Ep 4. How to do no-waste cooking + returning to a new and different post-Covid world | Kerrie McCallum

When will we get our mojo back? When will we return to our sparkly selves, and how can we take steps to return to a new and different world?

We talk about all this today with Kerrie McCallum, the incredible Editor in Chief at delicious. magazine on Dish. I am so lucky to have this clever, strong proponent of the food industry and its best, most ethical and excellent producers - a woman who I treasure as a friend - on the podcast. Kerrie McCallum is known for her sheer excellence in the publishing world. She has been editor in chief of Sunday Style as well as InStyle magazine and is widely acknowledged for her extraordinary style.

Straight off sending to press the ZERO WASTE, August 2020, issue of delicious. magazine, she tells us about how she contemplates a newfound passion for reducing food waste at her place, including urging her two young children to bring their zeitgeist for reducing plastic to eating what's on their plate. Kerrie tells us about lockdown life for her, and how she's coped having kids at home while managing a full time job. She gives her tips on balancing it all - and feeding people - on being an unfrazzled home cook. She's dreaming of returning to restaurants, but she reveals a beautifully honest truth that returning to the real world is not what she expected. We ponder when our mojos, our sparkles, our zest for entertaining might return - has the lockdown stripped us of this part of ourselves? We discuss a gluttonous history together, the times that were, and how this whole experience might have changed us, possibly for good. And, of course, we talk Kerrie's favourite delicious. magazine recipes. I loved this honest, really authentic chat, it reminds me that we're all in this together, while transforming together as we embark on life in bit of a new world as well - caring more for the earth and environment, but also ourselves. Enjoy.
