It’s another sad day for the Hip Hop industry – iconic Hip-Hop Photographer Ricky Powell has passed away at the age of 59. So far, the cause of death has not yet been revealed by Powell’s team, but in regard to his passing, Powell’s manager and business partner did release a statement to Complex stating, “I just want to let everybody know he was a very special man, and he will be sorely missed.”
Throughout his lengthy career, Powell built a decorated CV for himself by working with house-hold names including celebrities and hip-hop stars alike such as: LL Cool J, Run DMC, Madonna, Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Public Enemy, and, most famously, the Beastie Boys. Thanks to his close association with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, he was endearingly known throughout the music industry as the honorary fourth Beastie Boy, especially after garnering a hilarious shout-out on their song “Car Thief.”
While known as an iconic photographer, Powell was also the author of several photo books, including The Individualist, Public Access, The Rickford Files, and more. The Brooklyn-born photographer also helmed the popular 90s show Rappin’ With the Rickster, in which he interviewed prominent artists of the time, including Doug E Fresh, Cypress Hill, and Kool Keith.
In the announcement of his death, the hip-hop has expressed its condolences over social media. See for yourself

Spaghetti Squash Carbonara
A lighter – NO PASTA – version of the classic Roman Spaghetti Carbonara! Artistic license has never tasted so good!
These days we’re all trying to eat healthier, and though, yes, this dish does have cream and cheese and bits of beautiful pork it is “lighter” being plant-based and gluten-free*! But all of that aside, even if you have no problem with pasta, this dish is just good ol’ delicious! So let’s learn how to cook that big yellow vegetable thing you’ve seen in supermarkets but had no idea what to do with it! You’ll learn tricks of the trade and how to make a dish that even the no-veggies-sworn-kids will LOVE!
*egg in the totally gluten-free version will not be breaded.
PRE-CLASS PREP: Cook the spaghetti squash – Should be perfectly al dente. 1. Wash the squash 2. Cut squash in half VERTICALLY, not length-wish. (Imagine cutting a football the short way.) 3. With a spoon, remove the seeds. 4. Put squash, cut side down, in a cookie sheet or shallow roasting pan with enough water to cover the bottom. 5. Bake at 400 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes, depending on size. (better to undercook it than overcook it, so if the sides start getting soft to the touch, take it out.) 6. Let cool. We’ll do the rest in class.
Shopping List: – 1 medium to large spaghetti squash – 4oz guanciale (If you can’t get it, get pancetta. If you can’t get that, bacon will do) – 8oz pecorino – 1-pint heavy cream – 12 Eggs – Black pepper in grinder (If you only have ground, that’ll do, but fresh is always better) – For crispy poached egg. – 1 cup flour – 1 cup breadcrumbs – Vegetable oil for frying YES, that’s a vegetable! It grows like spaghetti!
Chef Paul Gerard stated, “I’m thrilled to be able to be invited into people’s kitchens to teach them what I have learned over the years and help them prepare the same amazing meals that I have been serving to those in my restaurants. The past year has been very trying for so many in the hospitality business; if I can bring some attention to others that can offer virtual classes or events through ClassWorx like I am, I think we can increase interaction with others that are not getting out as much and bring some joy to them – and let’s face it, to me as well. I love cooking, and we all have to eat, so let’s be sure to eat what we love. I really hope to see you all on March first.”

About Chef Paul Gerard
Cook Like A Cook! Lifelong Chef and restaurateur Paul Gerard will teach you how to Cook Like A Cook! Even after 35 years in professional kitchens, Chef Paul still “works the line” and cooks in his restaurants. If you want to know the secrets and techniques of professional cooks, from how to prep to how to clean, Paul will take you through everything from basics to badass!
Chef, restaurateur, writer, rocker, and radio host, Paul Gerard got his start early in the kitchens of Brooklyn, New York. At 13, he started working as a busboy and was soon moved to the “back of the house” after he refused to get a haircut. Being a musician was much more important to him than cleaning tables, and it was an exile that would change his life. He came up in the crazy “Kitchen Confidential” culinary world of 1980’s basements and backrooms, and he loved it! They worked like dogs and partied like rock-stars. The dark counterculture took Paul right along with it. He climbed the ranks from dishwasher to prep cook, from sauté to grill, first cook to sous chef, eventually to running multi-million-dollar kitchens. Mentored by the bohemian vagabonds of the underground food world, Gerard soon grew – both as a cook and as an artist, approaching food as he did his art: studying, practicing, and reveling in every bit of the suffering and craft. At 21, he moved to New Orleans, where he worked for some of the greatest chefs the town has ever known. After 13 lucky years in The Big Easy went home to The Big Apple and worked his way back into the food capital of the world as a chef. He worked for Todd English, was Executive Chef for such NY institutions as Soho House and Soho Grand before making the leap to open his own places. Chef Gerard worked on a TV show with Anthony Bourdain and Tom Colicchio called Work the Line has had a show called “Eating Disorder” on Heritage Radio and is working on his memoir and cookbook.
