This week, its all-hands-on cooking! First, we sit with Chef and Chopped judge, Maneet Chauhan, to talk about how she started as a chef and her obsession with food. She tells us all about the seasonal foods in Punjab and flavors and aromas that one can expect during the winter and shares her fondest memories in India. She sticks around to answer your questions and leaves us with great tips and tricks like adding whole spices to your broth to steaming fish in a banana leaf. Her latest book is Chaat: Recipes from the Kitchens, Markets, and Railways of India: A Cookbook. Then we have a real talk with Dawn Perry about getting out of that cooking funk and taking the pressure off cooking. She leaves us with recipes that you’ll want to keep in our back pocket. Dawn Perry’s book is Ready, Set, Cook. Then, we introduce the newest member of The Splendid Table family, our new podcast The One Recipe, and its host, Jesse Sparks.
