In today’s episode, I talk to Chef Hari Cameron, Chef Andrew McLeod, and Pastry Chef Sam Mason. This is a panel discussion about Creative Decisions developing the conversation started in Chapter 5 of my book, Conversations Behind the Kitchen Door. 

You’ll hear about how each chef approaches the creative process, and how creativity shifts through the seasons and over the years. You’ll hear the exciting current dishes each chef is working on, how they balance simplicity with complexity, and why sometimes creativity is easier within parameters.

I try to lean on seasonality when I create menus, and I think it’s the mantra for a lot of chefs. -Hari Cameron
