Chef Michael Kalanty

Sunday Oct 08, 2023
Chef Michael Kalanty chats with us about the interesting road that led him to a career in baking. From a mathematics major to graduate school in architecture, to writing his thesis on the flying buttress of France’s cathedrals where he couldn’t help but notice the boulangeries next to every cathedral. He was so drawn to them that he apprenticed with a baker he met while there. This episode is worth listening to just for the description of focaccia with olive oil and “little pools of harvest grape jelly.”
An award-winning, professional baker with more than 20 years' experience, Michael Kalanty is a craft bread baker, culinary instructor, and cookbook author. His certifications include Executive Pastry Chef, Culinary Educator, and Master Taster. Kalanty was also named Chef Instructor of the Year by Le Cordon Bleu and has several full-length baking courses online, produced in partnership with Craftsy.com. His first book, How to Bake Bread, won "Best Bread Book in the World" at the Paris Cookbook Fair in 2011.
Michael is also a culinary R&D professional offering laboratory expertise in fermentation, sensory, and food analysis who works exclusively with companies who support a more sustainable and safe food system. Applied sciences formed the core of his undergrad training at Bucknell where he earned a degree in mathematics, specializing in statistics. Michael draws on his science background to develop and teach food science courses for professional culinary schools.
Michael has generously arranged for a 30% discount for his “Discovering Focaccia” video class in partnership with Central Milling’s Artisan Baking Center in Petaluma, CA! See link below.

Sunday Aug 13, 2023
This week we talk with one of our favorite returning guests, Julie Tran Deily! Like Denise, Julie has also recently been diagnosed with ADHD. Suddenly, a lot of things started making sense to her. She’s been researching ways to make her life easier and is with us to share what she’s learned. Her new website drops next week; be sure to check it out! creativedatanerd.com, and @creativedatanerd on Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok.
Julie is a former software engineer turned full-time freelancer and blogger. She started her very popular food blog, The Little Kitchen, in 2009. Her recipes use fresh ingredients, are pretty much no-fuss, and often indulgent enough to be considered comfort food. Julie works with brands like Kitchen Aid, Land O Lakes, Le Creuset, and many others doing sponsored posts, brand ambassadorships, food photography, and writing.

Bitter Sweet with Kitty Morse
Sunday Aug 06, 2023
Sunday Aug 06, 2023
Denise talks with Kitty Morse about her most recent cookbook, Bitter Sweet: A Wartime journal and Heirloom Recipes from Occupied France.
Award-winning author Kitty Morse was born in Casablanca, Morocco, of a French mother and British father. She emigrated to the United States at the age of seventeen. While studying for her Master’s Degree at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Kitty catered Moroccan diffas, or banquets, and went on to teach the intricacies of Moroccan cuisine in cooking schools and department stores nationwide. In June 2002, she conducted a Culinary Concert on Moroccan culture and cuisine hosted by Julia Child, as a benefit for the Harry Bell Foundation of the International Association of Culinary Professionals. Kitty’s books have been translated into French, German, Polish, and Czech. In 1984 (and for the next 25 years) she initiated annual gastronomic tours to Morocco that included culinary demonstrations in her family home, a Moorish riad south of Casablanca. Her monthly e-newsletter, The Kasbah Chronicles, in French and in English, is now in its twelfth year of circulation. Kitty has authored one memoir and 10 cookbooks.
