Dina is a true gem. Her channel, Silver Lining Homeplace, offers awesome comfort food, tips and tricks, gardening advice, and the occasional cocktail recipe, all delivered with a smile and her charming personality. Hard to believe that only a short while ago, she had never posted a YouTube video in her life. So together, we dive deep down the rabbit hole to uncover, where it all started and how Dina, as we know and love her, came to be. Note: I apologize for the bad audio quality of my side of the recording. Tried to fix it as best as I could, but it’s not great. Hope you still enjoy it.

Kelly lives in one of the food capitals of the world. For one, Portland has the highest number of food trucks in the US (according to some news outlets). So it’s a bit of a surprise that she isn’t known for her canning skills or for reading recipes on Youtube. Most people know her from her many podcasts, her work for App Camp For Girls or her amazing tech support skills. Today, however, Kelly and I talk all about food, ADHD and Dole Whip at Disneyland.

To say David knows a lot about the culinary scene in and around Chicago would be an absolute understatement. While he’s not much into cooking (aside from the occasional BBQ) he sure is a foodie. With his extensive knowledge of everything good there is to eat and drink in the area, one has to wonder why he hasn’t written a book or created a TV show about it. One thing is certain though: Chicago has a lot to offer, when it comes to food. Not just Deep Dish Pizza, something most people would associate with the city, but also hot dogs, cheese sandwiches and so, so much more! It’s really no surprise there’s a long running food rivalry with New York. I for one, plan on visiting Chicago soon. And coming back 100lbs heavier most likely. It will be worth it.

For people in the Apple technology news space, Mike Rose is a well known entity. He served as Editor for The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) for over 8 years, and his voice can still be heard on many podcasts. Influenced by his Jewish upbringing and his lovely wife’s German ancestry, Mike is certainly what you’d call a foodie. He’s very curios about food, and loves to visit his favorite restaurants in and around Brooklyn. Through his wife, he also experienced the kitchen of North-Western Germany (Lippe) as well as Berlin’s amazing street food scene. A while ago, Mike dipped his toes into the world of live cooking, sharing his chicken recipe on Instagram Live and showing us at least some of his many kitchen gadgets. Mike’s favorite dish: Pork Chops in Cherry-Pepper Sauce Recipe.

What do babies, sleep and Lemon Meringue Pie have in common? Quite a lot, when it comes to Teresa. As a foodie and environmentalist from California, Teresa enjoys everything the state has to offer year round. Her favorite place? The farmers market, where she can see what’s looking good and in season right now, and interact with the farmers. She loves to let the produce inspire her, even if that means 3 months of broccoli dishes. One thing few people know about her is that she owned and ran a restaurant in New Albany (Indiana) for a year.

Most people know Brett as a prolific creator of apps and tools. Or as someone who likes to talk about Taylor Swift on podcasts. Today, however, he is talking about food. Something that he’s never done before on a podcast. Brett definitely has lots of interesting stories to tell. Like how he went vegetarian to impress a girl. And then stuck to it for almost his entire adult life. Or how he used to eat food out of dumpsters because he had “other priorities” and the only good meal he would have was from a lovely Thai restaurant whose owner became almost like a father to him. The one thing that sticks out when Brett talks about food is how he approaches it with almost scientific curiosity. He strives to understand how food works and how it was discovered. For example, early on he loved to learn how sugars change when heat is applied. And so, even though he doesn’t consider himself a Foodie, he certainly knows a lot about it. Somehow, that is something his tech life and his kitchen life have in common. Oh and his favorite food? PB&J.

Coming from a Jamaican family and with his mom being an amazing cook, Chris certainly had food in his veins. And so it’s not surprising that, at a very young age and after working at two restaurants at the same time, he became the assistant manager of a local fast-food restaurant. How did he get there? By using his smarts, working hard, and, admittedly, being young and cocky… Eventually, he left the food industry and worked his way up in the IT business. His passion for food didn’t just disappear though. And not long after, he discovered the amazing world of BBQ. In this episode, Chris tells us his secret sauce for a really good BBQ!

Adam is a long time podcaster and Apple enthusiast. His show ‘Maccast’ has long been a staple of the wider Apple community. Growing up in California, Adam describes the style of food he to this day enjoys as ’typical American cuisine’, heavily influenced by readily available (and good!) Mexican food. Things changed though, when his kids were born and grew older. Wanting to provide a healthy environment and also save some money, he and his wife became more and more interested in cooking, even leaving the comforts of American cuisine to venture out into the wide world of food. They also very intentionally approached the topic of cooking with his children, wanting to make sure they are well prepared for when they leave the nest… Links: Best Dry Rub for Ribs Lil Piggy’s BarBBQ Phil’s BBQ California Burrito Jello Casserole Cardamom Rolls Adam can be found at: @maccast Maccast Please follow me on Twitter (@foodieflashback).

From the culinary heights of the Yorkshire pub scene to the best southern France has to offer, Alistair has certainly experienced a wide range of foods. Growing up mostly on convenience food, it took him going vegetarian for a little while during his college years (mostly to impress girls) to discover that cooking could actually be fun and also save some money. A little bit further down the line, after meeting his wife, he discovers the cultural differences between (southern) France, Italy and the UK when it comes to preparing, presenting and eating food. She also reintroduces him to a Vegetarian lifestyle, which he enjoys a lot (except for Fish & Chips). If only there were any good Vegetarian restaurants outside of London… Links: Yorkshire Pudding Longest bar Mushy peas for Pork Pie Braised Beef Pork medallions Lemon Meringue Pie Student Cookbook (Fiona Beckett) Chicken Balti Murgatroyds Fish & Chips Harry Ramsden’s The Madhur Jaffrey Cookbook: Curry recipe Alistair can be found at: @alidabbs Autosave is for wimps Please follow me on Twitter (@foodieflashback).
