Episode 166: Tofu, Carbon Steel Skillets, and String Beans

Controversy over Christopher Kimball and his new magazine, Milk Street.

This week in food news: America’s Test Kitchen Sues Chris Kimball

In our what’s for dinner segment, we’re talking tofu. Joy has her eye on this recipe.

Yogurt is such a go-to snack, but maybe we should consider another high protein, toppable, versatile food instead. (Ricotta)

Cooking with carbon steel–like cast iron but more non-stick. Joy was inspired to give this cookware a go thanks to a story in the new Milk Street magazine.

And finally, at the market this week we are buying up string beans.

Homemade (and rad) stuffed cabbage from Joy’s kitchen

In the food news: Starbucks is intentionally shorting its customers and now they are suing. Read all about it.

Remember how we once told you neither of us has ever made stuffed cabbage? Well, Joy fixed that. She made a terrific version from the excellent cookbook Whole Grains for a New Generation by Liana Krissoff and she shared it with Marisa. We both recommend this recipe to the stuff-cabbage-curious.

We compared notes on cooking from The Indian Family Kitchen by Anjali Pathak, our March Cookbook Club pick. Next up for the Cookbook Club: The Silver Palate Cookbook.

We have Marisa’s interview with the lovely author, food stylist, and TV personality Maureen Petrosky. She keeps her own bees!

At the market we’re stocking on shallots, as usual. We talk about why we love this often overlooked allium.

Marisa’s favorite discount grocery chain Aldi is ramping up its organic offerings.

Saint Patty’s Day is not exactly the foodiest holiday on the calendar but we talk it over nonetheless. We cover corned beef and cabbage as well as Irish potatoes–the candy kind.

Our cookbook pick for March: The Indian Family Kitchen. But it’s not what you probably expect!

We have Joy’s interview with Louisa Shafia, the author of last month’s cookbook club pick–The New Persian Kitchen.

At the market right now: Beets. They are somewhat unpopular with certain people but we love them.
