Welcome to a special edition of Kitchen Chat: A Taste of Luxury, History, and Hospitality. Host Margaret McSweeney takes you to the heart of London's Mayfair, a place synonymous with timeless elegance, to visit the incomparable Brown's Hotel, a Rocco Forte Property, https://www.roccofortehotels.com/hotels-and-resorts/brown-s-hotel/

Brown's is more than just a hotel; it's a living piece of history, where the past whispers from every corner. Founded in 1837, this is London's very first hotel, and its legacy is rich with stories. It's where Rudyard Kipling wrote The Jungle Book, and where Alexander Graham Bell made Britain's first-ever telephone call. Today, this historic landmark has been impeccably reimagined, blending its iconic heritage with a modern culinary spirit.

This episode will feature highlights from Margaret's Kitchen Chat last summer with her friend, Chef Ross Sneddon, Regional Executive Pastry Chef for Rocco Forte (including The Balmoral and Brown's Hotel). During her visit to London this summer, Margaret and May Wong visited with Chef Ross to sample the popular Mayfair Bun which is now available at Brown's.

Inspired by centuries of British baking tradition yet entirely its own, the Mayfair Bun is a delicate balance of indulgence and restraint. Baked in beeswax, draped in honey, and dusted with floral bee pollen, it offers a subtle sweetness that lingers without overpowering. The honey used in the Mayfair Bun is sourced from the award-winning Rhug Estate in North Wales, where bees forage freely among wildflowers in the Dee Valley. The result is a naturally floral honey with subtle notes of citrus and heather.

This pastry is a tribute to the hotel's address at 33 Albemarle Street in Mayfair. Each Mayfair bun features 33 delicate layers of pastry and only 33 of these buns are baked and sold each day, with £1 from each sale benefiting Bees for Development, https://www.beesfordevelopment.org/about-us/ a charity dedicated to beekeeping and biodiversity. Get ready to experience the perfect blend of luxury, history, and hospitality as we celebrate a true London icon.

Remember, every episode of Kitchen Chat can be heard on all podcast platforms and NOW heard on The Great British Tea Party on Facebook., https://www.facebook.com/GreatBritishTeaParty/

Do you want more confidence at the grill? Today's guest, Chef Matthew Eads shares recipes and tips from his cookbook Grill Seeker: Basic Training for Everyday Grilling As a U.S. Marine for thirteen years, Chef Matt knows firsthand about basic training. He recently joined Chef Jaime Laurita and me in the Middleby Residential showroom at the Merchandise Mart for a Kitchen Chat.

"Hockey mimics life.  It's important to stay mentally focused no matter if the momentum changes." Daniel Carcillo, two time Stanley Cup winner, formerly with Chicago Blackhawks Unexpected blows in life can happen to us all.  However, unexpected blows in the hockey rink can change the course of one's life after the game.  

Daniel Carcillo shares how he is helping  athletes pave a new path to better assimilation in life after they stop playing.   Chef Jaime Laurita and I spoke with Carcillo during the National Restaurant Show where he was signing hockey pucks and taking photos with fans at the Middleby booth.

Food is sport, especially at the IKA/Culinary Olympics.  Chef Stafford DeCambra, President of the American Culinary Federation (ACF) has brought home 11 gold medals.  Recently, Chef Jaime Laurita and I had a pop-up Kitchen Chat with Chef DeCambra at Middleby's booth at the National Restaurant Show.  

ACF is celebrating its 90th birthday this year.  Founded in 1929 by  a group of chefs, ACF certifies the chefs at all levels, including Master Chefs.  In addition, ACF provides culinary schools with accreditation. Having grown up in Oahu, Chef DeCambra's key life ingredients are Ohana and Mana.  

Ohana is the special Hawaiian word for family and Mana means spiritual energy.  He truly exemplifies the Spirit of Aloha, which is hospitality and graciousness.

You never know where my Kitchen Chat journey will bring me.  Recently, I attended an incredible Mastermind Group in the South Florida TikiHut of Fred Fishback.  What was extra special about this meeting is that Fred's father and my father were both stationed in Nuremberg post World War II after Fred's father valiantly served our country during that war.  My brother sent a photo to me and it appears that Fred's father and my father are both in that picture! As you know, the reason I began my Kitchen Chat culinary journey is to honor my late father.  Meeting Fred is truly a hug from heaven.  And it was great to meet Fred's friend, Chris Gannon, founder of Bolay, who provided a delicious and most memorable meal to the Mastermind attendees.

During his visit to Chicago for National Restaurant Show, Chris Gannon filmed a Kitchen Chat with Chef Jaime and me at the Middleby booth.  If you are an entrepreneur, you will learn some great insights into growing your own business and if you are a foodie, you will discover Bolay, a great fast casual restaurant group that Chris Gannon created to be a healthier option with nutrient rich foods.

On today's Kitchen Chat®, we will learn about the technology and commercial equipment in the restaurants and how that impacts the way we cook at home.  

Chef Jaime Laurita and I did a pop-up Kitchen Chat in the Middleby Residential booth at the National Restaurant Show and interviewed Tim FitzGerald, CEO of Middleby Corporation and David Brewer, COO of Middleby Corporation.  Middleby is one of the largest commercial and kitchen residential equipment manufacturers in the world.

It's kitchen confession time..... I grew up in the South and never actually made biscuits. My dear friend Chef Carla Hall along with Chadwick Boyd recently brought Biscuit Time to Kitchen Chat!

