Do I Even Cook

This episode I'm making a Molly Baz recipe for dinner for the first time! I'll be dissecting the recipe as we move through the episode. Talking about my habit of eating things that have "expired", how much I love ASMR, and why I weigh all of my food. Enjoy!

Join me in the kitchen as a forage for yet another afternoon salad. This week I'm working through my New Years Eve party leftovers. We'll be adding to a bed of red leaf lettuce:

• Cottage cheese & lemon dressing
• Summer vegetables mixed with olive oil & parsley
• Leftover shaved fennel & sourdough crouton salad with pecans

I discuss my approach to salads and salt/fat/acid/heat. Enjoy!

Taylor and Katie finally sit down to discuss all things food (and life)!!!  They discuss what’s been on their plate lately, what’s been playing on their AirPods, and what their eyes have been ogling. Annnd since it’s almost Thanksgiving they cover their menu favorites and some very ~hot takes~ on the holiday.

Katie speaks with Taylor on the idea of cooking with sustainability and simplicity in mind. Katie’s food evolution takes us through the era of fast food to vegetarian and veganism, landing on cooking that is built from an ‘Everlasting Meal’. Katie is the food writer behind Cooking with Leeks where she shares stories of her creative process in the kitchen and maintains that mistakes enhance the journey.

In 2010, Heather Francis changed her life by completing her PhD in medical sciences and embarking on a new journey that would lead her to be an internationally acclaimed scientific researcher. Over 20 years of developing expertise in hepatology has taken her around the world and introduced a new love and appreciation of food. However, with her recent move to Indianapolis, she is still searching for a perfect "West Texas" taco. On this episode, Dr. Francis discusses how food can help or harm our livers, how intelligent and underrated the liver is, and ways that we can be more mindful of what we consume to improve our gastro-health. 

The new kind-of-food podcast brought to you by Taylor Francis, host and founder of Do I Even Cook. Join us in the coming weeks to hear creatives in the food industry describe their journey to impact the food industry through non-traditional paths.
