BALANCING PARENTHOOD AND CAREERS
Massimo Mele, Food Director of Grain of the Silos, and Scott Bridger, Executive Chef of Perth’s Bib and Tucker, have been practising sustainable cooking for many years now. They frequently share their expertise in using garden abundance and cooking with no waste, but when it comes to balancing their careers, fatherhood and being present in every moment, this is a new challenge they are navigating. In this episode we talk about cooking and eating as a family, both inside and outside the home, the role of parenting and fatherhood today, as well as setting goals and achieving your ambitions.
