About this listen

 Modena's famous Massimo Bottura approaches food and cooking with a sense of creativity that is electric. His charm and energy are irresistible, and his values of social justice and sustainability are deeply aligned with my own. I had the great pleasure of interviewing Massimo in 2017 and dove into a topic we both care about: reducing food waste. You can tune into that episode here: https://www.marionkane.com/podcast/massimo-bottura-mission-turn-food/

If reducing food waste and feeding the disenfranchised is something you care about too, you will love Peter Svatek's documentary 'Theater of Life,' where Massimo and 60 of the world's top chefs reclaim food headed for the dumpster and make beautiful meals for some of Italy's hungriest people: Theater of Life - NFB

And I would be remiss if I didn't mention 'Bread is Gold,' a cookbook that features recipes from Massimo and others that inspires home chefs to reclaim wasted ingredients and transform them into dishes that are both delicious and beautiful: Tasty Cookbook by Chef Massimo Bottura and Friends is Pure Gold
