POPULARITY
I have such a fun, delicious and inspiring conversation for you today. We're diving into everything Thanksgiving with three-time James Beard Award-winning food writer David Leite. David is the founder of the website acclaimed website Leite's Culinaria and is the author of The New Portuguese Table and Notes on a Banana. He also publishes the newsletter The David Blahg.David shares his strategies for preparing for Thanksgiving dinner, not just logistically, but also emotionally. David and I both spent years of our lives stressing over the holidays and have found tools to bring us more ease, including planning menus that can be largely prepped ahead. David describes the dishes he makes (warning: you will leave hungry), and he shares his prep timeline (don't miss David's pumpkin cake and pumpkin meringue ice cream recipes in the links below!). You can also get my make-ahead Thanksgiving menu and prep list, along with my favorite side dishes and desserts (all of which are gluten-free) in the links below.David also opens up about his experiences with depression and offers simple but profound tips and tools for supporting ourselves emotionally this season. These are tools that any of us can benefit from, and they feel more relevant than ever. As David says, it's critical that we drop our expectations, know our own limits, and give ourselves the grace to not do it all (or any of it). His motto is, “If I can't do it, I can't do it,” which is something I'm adopting for myself. If I can't do it, I can't do it, and that is perfectly okay. Finally, I just want to remind you that no matter how you're feeling in the season ahead, you're not alone.EPISODE LINKS* Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD Newsletter: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/* Find Nicki on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickisizemore* One-on-one sessions with Nicki: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/coaching-and-cooking-sessions* Nicki's Thanksgiving Recipes & Prep List: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/lets-talk-about-thanksgiving* David's Website: https://leitesculinaria.com/* David's Newsletter: https://davidleite.substack.com/* Find David on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidleite/* David's Pumpkin Cake with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting: https://leitesculinaria.com/7518/recipes-pumpkin-cake-maple-cream-cheese-frosting.html* David's Pumpkin Meringue Pie Ice Cream: https://leitesculinaria.com/365909/recipes-pumpkin-meringue-pie-ice-cream.html This is a public episode.

Spicy, baked or fried ... winning ways to turn out chicken wings for your Super Bowl Spread. David Leite of Leite's Culinaria shares tips with Fox News's Lilian Huang Woo. LISTEN HERE: Buffalo Chicken Wings Leite's Culinaria photo: Ryland Peters & Small found on Leite's CulinariaKorean Chicken Wings What's the trick behind the best Korean chicken wings? According to Aki Kamozawa & H. Alexander Talbot, it's an overnight bath in a mixture of egg whites, salt, and baking soda. The concoction not only "forms an even coating that clings to the baked chicken wings and seasons them," as the authors explain, but somehow manages to "break down the outer layer of proteins on the skin," which renders the chicken skin thin and crackling, the underlying meat moist and juicy. There you have it. Best baked chicken wings recipe ever. Resourceful home cooks may wish to note that the authors also brush this very same marinade on a whole chicken, let it soak up the flavor in the fridge overnight, and then roast it. One last thing. It's not only the knee-wobblingly crisp skin that makes these baked chicken wings Korean-style. It's also the fact that they're served with yangnyeomjang, a Korean dipping sauce that's sorta sweet yet still has some heat.-Renee Schettler Rossi Korean Chicken Wings Adapted from Aki Kamozawa | H. Alexander Talbot | Maximum Flavor | Clarkson Potter, 2013 INGREDIENTS For the baked chicken wings 3 large egg whites 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 3/4 teaspoons fine sea salt 4 pounds whole chicken wings For the Korean dipping sauce 1/4 cup tamari soy sauce (seek out a gluten-free brand, if desired) 3 tablespoons apple juice 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon rice vinegar 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil 1 teaspoon Korean red chile flakes or crushed red pepper flakes 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, roughly chopped or coarsely ground if desired 1 garlic clove, grated 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger 1 scallion, finely sliced DIRECTIONS Make the baked chicken wings 1. Plop the egg whites, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and stir to dissolve the salt and baking soda. Add the chicken wings and toss to coat evenly. Remove the wings from the bowl and arrange them on 2 wire racks. Place each rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate the wings overnight, uncovered. (This results in the crisp skin. Don't skip this step!) 2. Preheat the oven to 450°F (235°C). 3. Slide the wings, still on the racks on the baking sheets, in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Flip the wings over and cook for 10 more minutes. Flip the wings over again and bake until deep golden brown with ridiculously crisp skin, 10 to 15 more minutes. Let the wings cool on the wire racks for 5 minutes. Make the Korean dipping sauce 4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, apple juice, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chile flakes, sesame seeds, garlic, ginger, and scallion. 5. Pile the baked chicken wings on a platter and serve the sauce alongside. Oh, and you're going to want to serve these with napkins. Ample napkins.

