029 // How to Create an Epic Plate with Celebrity Chef Dan Churchill

The HYE Life Podcast

“Cooking is not what a chef does, it’s what you’re able to do in a convenient and accessible way with your resources.”

From writing his first book in his boardshorts on the shores of Sydney to owning a restaurant in NYC, Dan Churchill is not your average chef. In fact, he calls himself a “creative,” and there’s no argument there! With a background in exercise science and strength and conditioning, he noticed a huge disconnect between what nutritional guidelines were being given and how people were actually taught (or not taught) to apply them in the kitchen— enter Dan. After writing Dude Food, which helped him to build a personal brand overseas, he became internationally recognized for his holistic and refreshingly simplistic approach to healthy (insanely delicious) cooking. Now, as the founder of Charley Street, a Soho-based healthy food hot spot and personal favorite of mine, Dan continues to exercise his creative spirit in the kitchen and beyond, venturing into the world of podcasting and multimedia projects, from ebooks to TV hosting, to help spread his approach.
