  • A charming deep dive into the basics of cooking better

    I absolutely love this podcast, which attempts to justify how one can cook “intuitively”. As someone who loves understanding the very fundamental and basic understandings that drive good cooking, this was absolutely a joy for me!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Congee (w/ Calvin Eng)
Q: When does the salt and MSG come into the process?
We just season it on the pick up just to make sure whatever ratio of water we have is not overseasoned or underseasoned.
Congee (w/ Calvin Eng)
Q: What are the basic ingredients to Congee?
Rice and water, that's it, you got Congee.
Congee (w/ Calvin Eng)
Q: Can you describe your ideal bowl of congee?
My ideal bowl is plain made with jasmine rice, seasoned simply with salt and MSG, topped with fine accoutrements like ginger and scallions.
Cake (w/ Sasha Piligian)
Q: How do you make an oil cake?
With an oil cake, you'll typically have your wet ingredients in a bowl and your dry ingredients in a bowl. The wet ingredients would include sugar, eggs, and oil.
Cake (w/ Sasha Piligian)
Q: What is your ideal cake?
I have like two ideal cakes. One is like a super light airy sponge cake, which uses egg whites as the lifter mostly. And I am like always a sucker for a really good olive oil cake.
