This episode of Savoring Sonoma: The Hour presents a deep and powerful - sometimes funny - conversation with chef Douglas Keane centered on his new book Culinary Leverage: A Journey Through the Heat. Through extreme challenges, both emotional and professional, Keane remains determined and extremely human as he develops as a chef and as a person, pulling no punches when relating his own and others’ foibles and successes . It’s a story of family (including dogs), mentors, knocks and dreams, resulting in a new construct for a business many celebrate but don’t really understand.
For more than a decade, chef Douglas Keene has been working to reopen his award-winning restaurant Cyrus in the heart of the Alexander Valley. He’s a Best Chef California James Beard Award and Top Chef Masters winner who is unafraid of making chicken wings at a casino or burgers at a grill. As he steps back into the spotlight for the rebirth of the first restaurant in Sonoma County to garner a pair of Michelin stars host Clark Wolf talks to Keene about his Midwestern roots, cooking in top kitchens in Manhattan, discovering Sonoma County and a whole lot more on Savoring Sonoma, the Hour.Chef Evelyn Cheatham, founder and executive director of Santa Rosa’s Worth Our Weight Culinary Apprenticeship Program, returns to Mouthful to talk about upcoming events and the extraordinary year WOW has had

Christopher Herrera is a seventh generation Sonoma County farmer who learned a great deal of what he knows about farming, not from his parents but from YouTube! What he learned and the methods he employs are both completely modern and extremely ancient. The amount he and his brother Andrew, with the help of family and friends, has accomplished on the new property they’re working since February of this year is significant. Their Deep Roots Farm is by the side of our County’s third busiest road, where folks can see it and find it and come shop and support it. This modern model of next generation family farming, so crucial to our future, is the center of this conversation with host Clark Wolf.This week, Mouthful welcomes sommelier and wine entertainer/educator Christopher Sawyer for a freewheeling exploration of all things wine, surely the first of many appearances he’ll make on the show.
