Story #044 - Danielle Benson
GUEST’S NAME: Danielle Benson
CULINARY SCHOOL AFFILIATION: Georgian College, Ontario, Canada
BIO: Chef Danielle Benson is from Ontario, Canada and first got started in the culinary industry in 2015. She had been looking to find a better relationship with food and control over food after struggling with mental health and an eating disorder. Chef Benson wanted to take her love of food and cooking to the next level, so she enrolled in culinary school at the Owen Sound campus of Georgian College where she learned a lot about culinary techniques. While only there for one year, she feels she learned the basics, however she was left wanting to learn more!
Chef Benson’s philosophy is that food is not only what fuels our bodies, but is also a creative outlet, and therefore knowing how to prepare it should be general knowledge. As a result, she created and hosts the Kitchen Survival Guide podcast. The first series of the show’s episodes focuses on food culture and history to help the listeners understand where their food comes from and how it has affected humanity throughout the years. Danielle plans for the show to eventually evolve into sharing culinary techniques, food science, and much, much, more. As a stay at home mother of 3, Danielle’s love of food and cooking is currently focused on her family, her podcast, and as a budding entrepreneur selling Epicure spices and cookware from home.
