Kitchen Confession Podcast

EPISODE 5: Chatting with Laura O’Brien in Episode 5 had me smiling throughout the entire conversation. Her light hearted approach to cooking, and wonderful sense of humour, will inspire you. Laura shares her love of baking, and tips to cleaning as you go in the kitchen. Spoiler Alert! She has  help from her four legged clean up crew. They trail her steps securing fallen flour and other ingredients.

Episode 4: Fay Knights once had 20/20 vision and overnight lost most of her central vision due to a condition called Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON). That hasn’t stopped this kind and fiercely independent Marketing and Communications Coordinator with a passion for health and wellness. Fay and I chat about her stand mixer mishap, bump dots and she shares a cooking tip that will have you running to your local hardware store - but only after you’ve finished listening to this Episode…..mmmkay?

Episode 3 is with Cathy Furfaro-Ausman. Cathy is not only my cousin but someone that I have always admired. Growing up with Cathy has taught me to embrace life’s challenges, strive for success and she finds me hilarious and that makes her perfect. She’s an Educator at W.Ross MacDonald School which is the only school in Ontario and Canada for blind and deaf blind students. As a former CNIB rehabilitation instructor Cathy shares many kitchen safety tips, and her three trusty food guides. Spoiler Alert - I’m one of them but who else is on Cathy’s speed dial?

I chat with legally blind backpacker, YouTuber, and Standup Comic Dan Barra-Berger who shares tips for cooking while backpacking, living dangerously when frying and how cooking blind has taught him the importance of proper kitchen utensils. 

I talk to Brian Manning of Two Blind Brothers Clothing Line. We chat about his cause driven clothing company with his brother Bradford, faking it in the kitchen, his love for cooking, signature dish, cooking for the family and what unexpected special ingredient ended up in one of our dishes.
