Ben Shewry & Sinkane

Darin sits down with our good pal all the way from Melbourne, Australia; Ben Shewry, whose new book Uses for my Obsessions: A (Chef’s) Memoir is a fantastic, unique look into his journey through the culinary world. He offers up a lot of personal philosophies, a lot of great stories, and shows how Fugazi helped him learn Thai cooking. We've also included a link to one of the playlists that is included in his book.And then we dip into the archives for a legendary performance from Sinkane, who has some new music out now and whose last album We Belong has been in heavy rotation at our house.As the year rolls on, please consider supporting HRN.
