On this episode I sit down with a childhood friend who shares my love of homemade bread. We talk about how she almost pursued a culinary career, her experience working in a bakery, how baking bread has become a sort of therapy, and she even shares some advice on baking a delicious loaf from scratch. Then to wrap up the episode I check in with my husband on where we are at in our own bread adventure: the failures, successes and everything in between.

Have you ever felt like you just can't do it all? Do you feel guilty for not reaching a certain 'standard' in any aspect of your life? As we approach our sons first birthday my husband and I reflect on the past year of parenthood and the beautiful realization that when it comes to our personal life, friendships and business some things are fine just the way they are.

On this episode I sit down with Sam Le, a former sushi chef turned wedding photographer. We talk about how television changed his life, the best meal he's ever had, and where how he chooses where and what to eat when travelling. Sam shares a bit about how his parents adapted Vietnamese food with new ingredients when they moved to America, as well as both his fine dining and street food experiences.

In this second episode I share a bottle of wine with Genevieve Renee, a photographer, wife, mother and lover of beautiful things. We talk about the nostalgia of food, where she finds inspiration to make it look so pretty without breaking the bank, how she’s creating food experiences with and for her children, and we share our thoughts on taking the time to cook in an ever busy life.

"I have often treated it as a necessity as opposed to something that can be beautiful and an experience. Most people view it that way. We’ve got to eat. We’ve got to get food on the table. It’s like an obligation rather than a joy."

Why would a photographer, wife and mother decide to start a podcast about something she loves but doesn't know much about? In this first episode I welcomed my husband to talk about creating space in our home for gathering, the process of building our table, as well as my journey of falling in love with bread and wine.

"“We wanted a table where there could be wine stains and crumbs in the cracks that was imperfect in the sense that it felt like an accessible place for people to come.”
