The Soundcloud page of the codex west-affiliated Not A Recipe podcast, hosted by Mark Kuivila and Jacob Lively. We talk about cooking fundamentals, technique and demystifying the kitchen. We think the recipe format is a great way to teach cooking a single thing, but not a great way to teach cooking.
Episode two! Today we discuss the nature and origin of the vinegar pickle, the curious place the pickle has in a culinary landscape dominated by sweet and savory, and share some ideas about the best way to preserve the quintessential pickle flavor and crunch. Somewhere along the way we teach you how to do it yourself! There will likely be some significant delay between the release of this episode and the next one-- Jacob will be traveling for the next three weeks for work and won't have access to any recording equipment. Keep an eye out for articles on the codex west main site-- any spare second he can find, he'll be writing instead of talking. Thanks for listening! P.S.- We are now available on iTunes and Stitcher! If you like this show, you should subscribe so you're notified any time we release a new episode.
Our very first episode! Today we discuss the fundamentals of developing a signature tomato sauce, tomato selection, flavor science and a brief history of the tomato. Follow us on Instagram at @not_a_recipe for pictures of whatever it is we're talking about in each episode. WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE. We'll try to keep it PG in future episodes, but tomatoes get us a little... how you say... lost in the sauce.
