After working in some of the most prestigious restaurants in the world, Louisiana-born Chef and author Ryan Rondeno developed his signature style of flavor and execution which garnered him celebrity clients like Will Smith, Common, Ben Affleck, P. Diddy and many more. In this episode, I ask Chef Ryan about the kind of mentality it took to achieve success in the highly competitive world of culinary arts, and how he balances his "What's next" mentality with appreciating the small wins along the journey. We also discuss what advice he has for anyone looking to expand their family's palate and bring in more flavor to home cooking (hint: his collection of Creole spices and rubs is one easy way!) Connect with Chef Ryan on his website Instagram, YouTube and Facebook. Order his book Spice It Up Rub It Down: 30 Flavorful Recipes Made Easy.  Connect with me on Instagram @motherhoodunstressed and be sure to let me know what you thought of the episode in my latest post!
