  • Lovely podcast!

    I look forward to new episodes of The Dinner Plan! It inspires creativity with great interviews with guests, and I love that there is a caller question every episode with kind of a “chopped” situation for the guests and host to solve given the ingredients of the caller’s kitchen. A very relaxing, inspiring podcast, all home cooking enthusiasts should give it a listen!

    As a home cook and cookbook addict, this is the best podcast to listen to while making dinner. Maggie has such a calming energy, and her guests are all super fun. I never need an excuse to buy more cookbooks, but now I have one.

  • Plan dinner better with help from experts

    I love this podcast. Maggie is an excellent host and finds amazing chefs and recipe developers to interview, and subsequently makes dinner easier to get on the table. I love that she also has a newsletter on substack so that I can see what cookbooks, recipes, and cooking tools they recommend during the podcast, and I can refer back to it after listening. If you love food and cooking, or are intimidated and exhausted by food and cooking, this podcast is for you.

Meera Sodha on Breaking Through Burnout in the Kitchen
Q: What advice do you have for listeners who find themselves feeling some degree of burnout but want to get back a love for food?
Start with rediscovering what you love to eat and take a step back from cooking to find pleasure in it again. It's a gradual process of reclaiming joy in cooking.

You could make a stock with that carcass first, or just throw it right in to make congee, depending on your preference for picking through bones.
Let Melissa Clark Solve Your Pantry Problems
Q: Can you tell us about the recipe development process from like the spark of an idea to when it goes in the newspaper?
The brainstorming happens constantly, and it's often seasonally inspired. I jot down notes when I cook something good, which becomes the basis of a recipe.
