Author: Chef Jacob Burton - StellaCulinary.com December 23, 2018 Duration: 1:12:42

In this episode, I'm joined by Chef Sean Munshaw to discuss what he's cooking for Christmas, and we answer some listener questions including:

  • How we make a great clam chowder, which leads to an overall discussion on how we approach soup making in general.
  • How classic flavors are established and discovered, and what it really mean to have a "classic flavor pairing."
  • How to get your foot in the door of a high end, Michelin starred kitchen.
