Danny McCubbin: The Good Kitchen

This week, in the last of our summer holiday specials, we head to
the Good Kitchen in Sicily with community chef and adventurer in
all things good, Danny McCubbin.


His story is one of a leap of faith, driven by a sense of purpose
coursing through his veins and cultivated by his 17 years working
with Jamie Oliver, including mentoring chefs at Fifteen who had
come from challenging backgrounds.


Gilly first met Danny at San Patrignano, an extraordinary
rehabilitation community committed to building a better
society on a beautiful farm in Northern Italy. He spoke very
little Italian then, but Gilly watched in awe how he communicated
through something much more primal, a massive heart, and of
course, food. You can listen to that interview for the delicious
podcast here.


He’s done the same, against all odds, in Mussomeli, Sicily, and
his book, The Good Kitchen, Love and connection Through Food,
tells that story.
