  • Cooking & Culture "Nerds," This Is For You

    And of course, cocktails/wine/spirits that would pair well.

  • Food? Drink? Yes

    First food podcast in years I’ve really enjoyed. Two great food and drink professionals speaking about things they love. Recipes really strike a balance between classical nostalgia, practical home application and just good food.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Steak au Poivre
Q: What makes a peppercorn the centerpiece of steak au poivre?
The peppercorns provide both the heat and the aromatic backbone; when cracked and heated, they release essential oils and piperine, which drive the flavor and aroma of the dish.
