The pivotal moments in Kristen Kish’s life are chronicled on her tattooed arms — arms that can barely contain the moments and now also reflect an Emmy nomination. Kish’s unlikely trajectory — born in South Korea and adopted into a family in Michigan, a meteoric rise in the culinary world that took her from Top Chef contestant and winner to the full-circle moment of becoming the show’s host — has been full of unexpected turns. But as she reveals in her deeply personal new memoir, Accidentally on Purpose, it’s in the unplanned moments that life truly takes shape. Kish joins us with stylist, fashion designer, author and friend Stacy London to talk about the book and the backstory of her journey in food and in life, about coming out and finding love, and more. And she shares the lessons she has learned along the way: there is no map, accidents happen, curveballs come, be open.
“She’s written a recipe for a life worth living: with purpose, curiosity, forgiveness, luck, and of course—what every recipe relies on—love.” ― Stacy London, co-host Wear Whatever the F You Want on Amazon Prime
