When I was in L.A. in November I was so excited to get a note from Michelle and Matt asking me to be on their podcast, Forked Up. I was actually the first vegan cookbook author they have ever had on the show… what an honor! They specifically wanted to talk about my relationship (or rather, break up) with John Diemer. I was ready. Listen to the interview here to find out what some of the road blocks were to making a cookbook while your life is blowing up in your face and some of what’s next for hot for food.
I have to say, Matt Holloway and Michelle Davis of Bad Manners are rad cool and I admire their bad ass business sense. You can check out their blog for tasty recipes too!
