Hi All!
Today I packed one of my mugs and headed over to one of the best coffee spots in the area, Café Volan. It was like a little springtime voice was in my head saying, “Get out of the house!” Sure enough, the voice was right and we got lucky. We ran into Andrew Scrivani a local resident, former New Yorker, and oh yea, longtime food photographer and contributor to The New York Times.
You can check out the live video above if you missed us outside Volan, and make sure to follow Andrew on Instagram (andrewscrivani) or visit his website. He’s also here on Substack so check him out at
and give him a follow.Have a rising food content creator in your life? Be sure to share this post because Andrew gives great tips we could all use.
Here’s a little taste of what Andrew teaching:
I turned off the camera pretty quickly today but we kept walking and talking on food, life and emotions. Emotions and memory are what fuel humans. Replenishing ourselves with “comfort” food connects us to those memories, and to those emotions. Andrew still remembers how his great-grandmother’s sauce touched him, shaping him to this very day.
I’m hoping we’ll have a chance to go live with Andrew and Milo again soon and when we do, I promise I’ll leave the camera on longer.
Go check out Andrew’s links up at the top, and don’t forget to call your grandma and thank her for all the times she made magic, the kind that might just last you a lifetime.
