This week I speak with pastry chef, and self-proclaimed culinary renegade Kate Holowchik.

Her desserts are a mix of the refined, with a touch of nostalgia. We discuss: empowering your staffstanding up for yourselftoxic work environmentsfood as intellectual propertypop-upsand so much more=========================== Kate Holowchik and Lionheart Confections =========================== Kate's  Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kholowchik/Lionheart Confections Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lionheartconfections/=========================== CONNECT WITH US =========================== SUPPORT US ON PATREON https://www.patreon.com/chefswithoutrestaurantsGet the Chefs Without Restaurants Newsletter https://mailchi.mp/fe0d8a0cc7a6/chefs-without-restaurants-email-listCheck out our websites (they have different stuff) https://chefswithoutrestaurants.org/ & https://chefswithoutrestaurants.com/Like our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/chefswithoutrestaurantsJoin the private Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/chefswithoutrestaurantsJoin the conversation on Twitter https://twitter.com/ChefsWoRestosCheck our Insta pics https://www.instagram.com/chefswithoutrestaurants/Founder Chris Spear’s personal chef business Perfect Little Bites https://perfectlittlebites.com/Watch on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHXxixMxjf05XxUIbz6ER-QIf you want to support the show, our Venmo name is ChefWoRestos and can be found at https://venmo.com/ChefWoRestos.
