Show Notes

Today's guest is Peter Hoffman,  a man I've long admired for his greenmarket ingredient driven food, his former restaurants (Savoy, Back Forty, and Back Forty West), his passion and commitment to the land and the food and farmers behind it.  

Peter is the author of the highly acclaimed book, "What Good?: A Memoir in Fourteen Ingredients."  From the moment I cracked the spine and dove in to this book, I knew I was in good hands.  Peter's writing is as eloquent and beautiful as his cooking was, weaving together stories of his childhood, restaurant life in NYC, the farmers behind the greenmarket, and the ingredients that drive the underlying narrative.  

I hope you enjoy today's conversation with Peter.  You can connect with Peter on instagram at @peterhoffmannyc  or on his website at   https://peterhoffmancooks.com/
