Episode 54: The Joy of Cooking with Samin Nosrat

“Our senses are so fundamental. A lot of our memories are triggered by our senses – a feeling or a taste. ” — Samin Nosrat

This week, Doree and Kate celebrate the 1st anniversary of the pod, discuss cooking as self-care, and share some favorite recipes. Plus Kate gives an update on her mission to get jacked, and Doree details how she’s getting organized before the baby comes.

Then they welcome Samin Nosrat, cook, teacher, NY Times columnist, bestselling author, and host of Netflix’s Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat. She talks about her journey from cooking apprentice to television show host, her kitchen must-haves, how she keeps things cozy at home, and the product she uses to combat thigh chafing.

  • Flank Steak

    • My mom made me a little cookbook a few years ago with her go-to “home cooking” recipes, including this recipe for flank steak that came from my grandmother, who let’s just say was not exactly known for her culinary talents.

      • Ingredients: One flank steak, ½ bottle Wishbone Italian dressing

    • Instructions:

      1. Marinate overnight/all day in a nonmetallic container.

      2. Broil/barbecue on each side for approximately 5-10 minutes.

      3. Slice thinly against the grain.
