It's all created from my heart. It's related to an experience I've had in the past, something I've eaten in the past, something I've seen in India. So everything I do has a story attached to it,” Floyd Cardoz on The Restaurant Guys 2005BioFloyd Cardoz was born in India and received a bachelor's degree in biochemistry before exploring culinary school and moving to New York City in 1988. After working with chef Gray Kunz at Lespinasse he began working for Union Square Hospitality Group.

On this date, the third anniversary of our losing chef Floyd Cardoz to COVID, we remember him and his legacy with his wife, Barkha Cardoz. A few weeks ago, Barkha generously invited Andrew to visit her home, even though they'd never met before, to enjoy a lunch prepared in part with the masalas she and Floyd developed several years ago (and which are still sold by Burlap & Barrell). Barkha shared her own personal journey to the restaurant world, and recalls how she and Floyd met in cooking school in India and were reunited by chance in the United States. She also explains how she's carving out a greater public identity for herself as she moves forward with her life and career. Hope you'll give a listen to this extraordinarily open and moving conversation.Andrew's next book The Dish: The Lives and Labor Behind One Plate of Food is now available for preorder!

Join me for today's interview and cooking demo with Chef Richard LaMarita.  Chef Rich is a Culinary Instructor in the Health Supportive Program at Institute for Culinary Education (ICE) in NYC.  Formerly, he taught in the culinary program at the Natural Gourmet Institute, also in NYC.  His specialties include Indian, Italian, vegetarian and vegan cuisines.  He has worked with numerous chefs in NYC, including Floyd Cardoz, Dan Kluger and Ben Pollinger.  Richard has been a practitioner and teacher of Ayurveda, the science of life, health and balance, for thirty-five years. He has studied with Vedic and Ayurvedic master Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and has led seminars on Ayurvedic diet, cooking, yoga and meditation throughout the U.S., and in Europe and Asia.We start our interview by discussing what is a well-balanced Ayurvedic meal.  When you consider an Ayurvedic diet, you have to look at three points on a triangle.  The first point is food; the second is the strength and power of our digestion (known as Agni in Ayurveda); the third point is how we eat – mindful eating.  You can take the best food and even with a good digestion, you can mess it all up with how you eat.  In Ayurveda, it's important to get the six tastes, ideally in one meal.  Each taste affects the body differently.  Each taste is composed of different elements in nature and affects the body differently.  Some have a building effect; others, a purifying effect.  For someone new to Ayurveda, how does she get started preparing a simple well-balanced meal?  Ayurveda is deep, but there are things you can grab right away.    Chef Rich recommends not to worry initially about the various aspects of food other than taste.  Get a sense of the foods in each taste category.  Starting out, work on getting the six tastes every day, then in each meal, and eventually, in one dish.   It's important to know your dosha (your individual constitution) and master simple strategies for bringing yourself into balance.  Chef Rich demos a simple Ayurvedic meal that you can easily prepare at home – a digestive mung dal kitchari with swiss chard and roasted cauliflower along with a fennel paratha.  A kitchari contains a legume and a grain, a complete protein.  It is stew-like and creamy.  The combination of a legume and grain provides a complete protein.   Turmeric is added to the cooking liquid along with salt.  Rich prepares a tarka – spices toasted or cooked in ghee or oil:  cumin and fennel seeds – adding fresh ginger and whole chile along with asafoetida.  He adds the swiss chard to the spice/ghee mixture along with fresh curry leaves.  As for the six tastes, here goes:  sweet – basmati rice finished with roasted pistachio (roasted in ghee) ; sour – tamarind paste – a finishing touch (like squeezing fresh lemon); salty – salt and kombu; pungent – all the spices and fresh herbs – cilantro; bitter – leafy greens; astringent – mung dal and roasted cauliflower.  The fennel seeds in the paratha gives it a great flavor – fennel also cleanses the lymph and is a good digestive spice.  In this simple kitchari, Chef Rich incorporates all six tastes.  You leave the table feeling completely satisfied which helps with cravings.  This recipe can also be adapted for each season – focus on what's being harvested in your region.  To learn more about Chef Richard LaMarita and his work:  https://www.ice.edu/newyork/explore-ice/faculty-profiles/richard-lamarita

