In this debut episode of Kitchen Smarts, Hava Volterra—CEO of Parsley Software, chef and engineer —sits down with her husband, Richard Pieters. With over 30 years of experience in the chemical and biotechnology industries, Richard brings an unexpected but fascinating perspective to the science of scaling recipes —both in food and in industrial manufacturing.

Together, they explore how smart thinking—about ingredients, process, and equipment—can make or break both a dinner recipe and a manufacturing run. Whether you're scaling up a salmon cake recipe or engineering the next eco-friendly compound, this conversation serves up insight, humor, and a fresh perspective on what it really means to cook with smarts.
