The Voice Kitchen: where recipes & voice talent blend!

Welcome to ‘The Voice Kitchen’ podcast: Where Recipes and Voice Talent Blend! I’m your host, Cheryl Holling

From savory soups to sweet desserts, this podcast has something for everyone. Whether you're a seasoned chef or just starting out in the kitchen, ‘The Voice Kitchen’ is a place for voice actors and foodies to gather ‘round a virtual table and share their most special recipes! You don’t have to be a VO to tune in to The Voice Kitchen so grab a seat and let’s get cookin!

I hope you enjoyed our last episode where my guest, Julie Ayotte, made her family’s pudding cake recipe, or as it's known in her native Quebec, Gateau (Gaa-toe) Chomeur (show-mere) as it's a delicious holiday cake and comfort food for the these cold Winter months.

Today’s VO Chef, Tiffany Vanlandingham, will be sharing another delectable holiday dessert that has been a staple on her table for Thanksgiving since her college days when her mom created an Apple Almond Upside-down Pie. And if you love apples, sliced almonds and pie. Then you’re going to LOVE this recipe!

Before we delve into this incredible recipe, let me tell you a bit about my guest. Tiffany’s clients call her a “save-the-day superhero”. She has a BS in Communication Studies and Theatre, and an MS in Communication Sciences and Disorders, of which Tiffany brings her education and diverse work experience in tech, healthcare, manufacturing, nonprofit, and the arts, along with her work as a speech-language pathologist and special projects manager, into her work as a voice actor. She’s fond of stories where talented, yet oft-overlooked characters, find their way to each other, and together, they do extraordinary things. Now that’s definitely my kind of superhero!

So let’s don our aprons, and perhaps our capes as well, and welcome Tiffany Vanlandingham into The Voice Kitchen.
