This is the conversation I've been wanting to have since starting The Dinner Plan podcast. Finally, 30 episodes in, Meera Sodha's book is out in the US. We talked about burnout and finding yourself (and your love for food) again.
For the 25th episode of The Dinner Plan, it was such a delight to talk to @mariselmsalazar.bsky.social
"burnout isn’t proof that you’re working hard. it’s proof that something isn’t working." a post worth reading: substack.com/home/post/p-...
What's your ideal cooking situation? Alone? Music? Tbh, Melissa Clark's routine surprised me... thedinnerplan.substack.com/p/let-meliss...
Anyone try this yet? A shop near me is selling Chartreuse for NINETY FIVE dollars….
Lesley Enston's Belly Full is a remarkable book—it was so lovely to talk to her about her research process, her favorite simple, warming dinners for cold notes, and the cookbooks that inspire her. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...
reminder that I'm collating this list of all-time great cookbooks on Bookshop bookshop.org/lists/cookbo...
Loved talking to @hsiaochingchou.bsky.social about her advice for cooking with kids (and the wonderful book she wrote with her daughter!) Parents: leave your baggage at the door and let kids learn by doing! thedinnerplan.substack.com/p/bringing-k...

When everything is overwhelming, figuring out what’s for dinner can be too much. I’ve been posting what I’m cooking every week on IG but maybe it would be useful here too?
Cozy soup recipe + a book giveaway over on the newsletter too thedinnerplan.substack.com/p/a-cozy-sou...
Talked with Carla Lalli Music about the upsides of cooking for one, and why you don't need to try new recipes all the time. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...
Oooh…
My brother makes that one all the time!
Ooh haven’t tried that but love a parent obsession.
What’s your favorite Melissa Clark recipe?
rarely ever go half-sheet any more; would rather have the control of being able to pull different ingredients out of the oven when done!
Ooh I could definitely go for a fried egg sandwich right now!
What’s your go-to sick-day dinner? We are on day 6 of this cold and still miserable.
Really appreciate Jenny Rosenstrach’s approach to (part-time) vegetarian cooking podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
there's another one that's like a Champagne cocktail (lump sugar, Ango) but with... cayenne?
