A Discussion with Chef and Food Writer Amethyst Ganaway

On this week’s Chefs Without Restaurants podcast I have Amethyst Ganaway. She’s worked in the food business for more than 10 years, in both the front and back of the house. Besides being a chef, she also does food writing. You can find her work on her website Geechie Gordita, as well as in Food & Wine (https://www.foodandwine.com/news/black-communities-food-as-protest) , Plate (https://plateonline.com/guest-blogs/amethyst-ganaway/what-i-learned-going-front-house-kitchen) , Serious Eats (https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2020/11/smothered-turkey-wings.html) , Garden & Gun (https://gardenandgun.com/articles/how-one-surprising-recipe-bonds-a-family-of-cooks/) and Eater (https://www.eater.com/2020/6/8/21283927/how-restaurants-can-help-black-lives-matter-racial-injustice-blm-protests) . 

We discuss:

·       asking "why" in the kitchen

·       transferable skills and being well-rounded

·       food writing, and getting paid for your work
