Cooking Joyfully Together: A Conversation with Sonja and Alex Overheiser

In this lively episode of the Okayest Cook Podcast, hosts Chris Whonsetler and Corey Cole welcome guests Sonja and Alex Overheiser, self-taught home cooks and authors behind 'A Couple Cooks.' Broadcasting from the couple's Indiana kitchen, they discuss their non-traditional culinary journey and how they transitioned from eating convenience foods to becoming recipe developers. The Overheisers emphasize that cooking should be approachable and enjoyable rather than intimidating. They shed light on their latest cookbook, which promotes cooking as a shared activity, offering a unique feature where tasks can be split between two people. They discuss how the book encourages communal experiences in the kitchen, with sections for everyday meals, date nights, and gatherings. The episode concludes with the importance of preorder support and highlights the couple's successful integration of photography, noting that visual appeal plays a crucial role in cookbook presentation.
