HeritageRadioNetwork.org (HRN) presents “Evolutionaries,” a new radio documentary series featuring the stories behind the stories of individuals who defied conventions and shaped our food landscape. Tune in to hear from personalities who made their mark on our collective food culture, sharing experiences in their own words. Eric Ripert recounts club nights at 6AM. Steve Jenkins reminisces about secretly selling illegal cheeses. Harold McGee recalls how the smell of his mother’s curry sauces clung to his clothes during the school day. “Evolutionaries” is your chance to hear these food visionaries unguarded and unchained from the conventional food media format.
Meet Harold McGee, the man who literally wrote the book on science & cooking. His career defining book,On Food & Cooking, has been referenced as a cooking bible for a generation of forward thinking chefs and culinary professionals. On Evoluationaries, discover how a question from a friend on beans and flatulence inspired Harold to make a career of researching and writing about what happens when we cook, prepare and consume food. Harold McGee is largely responsible for the molecular gastronomy/modernist cuisine movement and is cited as a major influence from the likes of Heston Blumenthal, Alton Brown and Dave Arnold. Harold’s passion for gastronomic knowledge has changed the way we eat food in this country, and his journey is as inspiring as his work. This program was sponsored by Tekserve.
