Our latest podcast episode sees co-hosts Phil Wilson and Dan Clapson joined once again by food writer Carmen Cheng as well as special guest Jo Notkin of Zoe Ford Pantry.

Few chefs have made the most of their time on Top Chef Canada like Montreal's Jo Notkin. The long-time caterer became a household name during Season 8 of the series and since last week, the chef has launched a wide array of unique baking mixes for dishes like carrot cake, brownies and more. More recently, Notkin debuted a line of barbecue baking mixes to encourage people to think beyond grilled meats and veggies when it comes to their outdoor cooking.

The chef also shares some candid stories of the Top Chef Canada casting process and places her bets on who will be named "Canada's Top Chef" on the Season 9 finale, which airs on June 7.

The More Than Maple Syrup podcast is available to stream and subscribe on all major podcast services, including Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and Spotify.