In this episode of Waking Up Bipolar, Chris Cole speaks with David Leite—culinary expert, award-winning food journalist, and author of the recently-published, critically-acclaimed book, NOTES ON A BANANA: A Memoir of Food, Love, and Manic Depression. NOTES ON A BANANA is at once a tender look at growing up, a candid take on the power of self-acceptance, and an unflinching tale of the hell of mental illness. David’s story is brutally honest and necessary, creating a sense of universality and enduring hope that today’s readers need more than ever. David Leite has tackled everything from chocolate chip cookies to Welsh cakes, from the foods of Portugal to the tribulations of being a super taster—for print, radio, and television. In 1999, he founded the website Leite’s Culinaria, and in 2006 he had the distinction of being the first winner ever of a James Beard Award for a website, a feat he repeated in 2007. The following year, he won his third James Beard Award for his article on fried clams for the New York Times. His first book, THE NEW PORTUGUESE TABLE: Exciting Flavors from Europe’s Western Coast, explored the food of his heritage and won the 2010 IACP First Book/Julia Child Award. David is also a regular correspondent and guest host on NPR’s “The Splendid Table.” He splits his time between Connecticut and New York, but will travel anywhere for a good meal. As you’ll hear in the interview, I am immensely grateful for David’s work, both because of his advocacy, and particularly because of how successful of a life and career he enjoys today. I hope for more visibility for such invisibility, and David is a wonderful example of this courage. Keep up with David Leite by visiting his blog at leitesculinaria.com.

Food. Love. Manic Depression. This interview warmed my heart AND gave me some serious things to think about in my own "rollercoaster" world. A big thanks to David Leite for amazing work with "Notes on a Banana," and for his kindness, compassion and light in this world. About David and "Notes on a Banana" In one of spring’s most poignant, astonishingly courageous, and unapologetically hilarious titles, three- time James Beard Award-winner David Leite brings a dash of Anthony Bourdain, Augusten Burroughs, and Kay Redfield Jamison to his memoir, NOTES ON A BANANA: A Memoir of Food, Love, and Manic Depression (Dey Street; April 11, 2017; ISBN: 9780062414373). In a true tale that dazzles, touches the heart, and inspires, three-time James Beard Award winner David Leite lays it all on the table. Born into a devoutly Catholic, food-crazed family of Azorean immigrants in 1960s Fall River, Massachusetts, David had a childhood that was the stuff of sitcoms. But what no one knew was that this smart-ass, determined dreamer with a vivid imagination also struggled with the frightening mood swings of bipolar disorder. To cope, “Banana,” as his mother endearingly called him, found relief and comfort in food, watching reruns of Julia Child, and, later as an adult, cooking for others. It was only in his midthirties, after years of desperate searching, did he finally uncover the truth about himself, receive proper medical treatment, and begin healing. Throughout the narrative, David takes the reader along on the exhilarating highs and shattering lows of his life, with his trademark sense of humor: We watch as he slams the door on his Portuguese heritage in favor of blond-haired, blue-eyed WASPdom; pursues stardom with a near-pathological relentlessness; realizes he’s gay and attempts to “turn straight” through Aesthetic Realism, a cult in downtown Manhattan; battles against dark and bitter moods; delights in his twenty-plus year relationship with Alan (known to millions of David’s online readers as “The One”); and shares the people, dishes, and events that shaped him. NOTES ON A BANANA is at once a tender look at growing up, a candid take on the power of selfacceptance, and an unflinching tale of the hell of mental illness. David’s story is brutally honest and necessary, creating a sense of universality and enduring hope that today’s readers need more than ever.

