On this episode of Ingredient Insiders, hosts John and Andrea from Chef’s Warehouse welcome Chef Amanda Rockman, Chef and Owner of Rockman Coffee and Bakeshop in Austin, Texas.
Amanda shares the story of her remarkable culinary journey, from working in the demanding kitchens of Michelin-starred fine dining restaurants to opening and operating her own neighborhood bakery. She discusses the challenges and rewards of making the transition from fine dining to entrepreneurship and how her experiences have shaped the way she approaches baking and hospitality today.
The featured ingredient of the episode is one that may surprise you: prunes. Amanda makes the case for this often-overlooked fruit, sharing why she loves cooking and baking with prunes and how their natural sweetness, richness, and versatility can add something special to both sweet and savory recipes.
Amanda also takes listeners behind the scenes of her experience competing on Beat Bobby Flay, sharing what it was like to step into the kitchen and compete against one of the most recognizable chefs on television.
From fine dining to neighborhood baking, this episode is a celebration of culinary evolution, unexpected ingredients, and the courage it takes to forge your own path in the food world.
