POPULARITY
A life and a career revolving around all things culinary, and she wouldn't have it any other way. Originally from Nebraska, Andrea Slonecker says she always dreamed of traveling and moving away (although she says she 100% appreciates those roots more now), and Trish and Andrea bond over those famous mom-casseroles that still hold special places in their heart. She talks about loving to cook for friends in college, right about the time the Food Network was getting popular on TV, and she quickly became hooked on the shows and food culture. She moved to Portland on a whim after college, mostly because it was this growing food scene and Andrea wanted to be a part of it. She worked in restaurants and did some catering (she jokes about having 6-7 jobs when she moved there), trying to find her path. She eventually found it and has been unstoppable ever since. She's written several cookbooks, did magazine work, collaborated on so many projects, and is excited about a new project, years in the making, coming out in April. She's still doing a lot of jobs and the two also chat a LOT about pretzels, veggies, and cheese. And wine. And other things. *This episode sponsored by The Culinarium in Ashland, Oregon : gourmet provisions and fine kitchenware.

Mike Solomonov planted his flag in Philadelphia more than a decade ago with the groundbreaking Israeli-American restaurant Zahav, and people went nuts. Two words: pomegranate lamb. He’s since won many awards, opened restaurants focusing on Israeli staples hummus and falafel, and essentially put Israeli cuisine in the American zeitgeist, sitting right next to Italian and Mexican. He’s the author of several books, including the new Israeli Soul: Easy, Essential, Delicious.In this fun and wide-ranging conversation, we talk about Israel’s major food groups—falafel, pita, sabich, and schnitzel—and dive into the history of the often-overlooked Ashkenazi food traditions in Israel. We swap stories about some of our favorite Tel Aviv and Jerusalem restaurants, and Mike shares the details of his five-minute hummus recipe—which is accurately called a “medium step forward for mankind.” And his dad used to own Subway restaurants! This is a cool fact. We discuss how this may have just informed the way he looks at his growing falafel and tahini-shake empire, Goldie. Are falafels the next Cold Cut Combo?Also on the show, Anna catches up with Dana Frank and Andrea Slonecker, authors of Wine Food: New Adventures in Drinking and Cooking. The pair offer some really unique takes on the merging of wine and food cultures in our modern world—as well as why pairing wine with chocolate is just a terrible idea. Plus, is rosé over?
So-called "natural wine bars" are all the rage right now. Why? And what are the new, surprising wine-food pairing rules? Finally, who knew that eggs are sometime used to make wine?
