Why do some recipes just work while others are hit-or-miss? And is there a better way to write recipes overall? Last week we talked about how some recipes deceive you into thinking they're easier than they are. This week we look at what makes a great recipe. Dan talks with Chandra Ram, who judged the prestigious IACP Awards, where she put recipes from popular cookbooks to the test. Then Dan talks with John Becker and Megan Scott, who revised and developed 2,400 recipes for the latest edition of Joy Of Cooking. Joy is one of the most popular cookbooks in history, but it's also one of the only cookbooks to use the "action method" of recipe writing. Plus, special cameos from best-selling cookbook authors Claire Saffitz and Julia Turshen!This episode originally aired on March 16, 2020, and was produced by Dan Pashman and Emma Morgenstern. It was edited by Tracey Samuelson, and mixed by Andrea Kristinsdottir. The Sporkful production team now includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Nora Ritchie, and Jared O'Connell.

For the first time in three hundred episodes, we're turning the tables on Andrew and sitting him in the hot seat, a.k.a. the guest's chair, to take you inside his new book The Dish: The Lives and Labor Behind One Plate of Food. Fellow writer and author Chandra Ram, of Food & Wine, takes the helm to ask Andrew all about the book: where the idea came from, what the research entailed, how difficult it was traveling and interviewing during the recent pandemic, and what the key takeaways from the book are. We've also layered in excerpts from the audio book, read by chef MIchael Lomonaco, to bring some sections Chandra and Andrew discuss to vivid life.To order The Dish, please visit HarperCollin's book page, from which you can navigate to your favorite online bookseller.

We took the show on the road for Food & Wine's Classic in Aspen, CO at the Wheeler Opera House. First, we welcomed Restaurant Editor Khushbu Shah to talk about restaurant industry trends starting with chefs reclaiming their craft by building systems that allow them to run a restaurant on their schedules and practice "unapologetic cooking." Then Associate Food Editorial Director Chandra Ram joins the conversation to talk about what she's seen in home cooking trends, from translating restaurant-level experiences into a recipe and the lasting change Covid has made in home cooking. Then we talk Southern food with Chef Tiffany Derry of Southern Table and Roots Chicken Shack in Texas. She looks at her relationship to Southern cuisine and how important it is to represent her roots authentically and showcased with a spin. And then, the East Coast editor of The Somm Journal and founder of winewithwanda.com, Wanda Mann, talks to us about the trends in the wine world (hello rosé!) and how people's drink tastes have changed over the last few years.Broadcast dates for this episode:July 7, 2023 (originally aired)Generous listeners like you make The Splendid Table possible. Donate today to support the show

Why some people's recipes work better... When you decide to bake something, where do you start? Most of us google around, then pick one of the first recipes that pops up. But experienced home bakers often turn to cookbook author Dorie Greenspan. "Dorie does rock solid recipes," says Chandra Ram, who judges the prestigious IACP Cookbook Awards. So what's Dorie doing that makes her recipes better than others? This week, in a show taped pre-quarantine, we travel to her home in Connecticut to find out. We watch her test a recipe, and get a look at her butter fridge. This episode is a companion piece to our recent show, "The Art -- And Joy -- Of Recipe Writing." So check that one out if you want to hear more about how great recipes are written, as well as the story of the woman who created Joy of Cooking, despite finding no joy in cooking.

How the Instant Pot Helped This Indian-American Forge Her Ethnic Identity Chandra Ram To be Indian-American means you have a foot in two cultures. For Chandra Ram, author of The Complete Indian Instant Pot Cookbook, America is home, but some part of her identifies as Indian as well. She didn’t want to let go of Indian culture as her parents were encouraged to do when they immigrated a generation ago, but she didn’t always know how to claim it for herself. Although she was always interested in food and cooking and went on to study at the Culinary Institute of America and cook at restaurants including Blackbird, it was hard to find her footing with Indian dishes that required hours in the kitchen, simmering lentils, curing pickles and fermenting dosa batter. She didn’t have as strong a background in Indian food as she would have liked, and felt a barrier to really explore the cuisine. Weirdly, it took buying an Instant Pot to bring generations of family meals back into her kitchen. The Instant Pot opened a door to making her feel connected to her family and their food traditions, even while living a whiplash-fast American life. She could cook chana masala on a weeknight (starting with dried chickpeas!); make rasam at the first sign of a cold; and look her visiting auntie in the eye and tell her that she was making — not buying — her lime pickle. Do join us as Chandra recounts Indian food culture and reveals how she found her ethnic identity while creating both traditional and modern Indian recipes for the Instant Pot. Copies of her book will be available for purchase. Chandra Ram spent 15 years working as a cook, bartender, server and consulting chef before turning to food writing and editing Plate, an award-winning food magazine that challenges chefs to take food further. She is a James Beard- and IACP-nominated cookbook author and holds a bachelor's degree in journalism from Loyola University Chicago, an associate's degree in culinary arts from The Culinary Institute of America, and has passed the certificate level of the Court of Master Sommeliers exam. She is a member of the International Association of Culinary Professionals, Les Dames d’Escoffier, and the James Beard Foundation award committee. Chandra has won multiple awards for her writing and editing, including the Jesse H. Neal awards, the Folio awards, the Association of Food Journalists award, and the McAllister Editorial Fellowship http://www.culinaryHistorians.org

Chandra has a degree in journalism from Loyola University Chicago and a culinary arts degree from The Culinary Institute of America, as well as a certificate level of the Court of Master Sommelier exam. She spent years ping-ponging between writing, cooking, serving and bartending; and has won multiple awards for her writing and editing work. She is a member of IACP, Les Dames d’Escoffier and the James Beard Foundation Award committee.

Culinary degrees and kitchen experience don't always lead to chefdom.
