Jam Jars, Bear Stew & Fire Eating?! Meet Chef Autumn Day
From bear stew to blown sugar sculptures, today’s episode is one hell of a culinary ride. Marley chats with the wildly talented (and wildly entertaining) Chef Autumn Day—private chef, artist, fire-eater (yes, really), and founder of The Seasonal Bounty.
Raised on a homestead in rural New York and now based on the sunny shores of Florida, Autumn brings her from-the-earth roots to everything she creates. This convo spans edible glitter, halibut dreams, root cellars, roadkill (yes, again), and why plant-based doesn’t mean boring. Her work is grounded in reverence—for ingredients, for process, and for the people she feeds.
Also? She was literally in the circus. So there’s that.
Inside the Episode:
- How Autumn went from glassblowing and fire-eating to private cheffing
- Her family’s wild garden-to-table tradition (think: neighbors, corn soup, & 200 jars of salsa)
- Why fish shouldn’t be fishy—and how to spot the real deal
- The art-meets-science magic of sugar sculpting
- Why reconnecting with your food matters more than ever
- Yes, we talk about skinning bears. Buckle up.
This one’s got grit, heart, and a ton of flavor—plus a few moments that’ll make you spit out your coffee. If you’ve ever been curious about food as a sacred practice (or just how to make a potato 30 different ways), you’re in for a treat.
