Join Lydia Shire and Will Gilson as they talk about how intertwined food and love can be, sometimes in very surprising ways.

Hear Lydia talk about how bringing a buttercream cake to a job interview landed Lydia her first restaurant job at Maison Robert where she worked with Julia Child and within three years, she became head chef.

Will Gilson tells his story about discovering the perfect risotto recipe in Italy as an angst-filled teen helped him shake off the emotional turbulence of his parent’s divorce. And eventually helped him meet the woman of his dreams.
