Summary

“I don’t like to accept the status quo,” says today’s guest, activist, chef, and mom of four Camilla Marcus. Camilla joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her debut cookbook, “My Regenerative Kitchen: Plant-Based Recipes And Sustainable Practices To Nourish Ourselves And The Planet,” and the steps folks can take to have a greener kitchen, from reading labels to purchasing regenerative pantry brands. Camilla also talks about her groundbreaking New York City eatery, west~bourne, which served as a laboratory for her ideas about sustainability, tipping (or rather no tipping), and childcare. Camilla closed west~bourne during the pandemic and transitioned the company to a packaged goods brand that is known today for its avocado oil and sustainable packaging, but she continues to fight for change in the restaurant industry.
