We have started a podcast! Chefs Jody and Kirstie, along with their friend Amy have created the podcast Chef Over Your Shoulder. It is a podcast about the connections we make through cooking. Pairing professional Chefs with a burn-to-the-bottom-of-the-pan expert creates the perfect “recipe” to demystify the kitchen and bring back the joy of cooking and connecting…without the pressure.
It’s not about becoming a gourmet chef. It’s about why food matters in the first place, because it brings people together. Each episode is filled with cozy stories, nostalgic family recipes, kitchen wisdom, helpful recommendations, and a lot of laughter. Every conversation feels like a visit with friends, comforting, funny, and candid.

The Connection of Cooking
“We consider ourselves Grammas in training. Cooking connects us. The biggest compliment that Kristie and I ever get, is when someone says a dish reminds them of their grandmother; it gives us goosebumps.” – Jody O’Malley
“We are also professional eaters. Always thinking of the next meal. We love making something out of nothing.” – Kirstie Herbstreit
More Than Chefs: The Science of Cuisine
- Science-Backed Cooking: Jody loves to back everything they teach with the science of cooking.
- Resourceful Cooking: They love making something out of nothing and sharing it with everyone.
