Description
It took a little while before award-winning writer Osayi Endolyn answered her calling, but the food world is fortunate she did, as she’s put a number of thoughtful projects into the world. In addition to articles and essays for the likes of Time, Food52, and Oxford American, Osayi has co-authored two special books: The Rise: Black Cooks and the Soul of American Food with Marcus Samuelsson, and Black Power Kitchen with the Bronx-based collective Ghetto Gastro. The latter was just published by Artisan and it’s a tour de force of art, cuisine, culture, and creativity. Osayi joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the process behind the books and how to bring participants’ voices forward in literary collaborations. She also shares early food memories and the path that got her where she is today. Don’t miss Part 1 of today’s show with the co-founder of Ghetto Gastro, Jon Gray, out now. Listen to both episodes wherever you get your podcasts. Ghetto Gastro would love for you to buy a copy of Black Power Kitchen from a Black-owned bookstore, like The Lit. Bar in the Bronx.

Chef Valerie Chang Of Maty’s In Miami On Mental Health And Peruvian Cuisine: “Focus on the big picture,” says Valerie Chang, the chef and owner of Maty’s, a 150-seat Peruvian spot in Miami. For her, that means more than awards (like her recent James Beard nomination) and the future of her restaurant. It translates to taking care of her mental and physical well-being and implementing a new kind of hospitality that’s focused on service not servitude. Valerie sat down with host Kerry Diamond in Miami to talk about her career, her family’s restaurant group (which includes B-Side and her brother’s soon-to-open Peruvian-Japanese spot, Itamae Ao. Valerie also shares what she’s learned in therapy, her thoughts on being a boss, and Maty’s menu highlights, including a twist on the traditional Oxtail Saltado and, for dessert, nostalgic sweet potato butternut squash doughnuts known as Picarones.
