  • Stellar

    This show is just spectacular. Unassuming, elegant, real, and *best* interlude music. I look forward to it eagerly, and, once listening, I feel at home.

    I love this show. Evan is the replacement for Lynne Rosetto Kasper. She talks about food the same way Lynne use to, in a way that makes my mouth water. She also discuses serious food issues that give me pause and make me want to change my way of food consumption.

  • love this show, but rethink the split

    I feel the show suffers from being split up into two episodes, don’t see the reason for it, and I’m missing the market report every week, still it’s a meaningful part of the Los Angles cultural life.

  • Bring back long episodes!

    This was my favorite podcast to put on when I needed the extra oomph to drive an hour but now they are in 25-35 minute segments? Not the full show? Why?

  • Why two installments?

    I’ve always enjoyed this but they changed it to twice a week which is too much even though the duration has been cut in half. I have too many other podcasts that I need to listen to and now I end up putting this one on the back burner, no pun intended.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Pickles That Power Ukrainian Food
Q: To research the book, you returned to Ukraine for a road trip. What was it like going back? What did you see? What changed you and what inspired you?
Voloshyna describes traveling to Ukraine by ambulance with a volunteer organization, feeling at home after crossing the border, and discovering new places, food, and friendships.
The Pickles That Power Ukrainian Food
Q: You talk about sour as the vital energy of the Ukrainian kitchen, why?
Voloshyna says the acidity of pickles, ferments, and kvass cuts through the richness of a hearty cuisine built around grains, root vegetables, and pork.
Eric Schlosser on the Mystery Meat Slipping Into Our Food Chain
Q: What can the average shopper do?
Schlosser advises people who eat beef to know where it came from and avoid meat of unknown origin when they cannot establish whether adequate testing was done.
It's Soup Season!
Q: I love how many categories of soup exist in Korean cuisine. Can you give us a rundown of the different types and explain their differences?
The guests describe guk as brothier, tang as having a more even balance of liquid and solids, jjigae as stew, and jeongol as a larger-format hot pot. The categories can shift as ingredients and proportions change.
It's Soup Season!
Q: So let's get into it. The first spot you discuss is Monsieur Marcel in the Original Farmers Market at Third and Fairfax. You call their French onion soup a hug in a bowl. Why?
Shah says the bustling market setting and the substantial, savory soup make it feel welcoming. Monsieur Marcel serves a classic version with plenty of onions, herb croutons, Gruyère, and Comté.
