This is the conversation I've been wanting to have since starting The Dinner Plan podcast. Finally, 30 episodes in, Meera Sodha's book is out in the US. We talked about burnout and finding yourself (and your love for food) again.

Lesley Enston's Belly Full is a remarkable book—it was so lovely to talk to her about her research process, her favorite simple, warming dinners for cold notes, and the cookbooks that inspire her. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Loved talking to @hsiaochingchou.bsky.social about her advice for cooking with kids (and the wonderful book she wrote with her daughter!) Parents: leave your baggage at the door and let kids learn by doing! thedinnerplan.substack.com/p/bringing-k...

When everything is overwhelming, figuring out what’s for dinner can be too much. I’ve been posting what I’m cooking every week on IG but maybe it would be useful here too?

Talked with Carla Lalli Music about the upsides of cooking for one, and why you don't need to try new recipes all the time. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

spending some time with the 1937 Cafe Royal Cocktail book. They sure do some interesting things with Champagne... See: the Gloria: glass of bubbles + 2 tsp creme de banane. Serve with fresh banana slices and ice.

I knew that starting a podcast on my own would be an uphill climb. But getting to talk to cookbook authors every week is a dream. And while I wish everyone would recommend it to a friend so this thing can grow into something really sustainable, I'm happy with how much I've learned since Sept.

If you're thinking about changing up your dinner planning routine in 2025, I highly recommend watching Zoe Barrie Soderstrom's videos. Smart restaurant-inspired ingredient prep.

I've been struggling a bit with family holiday traditions as my family goes through a rough time. But found lots of inspiration and joy in this chat with Toni Tipton-Martin and Morgan Bolling of Cook's Country.
