    Can’t believe the host, Evan, was recently promoting a total predator, Rene Redzepi, when the info about his misbehavior has been out there for many years! While pretending to be ‘woke’ this Karen is complicit in his crimes by promoting him and should be cancelled immediately unless she demonstrates true contrition by giving her hosting job to a person of color immediatelly who doesn’t share in her white priviledge! ! Otherwise she is just performatively woke and should be cancelled immediately!... more

  • Vegetable Gardens

    In late 1958 my parents bought their first home in a block and half subdivision built on a former walnut orchard. My dad landscaped everything with his brother and the priority and money went into the front yard (the lawn was dichondra!) but the backyard was a giant vegetable garden... we even had rows of corn. We missed it so much in the early '60s when they ripped it out and landscaped with grass.

  • Redzepi

    Never ever mention him or have him on the show.

    May he go away and join Batalie and the rest.

    And Evan, before you worship any chef or anyone do the research.

  • Evan Klein is a great interviewer

    I am so glad I discovered this podcast. It makes me want to move to LA! I love learning the history of all the different people in the Southern California food system. I also love the book author and researcher guests. Evan is one of the best interviewers I’ve ever heard.

  • Some good info but host is condescending

    Host is always dismissive about vegetarian or vegan foods, so is annoying and frustrating to listen to

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The spice trade, reimagined
Q: Asha, what makes the fennel and cumin varieties unique and how do you think they best shine in recipes?
The cumin is dry-farmed from the edge of the Thar Desert, and the fennel comes from a seed-saving process that led to a uniquely sweet, plump variety cultivated over four years by a coriander farmer.
The spice trade, reimagined
Q: Sana, could you describe briefly the pepper pork, is it stewed or sautéed?
It is braised with tamarind, curry leaves, fennel, and black pepper, cooked until the pork is fall-off-the-bone tender.
When did kids become such picky eaters?
Q: What practical parenting tips does Veit share for encouraging diverse eating habits today?
Veit's approach emphasizes parental confidence in kids' ability to learn to love varied foods, exposing children to foods during meals, using positive reinforcement, and avoiding constant pressure or punitive tactics, along with maintaining consistent family meals when possible.
When did kids become such picky eaters?
Q: What role did Clara Davis's experiments play in shaping parental beliefs about feeding?
Davis's experiments suggested that children could select balanced meals when left to their own devices, but public interpretation twisted this into advice that parents should not guide children's eating, leading to a conflicted dynamic between nutrition advice and parenting practices.
When did kids become such picky eaters?
Q: How did the shift in views about childhood nutrition influence what families ate at dinner tables?
Nutrition science and a focus on measured meals pushed families toward bland, highly processed options and separate 'children's foods,' reducing shared family meals and increasing reliance on convenient, ready-made items.
