  Chef Christina Miros on Next Level Chef, Greek Food & Staying Calm Under Pressure | Feeding the Soul

  Aug 14, 202644 minS1

  What happens when you suddenly find yourself cooking under enormous pressure, surrounded by cameras, competition, and expectations? Chef Christina Miros joins Feeding the Soul to talk about finding her footing in the world of televised culinary competition, including her experience on Next Level Chef , and how she learned to fight the urge to become overwhelmed and simply focus on the food in front of her. We talk Greek food, culinary identity, competition, confidence, and the experiences that have helped shape Christina into the chef she is today. It’s a conversation about much more than cooking. It’s about trusting yourself when the pressure rises, staying connected to who you are, and continuing to move forward even when you have no idea what the next challenge is going to bring.

A lot.

Funny, personal, unpredictable, and full of heart, this episode is Dom in his natural habitat.
