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 And let us know what you think!

Welcome to Two Many Cooks!

These cookies are bangin'!

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?) https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/food-and-drink/recipes/anthony-bourdain-s-chicken-satay-with-fake-ass-spicy-peanut-sauce-1.2854641 We look forward to your feedback on this and other recipes.

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. https://www.thevanillabeanblog.com/pan-banging-chocolate-chip-cookies/ 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 [email protected] or on Instagram @TwoManyCooksPod.

Welcome to Two Many Cooks! Your friendly neighborhood cookbook club podcast! This week we couldn't decide which Wolfgang Puck Chicken Pot Pie recipe to discuss, so we tried two recipes and talk about both. Dave's recipe: https://www.oscars.org/sites/oscars/files/wolfgang_puck_chicken_pot_pie.pdf Grace's recipe: https://wolfgangpuck.com/recipes/ Talking points include pastry intuition, crust trust, and dough knowhow. Also tune in to hear the maddest Grace has ever been on the pod for needlessly vague recipe writing and her continued suspicion that there's a conspiracy with these big-named Chefs to buy their master class. Now, is it possible that Grace is mad at vague writing because it's finals week and she's graded a billion papers? Possibly. Is it also possible that there's a conspiracy with these chefs? No, no, Grace, that would be a wild business model, just...it'll be ok. Next week, we're trying out a dessert recipe that *gasp* even Dave would like? Grace has made it twice now and family has said "top five desserts of my life" and "I'd definitely come back to this restaurant" https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1022010-lemon-pudding-cakes-with-sugared-raspberries?utm_source=sharetools&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=website So please give it a whirl and let us know what you think. Don't forget to send us your feedback, comments, and pictures to [email protected] and @twomanycookspod on Instagram.

We're eating our veggies today and can't get enough of them. In this episode, we're discussing Yotam Ottolenghi's Cauliflower Steaks!
