On the eve of the 5th annual Alimenta Curitiba (Feed Curitiba), which she founded through her Instituto Manu, she took the time to explain the responsibility that comes with celebrity status. She deserves all the fame she’s earned as a pioneering chef, and she credits her heritage as well as her native Brazil as influences.

35. Coffee with Jade Nina Sarkhel — Food photography with a fresher perspective
In this episode of the Scoolinary podcast, we have a piccolo coffee with Jade Nina Sarkhel, whose natural talent for creating appetizing food photos almost quite literally took her in a new direction, from her native London to Bali. She’ll tell you about the lucky shot she got that helped launch her career in food photography, but there’s more to just being in the right place at the right time. Jade soon adapted her singular creativity to emerging technologies to take advantage of new forms of marketing that were coming into play at the time. She offers advice for restaurant owners, plus a few tips that can be applied to both still photography and video. There’s much more to learn from her course, yet she also indirectly inspires us to go out, connect the food on our plate with the elaborate process it takes to put it there, and then share it with the rest of the world.If you want to know more about us, go to https://www.scoolinary.com/?utm_source=podcast We are waiting for you on our social networks:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scoolinary_en/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Scoolinary Jade’s online course, Food Photography with Smartphone, is coming to Scoolinary at the beginning of November.

34. Tea with Karime López — If memory serves...this chef creates the dishes
In this episode of the Scoolinary podcast, we sip tea with Karime López, a visual artist turned professional chef once she discovered that food is its own kind of art. Now the executive chef at Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura in Florence, Italy, Karime indulges her creativity in the global menu she’s helped design for the restaurant. She explains how her age and gender kept getting her stuck in one area of the culinary arts when she was just starting out (but then she reveals how it has served her well since then). While her food may be divine, she’s also got a practical streak for developing dishes, yet it’s her multicultural experience — starting with her native Mexico, that’s empowered her to create edible (and visual) works of art.If you want to know more about us, go to https://www.scoolinary.com/?utm_source=podcast We are waiting for you on our social networks:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scoolinary_en/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Scoolinary You can get more information about Karime’s online course, Zero Waste Cuisine, at https://www.scoolinary.com/courses/zero-waste-cuisine.

33. Coffee with Gertel & Fraser — How to properly plate a dish: first start with the plate
In this episode of the Scoolinary podcast, we share a coffee with Paula Gertel and Cameron Fraser of Gertel & Fraser, their signature brand of “alive tableware,” which they’ll explain the meaning of. Anyone who’s ever watched a dish being professionally plated has witnessed the painstaking detail that goes into the presentation, but how many of us have ever given much thought to the actual plate underneath the dish? Both artists took the time to shed some light on this vital element of gastronomy despite being in the middle of a massive project to produce 160 pieces in time for an exclusive event in 10 days. Each piece they create is a culmination of carefully calculated choices to achieve specific results, but they will tell you that things don’t always go according to plan.Gertel & Fraser have managed to go beyond the “food is art” cliché to achieve a special kind of intimate moment between their tableware, the dish, and the diner — you will look at the plate that’s bearing your food with a new appreciation after you listen to this episode!If you want to know more about us, go to https://www.scoolinary.com/?utm_source=podcast We are waiting for you on our social networks:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scoolinary_en/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Scoolinary You can get more information about Gertel & Fraser, at https://www.gertel-fraser.com or on their Instagram, https://www.instagram.com/gertel_fraser