How fun to learn how to make biscuits alongside Chef Jaime Laurita in the beautiful Viking and La Cornue Middleby Residential showroom at the Merchandise Mart.  Biting into a hot biscuit brought back tastes of my childhood and the delicious food that my father would make.

This is a Kitchen Chat you will want to keep as a tutorial on how to make the perfect biscuits every time.  And of course you have the best teachers ever with Chef Carla and Chadwick.  They are our biscuit buddies!

In 2012, Jen Hidinger-Kendrick's husband, Chef Ryan Hidinger was diagnosed with late stage terminal cancer of the gallbladder. Friends, family and the Atlanta community rallied behind her family and raised over $300,000.  Jen said that this outpouring gave Ryan a peace of mind and that the community's overwhelming response to the Hidingers' crisis set the intent, beliefs and values for the Giving Kitchen. "Tragedy hit and crisis hit for us.  But what happened after that really is what changed the trajectory we believe of the restaurant and food service industry of what we are seeing now with the work we are doing with Giving Kitchen."  

Giving Kitchen is an Atlanta based non-profit that offers stability including financial aid to food service workers in times of crisis such as sickness, injury, death of immediate family member, and national disaster in addition to other programs. And, Giving Kitchen is the 2019 James Beard Foundation's Humanitarian of the Year.  

Drew Nieporent, founder of Myriad Restaurant Group including Nobu and Tribeca Grill, is the perfect matchmaker for the pairing of food and film.  Just hours before joining Chef Jaime Laurita and me for a Kitchen Chat in the Middleby Residential Showroom, he hosted lunch for opening day of 18th annual Tribeca Film Festival.  

Many of his restaurants' partners are celebrities including Robert De Niro and Bill Murray.  Service is a key ingredient to success, especially in the restaurant industry.  

In 1982, Nieporent was general manager of  24 Fifth Avenue when James Beard walked into the restaurant and requested a Manhattan Neat. The next time Beard walked into the restaurant, Nieporent handed him a Manhattan Neat and will always remember the nod of approval from this culinary legend.  Anticipating a guest's need before being asked is truly the heart and art of hospitality.

Bourbon is a big trend, and I especially love how women are a key part of this resurgence.   Bourbon Women chapters are all gaining momentum across the country.  Recently, the Four Roses Bourbon Legend, Al Young joined Chef Jaime Laurita and me for a Kitchen Chat in the Middleby Residential Showroom in Chicago.  We had a fun Bourbon and Bites event in the showroom and of course featured Four Roses bourbon.

"I like to think that whatever you cook indoors. you can cook it even better outdoors" Meathead Goldwyn.

She is joined by the celebrated pitmaster, culinary scientist, and seminal voice in outdoor cooking, Meathead Goldwyn, author of the landmark book, "The Meathead Method: A BBQ Hall of Famer's Secrets and Science on BBQ, Grilling, and Outdoor Cooking with 114 Recipes."

Discover the tastes of terroir and enjoy a sip of the world with Monique Huston, national director of Winebow Spirits. According to Huston, "People are hip into looking at terroir of spirits and getting a sense of the land."  Just as with wine and food, the soil and weather can influence the taste of spirits. Mezcal in Tulum is one of the hottest trends these days, and Huston even provided a sample of an agave that takes 25 years to produce one bottle.  It was so surprising to actually taste the terroir.  Globally, most people consume whisky with soda, coconut water or  green tea.

"Food is Love"

Caroline Manzo and Chef Jaime Laurita Caroline Manzo is a household name as one of Bravo's beloved Real Housewives of New Jersey and Manzo'd with Children.  Recently, Caroline joined her brother (and my dear friend and co-host), Chef Jaime Laurita and me in the Viking and La Cornue Showroom in New York City for a Kitchen Chat.  

How special to hear Caroline's and Jaime's stories about their childhood taste memories at the family farm where their grandmothers would prepare Italian family recipes including Italian meatballs, panzerotti, and gnocchi.

On this very special episode of Kitchen Chat: A Taste of Luxury, History and Hospitality, host Margaret McSweeney takes us on a sweet, very personal journey home. Broadcasting from the vibrant culinary heart of her beloved hometown, Birmingham, Alabama, Margaret has a Kitchen Chat with Leigh Sloss-Corra, the dynamic Executive Director of The Market at Pepper Place. Margaret and Leigh are both members of Les Dames d'Escoffier and first met during the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) conference in Birmingham. Margaret serves on the board for IACP.

The Market at Pepper Place is celebrating its 25th anniversary and is a thriving farmer's market place which serves as the city's epicurean epicenter. The Market at Pepper Place is a brilliant example of striking the perfect balance between urban renewal and a testament to the power of local Southern food roots and artisans Birmingham is world renowned for. Leigh's sister, Cathy Sloss Jones was an integral part of launching this farmers' market along with Chef Frank Stitt and Chef Franklin Biggs who realized that something needed to be done to ensure the ongoing viability of Alabama farmers and locally sourced food. Each weekend, guests can enjoy a cooking demo. Margaret was quite impressed with the international flavors at this market. A native of Nepal, Prarthana Pandey, owner of Dalle Momo cooked dumplings and flavorful dipping sauces to sample.

Margaret and her childhood friend, Melanie sipped refreshing Thai Tea and Butterfly Pea Tea from Tay's Tea.

In a conversation that beautifully encapsulates the show's pillars, Margaret and Leigh explore the rich History of the Pepper Place district, its transformation from an industrial hub to a culinary focused cultural landmark.
