Would it immediately grab your interest if I started this blog with a fun YouTube video of me doing cartwheels and jumping up and down and clicking my heels together? And what if I looked you straight in the eye and said, “You have got to listen to these super inspiring food shows. The guests and the content are that great. You will learn such amazing stuff and have fun doing so?”
First case in point – Meet Paul Novak, General Manager, WholeVine. This cutting edge company is taking POMACE (skins and seeds remaining after grapes are pressed for wine production) and making an entire line of FINE culinary products from them. Such as? Delicious, kids-want-to-eat-them whole grain, gluten free cookies; cold-pressed culinary grape seed oils with names like Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc; and – drum roll please – SIXTEEN Chef-tested natural flours made from world class sustainably grown California fine wine grapes. The gluten-free flour is made from antioxidant-rich fine wine grape skins and seeds – both of which used to go to the compost pile. How did this all get started by one of the owners of Kendall-Jackson? To support a charity event maybe? Click here to listen to this great story.
Second case in point – Can you imagine 81 fruit trees on a third of an acre in the middle of one of the largest cities in America? I have seen it with my own eyes! Do you know what a food mile is and how many miles your tomato probably traveled from farm to your plate? Do you want to know? Meet Greg Peterson, the Über Urban Gardener! Greg’s passion is to inspire every single one of us into our own level of greenness. He does it by living his very personal version of greenness and then sharing it.

Two great guests and great things you will learn from them!
