    episode five: low & slow

    Send us a text In episode five, I finally name the monologue series: Low & Slow. We'll discuss in depth how to spatchcock and grill a whole chicken (and the perfect seasonal summer salad to serve along side) my favorite way to make caesar dressing at home, and my new found obsession with mastering the Roman pastas. Listeners wanna know:  What are some garden veggies that will give me the most mileage in my home garden? What are some other pantry staples I can make at home besides the vinaigrette you're always droning on about? What is your go to brine recipe for pickled goods? And as always, some fun quick tips to elevate your home cooking game. How to take the heat off raw onions and garlic, how to instantly diffuse stress and overwhelm in the middle of cooking, how to reheat your leftovers at next level status, and so much more. Please enjoy!
