    I Have a New Diagnosis... What Do I Cook Now?!

    We get a lot of questions in our inbox from listeners with dietary restrictions. And sometimes, we can absolutely handle them using the expertise right in our test kitchen – no dairy? No meat? No nightshades? No problem. But not all restrictions are that simple. So we tapped registered dietician Desiree Nielsen to answer questions about cooking low-FODMAP, diabetes-friendly, and more. If you're experiencing changes in your health, make sure you contact your doctor and/or a Registered Dietician to make a plan that's right for you. Recipes featured: Super-Seedy Gluten Free Bread Blueberry Chia Seed Jam Gluten Free Carrot Cake Vegan Cacio e Pepe Black Vinegar Chicken with Radishes Kate's Feel Good Food Plan 30 Minute Green Pasta with Kale Velvety Vegan Chocolate Mousse Vegan Sausage Stuffed Acorn  Squash Cashew Alfredo

    Meet the Parents... and their Dietary Restrictions

    Rachel's the kind of cook who free-forms it – no two dinners turn out the same, and she likes it that way. But she’s setting up a dinner for her parents and her partner’s parents to meet each other for the first time, and she wants everything to be perfect. The only issue? Every one of her guests has a different dietary restriction, and none of them seem to work together. So Chris taps Kendra Vaculin to help keep Rachel's eyes on the ultimate prize: making this gathering an excellent time for all involved. Recipes featured: Squash and Broccoli Rabe Lasagna Three-Minute Red Wine Vinaigrette Raspberry Cake with Whipped Cream Filling Cheesy Mushroom Galette

    Why Am I Intimidated By Mushrooms?

    Leah loves the Union Square Farmer's Market, but there's one tent she's too intimidated to stop at: the "mushroom guys" (aka Mushroom Queens).  So to help demystify the alien-looking fungi that Leah's seen at their stall — and prove to her that she can achieve a crispy, umami-rich 'shroom in her own kitchen — Chris takes Leah to Mushroom Queens in Ozone Park, and they get a tour of an urban mushroom farm. Recipes featured:   Pasta with Creamy Mushroom Ragu Seared Mushrooms with Garlic and Thyme

    Life and Art from FT Weekend: What Young Wine Drinkers Want

    Today, we’re sharing an episode from our friends at The Financial Times.  If you’ve been to the wine shop lately you may have noticed a trend: wines marketed specifically toward younger drinkers. Many are natural, organic, or biodynamic. Others are made without special certification but boast backstories that focus on the producers, not just the region or grapes. Wine writer Hannah Crosbie joins host Lilah Raptopoulos to give us a primer on what young wine drinkers want. Why are pét nats, skin-contact wines, and chilled reds suddenly everywhere? Check out Life and Art from FT Weekend wherever you get your podcasts.

    I Need a Better Bean (Rerun)

    Caller Teddy has been vegan for a few years. But while she’s confident in her chickpea and lentil skills, bean mastery has eluded her. And, to be fair, the questions are big: canned or dried? What type of bean works best for which application? Is a big pot of brothy beans enough for a meal, or does it need to be doctored? Chris taps Justine Doiron (aka @Justine_Snacks), bean enthusiast, to help Teddy get hip to the humble bean. Recipes mentioned: Brothy Pasta with Chickpeas Gochujang Brothy Beans Breaded Beans Brothy Beans Pasta e Fagioli with Escarole Learn more about how beans can help the planet and your health at BeansIsHow.com.
