No Recipe? No Problem: How to Cook Using Your Intuition


Listen Later

With COVID variants looming large, many of us are back to cooking at home. Some of us never stopped. And while we’re all for supporting local restaurants, ordering takeout everyday isn’t always in the best interest of our wallets—or our waistlines. So friend of the pod Wendy Wesley is here with some guidelines for stress-free cooking. We're talking no-recipes, use-whatever-you-have-on-hand cooking. 

Wendy is a registered and licensed dietitian and nutritionist based in St. Petersburg. She believes anyone can cook a great meal, with just a few guiding principles and intuition. And yes, she knows that sounds kinda woo-woo. But whenever Wendy’s on the podcast, she brings such practical advice to help us eat healthier and actually enjoy the process. So we’re in good hands, y’all. Here’s Dalia's conversation with Wendy, which we recorded in the spring.
