The Food Podcast Lindsay Cameron Wilson

This episode is for all of you who love the Christmas season - the traditions, the decorations, the nostalgia and the baking. It’s also for those who have softly cried on Christmas, because the traditions, the decorations, the nostalgia and the baking have pushed you over the edge. We understand, we’ve been there. Here you will find solace, comfort, and a primer from Vicki Grant - a mother, writer and Christmas Guru - on how to avoid those inevitable tears. So cozy up with a blanket, wrap yourself in Jenn Grant’s Christmas album that’s sprinkled throughout the episode, and breathe. All will be merry and bright, I promise.

Jenn Grant’s Forever on Christmas Eve Album 

Vicki Grant

Vicki says a Christmas party isn’t a Christmas party without Grease Babies. I wrote about them here - as for the recipe, here’s the gist: begin with white bread, crusts cut off. Add a teaspoon of undiluted Campbell’s Mushroom Soup to each slice and spread edge to edge. Roll slice and wrap with bacon. Bake until crispy but still gooey on the inside. They’ll be gone in seconds.

Kate Inglis is a multi-creative - a writer, photographer, a brand strategist, a champion thrifter with the best tickle trunk around. She’s a magical host of workshops, of outdoor gatherings, she’s a lover of the outside, a skier, a mountain biker, and a wood chopper. And now, a person who’s been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that required her to overhaul her life. Kate is here today to tell us about this diagnosis, how it dragged her through the fire, and what it feels like to be living on the other side.




We discuss:

Kate Inglis’s website

Kate’s Instagram

Dr. Mark Hyman - functional medicine and food

Dr. Andrew Huberman - sleep

Wim Hof - cold and breath therapy

Chef Laura Rodriguez - 'anti-inflammatory comfort food'—everyone is unique, and food protocols vary, but she hits the broad strokes

The Happy Pear - Irish Sea sunrise dips




Kate’s favourite recipes right now:

Raw Oreo Cookies — I have these in my freezer all the time. I had googled 'sugar-free dairy-free grain-free gluten-free cookies' as a grumpy joke and now these are a staple. The cookie dough and cream filling are made in the bullet blender. Best eaten straight out of the freezer. Melty and rich and so lovely.

Savory Chickpea Pancakes—I googled these after having them in a restaurant in Toronto, with a warm roasted beet salad on top. These are so fast and easy to make, and could easily be made sweet instead of savory. Made a little thicker, they make almost a flatbread—an excellent replacement for a pita and filled with pork tenderloin or chicken and (cashew cream) tzatziki with cucumber. So yummy.

Corn-Free Cornbread—Another chickpea flour triumph, found while experimenting to make a Thanksgiving stuffing. Such a good feeling to find that as well as a delicious vegan gravy—which combined, these two cover me for all the fall and winter holidays.

This episode is all about leaning into what brings us comfort. Comfort is different for everyone; it’s all about finding out what resonates with you. Teacher and multi-creative force Sherrie Graham weighs in on her ultimate comfort - old episodes of the television show Murder, She Wrote. For her son, it’s gaming. I love to make quince paste. My husband plays D&D. We’re all different. There’s beauty in those differences, and privilege that we get to choose comfort in the first place. Celebrate it, if you can.





We discuss:

Murder, She Wrote starring Angela Landsbury

Writer Celeste Ng

In this episode writer and political organizer Anna Lee Hirschi shares her essay Having your Cake. The essay prompted thoughts on food as an escape, as a tool for sharing, and the importance of cherishing food all alone, just for the pleasure of it. We dip into the wisdom of Claudia Roden and we eat a Sephardic orange and almond cake. There’s a moment with M.F.K Fisher and a tangerine, and a peanut butter sandwich with my dad. Thanks for listening.

In this episode I talk with Kris Warman, a cookbook reviewer living in Halifax, NS, whose weekly meals are shaped by recipes tested from the cookbooks that come through her door. Kris has amassed hundreds of cookbooks in the process, and together they have become one of her many collections. I set out to ask Kris what makes makes a great cookbook, but we ended up exploring what it means to collect things, what stewardship involves, and what it takes to let these collections go. It’s an honest, funny, soul searching and very flavourful conversation, this week, on The Food Podcast.

In this, our second episode of the season, we patch in abstract artist Nicola Bennet from her studio in New Zealand. Nicola’s art practice is fed by food. For Nicola it all begins in the kitchen where she gets to know an ingredient -  like ripe apricots, black truffles, or feijoas - then she cooks with the ingredient, tastes it, inhales it, perhaps squishes it in her hands until a connection is made. Then, she heads into her studio and begins the process of creating a painting, usually as big as Nicola, inspired by what’s on the plate. We explore this process, how it came to be, how her senses inform each painting, and how Nicola knows when the work ‘tastes just right.’ This episode is a sensory explosion, a trip to a home by a waterfall, it’s a riot of colour, of flavour, and a chat with a friend. 

Thanks for Listening.
