Interviews

Bill Corbett loves playing around with mushrooms and is experimenting with celery root. This isn’t so interesting unless you consider that Corbett utilizes these ingredients in dishes like porcini s’mores and cake. We recently caught up with the ex-vegan, underground metal–loving pastry chef to talk about the differences between East and West Coast cooking and more.

There’s a good chance that you might recognize Natalie Oliveros, a.k.a. Savanna Samson, from her roles in such award-winning adult films as The Masseuse with Jenna Jameson and Debbie Does Dallas… Again. (We'll spare you the hyperlinks). But would you believe us if we said we knew her instead from her work with acclaimed winemaker Roberto Cipresso of Fattoria La Fiorita? Read on.

Unlike Melanie Dunea’s similar, but also very different, My Last Supper series — featuring industry heavies like Batali, Bourdain and Jacques Pepin — Todd Selby, a high-end fashion photographer and producer with Louis Vuitton and Microsoft as clients, captures more of a culinary in crowd, rather than it crowd. We caught up with him recently.
