It's another 'chovie-fest! It's another pantry-essentials recipe! We're talking about the reluctant recipe queen of the pandemic, Alison Roman and her Shallot Pasta:

We also discuss Grace's inability to read directions, Bucatini as the superior long nood, and lots of hot takes on parsley (we know you have them too, we're just brave enough to say it :))

Next week, we're doing another head-to-head with J. Kenji Lopez-Alt's Kung Pao Chicken two ways.

Caesar Salad... invented by an Italian in Tijuana during Prohibition! We thank you Caesar Cardini for this #iconic dish and we also thank Molly Baz for this approachable, delicious recipe for Cae Sal!

Spoilers: We love this recipe. Can't even hide it. It's a perfect summer dish, better than the sum of its parts (seriously, Worcheshire sauce), and is the most delicious combination of #saltandstank.

Tune in to hear about the etymology of the word "dairy," food safety, and general whisk-y business.

Please please try this recipe at home (you definitely have the ingredients in your pantry): https://food52.com/recipes/85557-molly-baz-cae-sal-caesar-salad-recipe

Welcome to Two Many Cooks!
In this week's episode, we discuss Anthony Bourdain's Chicken Satay with Fake-Ass Spicy Peanut Sauce and dive into how influential Anthony Bourdain was in Grace's early culinary life.

We also discuss cupcake opinions, more mango content, and debate how many socks this recipe knocked off.

It's a good recipe, you should try it for your next dinner party and let us know what you think! https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/food-and-drink/recipes/anthony-bourdain-s-chicken-satay-with-fake-ass-spicy-peanut-sauce-1.2854641

Next episode is all about 'chovies. We're discussing Molly Baz's Caesar Salad (aka Cae Sal). Dave's excited because he doesn't have to use his oven and Grace is excited to hunt down anchovies in Pakistan.

These cookies are bangin'!
No but seriously, try these pan banging chocolate chip cookies from the incredible Sarah Kieffer:
https://www.thevanillabeanblog.com/pan-banging-chocolate-chip-cookies/

We really hope you try these cookies out and send us your feedback because, even if they don't crinkle like they should (cough cough, Grace, preheat your oven correctly next time) they're still absolutely delicious.

More talking points include that mango life, Will. It. Panini!, and e-no-li.
Tune in to hear what the hell we're on about.

For next episode, we're tackling the inimitable Anthony Bourdain! We're discussing his Chicken Satay with Fake-ass Spicy Peanut Sauce (is there a better recipe title?)

FEAR Rating Scheme:
Flavor: Was it tasty? How was the texture?
Ease: How hard were the techniques in the recipe? How easy was it start-to-finish?
Approachability: Were the ingredients hard to find? Was the recipe hard to follow? How many different tools did you need to use?
Repeatability: Would you make it again?

We're back and sillier than ever!

Is it the time difference? Is it because we haven't talked to each other in three weeks? Or is it because we hid our opinions from each other on today's recipe until recording? Tune in to find out!

Today, we're discussing Jamie Oliver's Wine Braised Chicken with roasted grapes (yes, hot grapes) that was recommended to us by friend of the show @TheSpicyLemon!
https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/chicken-recipes/wine-braised-chicken-with-roasted-grapes/

This was the most divisive recipe we've done so far and it wasn't (only) because of the hot grapes.

Oh also, here's a fun game for you all to play...the answer to Grace's question at 3:30 is "yes". DM us on Instagram to let us know you know... :-\ Poor thing.

Next episode is sure to be a crowd favorite! We're tackling Sarah Kiefer's Pan Bang Chocolate Chip Cookies. This technique has intrigued us for a while and we're so excited to try it out. We can pretty much promise no hot grapes in this one.

We'd love to hear your feedback on these cookies and where you fall on the roasted grapes (and now parsley!) debate. You can email us at TwoManyCooksPod@gmail.com or on Instagram @TwoManyCooksPod.

Are you ready for food, friends, and s'moresas?! Sorry...

In this episode, we discuss three recipes by the incredible Padma Lakshmi:

Madras Lemon Rice: http://padmalakshmi.com/recipe/nimbu-rice-madras-lemon-rice/
Balinese Curried Samosas: http://padmalakshmi.com/recipe/balinese-curried-samosas/

Talking points include the best gameshow ever..."Will. It. Panini!?", crunch wrap samosas, and an incredible doughnut adventure.

Grace heads off to her next overseas post tomorrow (!), so we're going to take a bit of a break for her to get settled and figure out what her kitchen and grocery store will look like. Can't wait to regroup in a few weeks and let you know all about her travels!
