The Splendid Table: Conversations & Recipes For Curious Cooks & Eaters

727: Cooking by Feel with Vivian Howard & Nik Sharma


Listen Later

When it comes to cooking, do you follow a recipe to a T, or do you do a little improv? This week, we learn a lot about cooking by feel with the star of the Peabody and Emmy-award-winning show A Chef’s Life, Vivian Howard. She talks to Francis about how she “deprogrammed’ herself from precision cooking and started thinking outside of a written recipe. Plus, she sticks around to help answer your cooking questions. Vivian’s latest book is This Will Make It Taste Good. Thenwe take advice from the scientist-turned-cook Nik Sharma, author of The Flavor Equationon how to be intuitive with our food.
