All pie, all the time on this week’s episode as we review Erin McDowell’s newest, The Book on Pie. Erin McDowell is a food stylist and baker extraordinaire. You may have seen where she teaches weekly baking classes on Food Network Kitchen, and host the series Bake it Up a Notch for Food52. She has this warm and genuine personality, which we love. Just as importantly, she is an expert at baking, which is why I was excited to try her book. We baked all sorts of pies, from custard to pretzel to birthday cake. If you’re looking to dig deep into the subject of all things pie, this is your book!

No surprise to anyone who’s listened to our podcast, the Dinner Sisters love beans. This episode is all about the humble bean salad. Which when done right is a satisfying, nutritious meal that can actually hold up to a couple days in the fridge. The cannellini bean salad is pretty classic, but has a fun addition of croutons to keep you crunching. Blood oranges are a fun citrus twist in the Bon Appetit recipe. Finally, we have a simple, classic Portuguese salad that uses a few simple ingredients for a bean salad that satisfies.

Sometimes dinner comes at you fast; one minute you were having your breakfast coffee, the next minute you’re starving and it’s five o’clock. Nights like that are when having a few quick, pantry or freezer-friendly meals really come in handy. Take Nigella Lawson’s Corn Chowder with Tortillas- a bag corn from the freezer, a couple of the scallions from the crisper, chips, and cheese make a tasty meal in minutes. No shopping necessary. We like to keep shrimp in the freezer just for recipes like Damn Delicious’ Shrimp with Butter and Garlic. Pasta and butter are best friends for a reason. Our last recipe is the reason why one-skillet meals are so popular. Less dishes, lots of taste with smoke paprika bringing it all home. These quick and easy meals are one more tool in that toolkit for busy nights.

Every night can't be pasta night...or can it? We're trying this week with all sorts of noodles from all over the globe. If you have a stocked pantry, you're half way to making a lot of these dishes. A meat sauce from Somalia has an Italian influence, a pasta sauce is creamy without cream, and lo mein isn't just for take out any more. Consider this a personal challenge to eat more sauce and noodles. Just tell the family the Dinner Sisters says it was fine.

This week is a little different- we have our friend and collaborator, Tara, doing an interview. Lucky for us, it’s all about one of our favorite things, cheese. She’s talking with Anne Saxelby, the author of a delicious new book, The New Rules of Cheese: A Freewheeling and Informative Guide. We thought the whole conversation was so interesting and informative. At end all we wanted was a big cheese plate using all of the new rules we learned. Thanks to Tara and Anne, for the fantastic interview.
