Jul 18 – GoSun Solar & Hot Dogs

Posted on July 13, 2020 by Guy

First up is Patrick Sherwin CEO and Founder of GoSun, an innovative company producing many solar powered products.  Patrick says:

GoSun creates innovative products that encourage fun, resilience and independence. We are passionate about our products and how they power our customers’ lives. Founded in a small suburban garage in Cincinnati, Ohio, we grew quickly thanks to our community of committed customers and shareholders, who not only believe in our products, but also use them to bring people together.

I’ll be cooking hot dogs on one of the most convenient and transportable GoSun cookers just outside the studio.  The GoSun Go® is the most portable solar oven ever. Using just the Sun, this ultralight solar cooker can bake, roast, steam, and boil anywhere. Solar Cooking in clouds and cold? No problem. Breakthrough solar technology that’s fast, reliable and portable. Cooking hot dogs with the SUN in a mere minutes, what FUN 🙂

A Solar Future

Although GoSun is still a small entrepreneurial business, we believe we should all do what we can, when we can. Since our inception, we’ve worked with dozens of nonprofit organizations to provide discounted solar cookers and other solar products to those that need them most.

GoSun has provided funding to support the efforts of The Houston Food Bank, Global Giving, and Operation BBQ Relief. In 2018, we made donations to The American Red Cross and World Central Kitchen to assist in Hurricane Florence relief efforts and to the California Community Wildfire Relief Fund to aid in the the camp fire relief efforts. We  provided 1,500 solar cookers to the American Red Cross to assist with relief efforts due to Typhoon Yutu.  We also donate money to Trees for the Future for every product sold to plant more trees  So far, we’ve helped plant over 40,000 trees.  Learn more at www.gosun.co  Follow GoSun on Face Book and Twitter

Patrick Sherwin has spent most of his career in renewable energy and founded GoSun in 2013 to create products and partnerships to help feed the world and bolster energy independence and social equality.  A solar designer, consultant, and developer, he is leveraging the knowledge gained in construction, science, engineering,  sales and marketing, and integration of renewables to develop solar cookers.

In the second half I’ll be talking to Eric Mittenthal President of the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council

July is National Hot Dog Month!  Celebrate all Month Long with #WienerWednesdays

Established in 1994, the Council serves as an information resource to consumers and media on issues related to quality, safety, trivia, nutrition, preparation and recipes of hot dogs and sausages. www.hot-dog.org.   

Happy Hot Dog Month 🙂

Jul 11 – How To Dress an Egg

Posted on July 6, 2020 by Guy

My guest this week is Ned Baldwin Chef/Owner of Houseman restaurant in New York City.  Formerly Chef de Cuisne at Prune, this is his first book.
Learn more about Ned and the restaurant!  Follow the restaurant and Ned on Twitter

Learn to cook on e thing exceptionally well and you open the door to a multitude of possibilities, with no need for special equipment or fussy techniques. That’s the premise of this book.

Ned Baldwin, a home cook who taught himself to be an excellent chef, sees no reason why anyone else can’t do the same. By showcasing one ingredient per method, Baldwin introduces all the skills a cook will ever need to prepare endless pleasurable meals. Get a big, beefy hit from a hanger steak by cooking it in the oven; master salad-making with leafy greens; grill fillets of sea bass for crispy skin and moist flesh; roast an explosively juicy chicken (the secret is to cook it on the floor of the oven); bake leeks to soft perfection; and more.

Each dish is elaborated on in different ways to expand the technique into unlikely, inventive recipes that are jumping-off points for endless creativity.

NED BALDWIN earned an MA in sculpture from Yale and pursued a career in the visual arts and building, but the art and science of cooking fascinated him. He apprenticed with Alain Ducasse and Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and also worked with Tom Colicchio at Craft, before becoming Prune’s chef de cuisine. He is the owner of Houseman (the name means “house man’s food”) in New York City, where he lives. He is a fisherman, hiker, cycler, traveler, and an eater.
