This episode features a conversation with Pamela Salzman, a cookbook author and cooking teacher. The convo was so good, we thought we’d make it a two parter! In the first part, Shira and Pamela discuss meal prep and easy sheet pan meals. Pamela talks about her sustainable approach to meal prep, and her favorite components she likes to prep in advance, such as sauces, marinades, vegetables, and salad dressings. Tune in next week for part two, where they will discuss Pamela's strategies for healthy family meals and how she dealt with her picky eating son.
