreneur, she tells us what chefs need to do with the dishes they create, and she explains in detail how Brazil is so much more than churrasco and feijoada.

In this episode of the Scoolinary podcast, we have a pour-over coffee made from freshly-ground beans with Xueci (or Shu-tsa, as she’s known to her friends) Cheng. She is the lightning bolt creator who has sparked an interest in Sichuan cooking with her social media and newsletter project, Chill Crisp. A former editor at one of Germany’s biggest cooking platforms, she’s zeroed in on opportunities in the food sector and has mastered a winning formula for engaging an audience. She also reveals what people are curious about with respect to Sichuan food (and Chinese food in general), and tells us what she’d most like people to know about Sichuan cuisine.

In this episode of the Scoolinary podcast, we get curious about “billy coffee” from Shaun Hergatt’s native Australia. He shares the story of his enviable upbringing in Mossman, on the northeast coast of Queensland, which had all the ingredients (quite literally) for him to become a world-renowned chef. Hunting, fishing, and gardening were all part of his childhood, but it’s what he has to say about his grandmother that hints at the many Michelin stars to come. You’ll be surprised to learn that he’s not the most talented chef, according to him, but he will tell you how he’s managed to start — and maintain — several highly successful restaurants around the U.S. You might be fooled into thinking that others saw something in him that he didn’t see in himself but that’s only because he lacks this one thing that’s often associated with chefs in his stratosphere. See if you can tell what that is.

In this episode of the Scoolinary podcast, we abstain from coffee in solidarity with Sammy Monsour, who is at the tail end of a metabolism reset diet. A chef who’s deeply rooted and intimately connected to authentic Southern food, Sammy lifts the lid on one of the South’s most well-known dishes and explains the story behind his dish of the same name. He also reveals why shooting for a Michelin star comes at a cost to authenticity. He opened his first restaurant in Boston (Massachusetts, U.S.) and it’s there where a certain discerning class of diners paid him the highest compliment just by showing up – try to guess who they were. His skill in the kitchen lifted him to new heights but it’s what he chose to focus his energies on next that’s kept him engaged and dedicated to his craft. You will be inspired.

Chef, cookbook author, food activist, and TV personality, Sammy leads without leading. Discover how he does that in this podcast.

In this episode of the Scoolinary podcast, we toss back a double espresso with Laura Meyer, entrepreneur and three-time world pizza champion whose skill for combining techniques and flavor is nothing short of pizza mastery. She reveals what not to do in competition and tells how an unexpected situation led to victory. She describes her award-winning pizza, which she’s included in her Scoolinary course, American-style Pizza, and she leaves no questions as to the difference between pan pizza and deep-dish pizza. She also names the reasons why pizza-making has undergone such a dramatic change in recent years, why there's still bad pizza out there, and which type of pizza is hardest to make at home.

If you aspire to make award-winning pizza on your own, you’ll definitely want to hear what Laura has to say.

In this episode of the Scoolinary podcast, we sip a smooth black coffee tempered with a piece of ice with Jiho Kim, a self-taught pastry chef and entrepreneur who scored a Michelin star for his inventive riffs on familiar Korean dishes. When he felt that he could learn no more from pastry after making one too many crème brûlées and molten chocolate cakes, he went hunting for his next challenge, which ran headfirst into the COVID pandemic. Whereas others faced challenges, Jiho found huge opportunities that took his career in a new direction. Or maybe it'd more accurate to say that he created opportunities through his fearless embrace of new experiences, his confident ability to blend ingredients, and his finely tuned skills for working with hydrocolloids. You be the judge, but also listen to what Jiho has to say about tipping, how to stay competitive in the restaurant business, and what pastry skills are necessary for the professional chef. Plus, you'll never believe what else he fits into his 16-hour workday.

Jiho Kim is a rare chef in New York City's dining scene, as you will find out. Maybe he wouldn't describe himself that way but in this instance, actions truly are louder than words.

Today in this episode of the Scoolinary podcast, we have a hot coffee with Branden Lewis, chef and faculty member at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, R.I. (USA). Branden helped spearhead the development of the Sustainable Food Sytems major and Culinary Sustainability minor, which is the first program of its kind to focus on the culinary and pastry arts, in addition to agriculture, conservation, and health and nutrition. What Branden is teaching is an education of a different kind. He explains a little bit about what his students learn that helps position them as leaders in various sectors of the food universe. He tells us what the single, biggest challenge is to a more sustainable food system, and reveals who are the agents of change working toward solutions. For one of this classes, he takes his students to study abroad in a country whose citizens have a strong eco-literacy and stewardship mentality. You'll have to listen to the podcast to find out where that is.

"Influencer" seems too boring a word to describe someone whose impact gets regenerated with each new class he teaches. If "the hardest thing to open is a closed mind," Branden is the keyholder with an extraordinary ability to unlock his students' potential.

Today in this episode of the Scoolinary podcast, we have a black coffee with Trigg Brown, cookbook coauthor and co-owner of Taiwanese American Win Son Restaurant and Win Son Bakery in Brooklyn, NY. Listen up because you might be suprised by his career trajectory — it's missing something that seems fundamental to becoming a professional chef. He shares how he's adapted Taiwan's storied cuisine to create his style of Taiwanese American fusion cuisine along with his business partner, Josh Ku. He's also shared some accessible recipes through his Scoolinary course, which will be available next week, and he tells you which one you should start with. He also reveals what his goal was when he and Josh opened Win Son in New York's cutthroat culinary landscape. So far business has been good, which is proven not by what the people say but by what Trigg and Josh are about to do next.

Today in this episode of the Scoolinary podcast, we share a "work coffee" (americano with oat milk) with Anna Gordon, a project-manager-turned-pastry-chef who's almost literally made it her business to enchant her customers with cookies that range from classic to irresistably creative. She explains how not to take food too seriously (in the very serious business of food) and reveals the inner compass that guides her as a professional chef. She also tells us the one rule that can be bent but not broken when it comes to sweet creations. We get a little preview of what's coming to her cookie company, The Good Batch, based in Brooklyn, NY (listen closely to learn how to recreate her Valentine's Day Charm Cookie in your own kitchen) and she explains what makes the cookies in her Scoolinary course distinctly American. Cookies are really plated desserts in hand-held format, according to Anna, so get inspired to spin off some cookie creations of your own!

In this episode of the Scoolinary podcast, we knock back several coffees with Micha Schäfer, Michelin-starred chef at Nobelhart & Schmutzig in Berlin and unrelenting activist who's changing the way people think about food. Forget "farm to fork" and learn instead "vocally local" and "conscious reduction" and what they've done to the Berlin food scene under Micha's watch. He also names the one thing that will have the most impact on food culture where you are. Few chefs are as intimate with their ingredients as Micha is, so pay attention because what he has to say about sourcing ingredients is vital advice for anyone who cares about eating. He's captive to the highest quality products, which is excellent news for both his diners and for us because he reveals how to tell if something is really (really) good.

Grab a coffee and get ready to take notes from one of the world's most impactful chefs.
