Customer Reviews
1 April 2023 Salt
Your body needs salt as your metabolism needs Iodine, iodine is what’s important in salt, without iodine you will acquire a deficiency and often a goiter. Paprika, you might try using Aleppo peppers… A defuser allows you to use ceramics on a stove top, I use my ceramic tanjine on my stove top using a defuser. A cast iron trivet works well too… 😉
Confused and disappointed
I called your call line twice to tell you about a cookie recipe that uses yeast instead of baking powder or soda, and no one has called me back about it. You had mentioned on a previous episode about not knowing any cookie recipes that use yeast as a leavening or flavor element, and expressed doubt that any such recipe existed. I would love to share my recipe with you and your listeners, because my family loves these cookies. I hope this prompts a phone call from you.
More culturally diverse but not as accurate
I’ve listened to this podcast for a few years now and frequented their other channels as well. As someone who grew up in Asia and loves food from all corners of the world, I appreciate what Milk Street brings to the American food education table.
However, I often find the information the hosts provide, especially during Q&A, regarding non-western culinary ingredients/tips highly speculative, misleading, or completely wrong. It’s not that they’re not trying their best, but without the right background/perspectives, a guess is at the best a guess. Would love to see (hear) someone from a different cultural background to give better answers.