It was only in his mid-thirties, after years of desperate searching, did he finally uncover the truth about himself, receive proper medical treatment, and begin healing.Throughout the narrative, David takes the reader along on the exhilarating highs and shattering lows of his life, with his trademark sense of humor: We watch as he slams the door on his Portuguese heritage in favor of blond-haired, blue-eyed WASPdom; pursues stardom with a near-pathological relentlessness; realizes he’s gay and attempts to "turn straight" through Aesthetic Realism, a cult in downtown Manhattan; battles against dark and bitter moods, delights in his twenty-plus year relationship with Alan (known to millions of David’s online readers as “The One); and shares the people, dishes, and events that shaped him. NOTES ON A BANANA is at once a tender look at growing up, a candid take on the power of self-acceptance, and an unflinching tale of the hell of mental illness. Its pages are brutally honest and necessary, creating a sense of universality and enduring hope that today’s readers need more than ever.
In a special edition of the "10% Happier" podcast, Dan Harris leads a discussion with David Leite, author of "Notes on a Banana: A Memoir of Food, Love and Manic Depression," in front of a live audience in New York City. Leite talks at length about struggling with bipolar disorder for decades -- and going undiagnosed for much of that time -- but also shares funny stories about navigating relationships and his passion for food.
Kathryn interviews James Beard Award Winner David Leite, author of “Notes on a Banana: A Memoir of Food, Love, and Manic Depression”. This book is a tender look at growing up, a candid take on the power of self-acceptance, and an unflinching tale of the hell of mental illness. Leite is a regular correspondent and guest host on NPR's The Splendid Table and is featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post and Bon Appetit Magazine. Kathryn also interviews Captain Roger Hill, author of “Dog Company: A True Story of American Soliders Abandoned by Their High Command”. In Wardak, the most violent province in east-central Afghanistan in 2007, Army Captain Roger Hill was faced with a dire situation. With no help coming from the high command, Hill took matters into his own hands and interrogated spies to get to the truth. For this, Hill ended up being prosecuted by the U.S. Army and given a less-than-honorable discharge in 2009. Hill tells his side of the story for the first time.

What many folks may not realize is that both Maria and Angela have full-time day jobs, and this podcast is one of the many things they do in their “free time”. That means that podcasts are often pre-recorded weeks, if not months, in advance, and sometimes weeks will go by without the two of them chatting! So this podcast is a fun “catch up” conversation between the two friends where they talk about what’s been going on with their lives, read comments from listeners, praise the multi-tasking talent of Portuguese women, and talk about all the yummy foods you can find at festas during the summer. Thank you to those who have sent in comments – we love hearing from you! Enjoy this little chat, and be sure to leave us a comment on Facebook, or a review on iTunes!

SMOKED PICKLED POTATOES WITH ANCHOVY AIOLI RECIPEby David Leite, Leite's Culinaria Serves 4 to 6 INGREDIENTSFor the anchovy aioli 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon Kosher salt 6 anchovy fillets, minced 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 2 large egg yolks, room temperature 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil, or 1/2 cup olive oil and 1/2 cup grapeseed oil For the smoked pickled potatoes 2 pounds small red new potatoes, 1 to 1 1/2 in diameter, scrubbed and rinsed Sea salt 4 cups malt vinegar Peanut oil, for frying Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste DIRECTIONS1. Dust the garlic with a bit of salt and, using the flat side of your knife’s blade, rub the salt back and forth into the garlic to make a paste. 2. Add the garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, and egg yolks to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine. 3. Slowly drizzle a few drops of the oil into the bowl while whisking vigorously until the mixture is smooth. Add the rest of the oil in a thin stream, all the while whisking until smooth and light yellow. Season with salt. 4. Add the potatoes to a large pot and add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Add the salt, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook gently until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. 5. Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with ice and water. When the potatoes are cooked, drain them and then add them the the ice water. Let them sit until cooled completely. 6. Drain the potatoes and prick each potato deeply with a toothpick or thin metal skewer numerous times all over. Pour the vinegar into a medium bowl and add in the potatoes. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let the potatoes hang out on the counter in their pickling bath overnight or for at least 8 hours. 7. Following manufacturer’s instructions, set up your smoker, smoker box, charcoal grill, or gas grill for cold smoking using sawdust, chips, chunks, or Bradley bisquettes. You make a makeshift smoker by heating a cast iron skillet until very hot, placing it on your turned-off grill, adding wood chips, and closing the cover. 8. Smoke the potatoes, making sure to keep the temperature under 100°F (38°C), for 1 hour. Remove the potatoes from the smoker. You can refrigerate the potatoes for several hours or you can immediately fry them. 9. Pour enough peanut oil into a heavy pot so that it reaches a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil to 375°F, using a deep-fry or candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. While the oil is heating, place the potatoes on a flat work surface and smash them with the palm of your hand just until they crack and split. 10. Fry the potatoes in batches, making sure the heat never goes below 350°F, until the potatoes are golden brown, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to paper towels to drain and season with sea salt and pepper. Serve immediately with plenty of the aioli on the side.
