In this episode, we sit down with Hiroaki Takeda—a Japanese-Canadian chef and multidisciplinary creative whose journey has taken him from rural Canada to interning at one of the worlds most iconic restaurants, Noma, and on to lead one of the top rated, Michelin-recognized restaurants in Estonia.
We talk about the creative process beyond the plate, finding freedom in structure, the power of systemizing your craft, and the importance of leveraging your lived experiences to expand your creativity. Hiro shares how he weaves together his cultural identity, artistic disciplines, and personal rituals to bring intention and artistry into everything he does, as well as creating across cultures without appropriating.
Whether you’re a creative professional, aspiring chef, or someone seeking inspiration to take the next big leap in your journey, this conversation will leave you nourished and ready to do the work required to live out your own fed & fulfilled dreams.