There were a few, "are you serious" moments to discuss for this week's show! Rapper Lil Wayne was arrested and charged on Tuesday with one count of possessing a firearm and ammunition as a felon. The charge stems from a search of a private jet in Miami last December. If convicted the rapper faces up to 10 years in prison. Another one may bite the dust! Nippsey Hussle's "Marathon" Store was recently vandalized and looted. In a video circulating online, the store is seen, but all the windows are broken, and there is glass shattered everywhere. Hussle was gunned down outside of the South Los Angeles clothing store. His alleged shooter, Eric Holder Jr., is in a Los Angeles County jail awaiting a trial. The spring trial has been delayed due to COVID-19. A grand jury indicted Holder for murder for Hussle's killing and attempted murder after two men who were standing next to the rapper were injured. Holder has pleaded not guilty. Say it ain't so! Michael B. Jordan was named People's 'Sexiet Man Alive 2020.' I guess for the ladies, nothing more would need to be said about this. Jeezy vs. Gucci...who you got? The epic showdown will be this Thursday (Nov. 19th)!! The legendary director, Spike Lee is going to be at the helm of a musical movie about the origin story of the Viagra: the first drug to treat erectile dysfunction. While he seems quite excited by the project, Spike declined to draw a personal connection to the film’s subject matter. This should be very interesting from Spike Lee's perspective. In a Sunday Instagram and Twitter update, 50 Cent thanked his followers for “praying for my Boy” Jeremih, who was previously admitted to an intensive care unit in Chicago during his ongoing battle seemingly with COVID-19. Jeremih is one of several celebrities to have contracted the novel coronavirus this year. Among the survivors are Idris Elba, Sara Bareilles, Scarface, Pink, Daniel Dae Kim, Andy Cohen, Babyface and Tom Hanks — who, along with his wife, Rita Wilson, was one of the first entertainment figures to go public with a COVID-19 diagnosis in March. COVID has also taken the lives of a number of stars, including Adam Schlesinger, Patricia Bosworth, Ellis Marsalis Jr., Terrence McNally, Floyd Cardoz, John Prine, Fred the Godson and Broadway actor Nick Cordero, who died after a long battle in July.

Chasing Flavor: Techniques and Recipes to Cook FearlesslyBy Dan Kluger Intro: Welcome to the number one cookbook podcast, Cookery by the Book with Suzy Chase. She's just a home cook in New York City, sitting at her dining room table talking to cookbook authors.Dan Kluger: I'm Dan Kluger, and we are talking about my new cookbook called Chasing Flavor.Suzy Chase: If you enjoy Cookery by the Book please tell a friend I'm always looking for new people to enjoy the podcast. Now on with the show. You are the quintessential New York chef, you've worked under and alongside some of the great names in the restaurant world. Danny Meyer, Jean-Georges, Tom Colicchio, and Floyd Cardoz who we lost to COVID in April. Can you talk a little bit about how all of these guys influenced your cooking style?Dan Kluger: I started in the front of the house at Danny Meyer's Union Square Cafe and had really no idea that I would someday become a chef. I was really just spending my days off in the kitchen to learn a little about what goes on back there in the hopes that it would become an owner someday. I should know what goes on. And Michael Romano, who was the chef at Union Square Cafe at the time ended up offering me a job. So I started, I think it was back in 1995 as a prep cook, just peeling potatoes and frying calimari and cleaning salad greens. And it was an eye opening experience to begin with. But, you know, really taught me about the basics of food. It taught me about the basics of production of food, and it opened my eyes to some incredible Italian food. When, when Michael Romano was cooking his Italian food, it was not always you know, what we think of as Italian food. It was from areas all over Italy and he would hone in on something really specific. And so there's a lesson to go with it, which I really loved as a young cook. So, you know, I got a little taste of, of, uh, cooking, a little taste of food and flavorful food and great products from the farmer's market all while working at a place that I had originally worked in front of the house. And so I was tied to hospitality and it was tied to taking care of people. I think that really kind of spawned the interest in this for me and specifically the interest in not just cooking, but cooking to really make people happy and, and bring the whole experience. So that was my time at Union Square Cafe and towards the end of it I was really fortunate enough to be friend Floyd Cardoz who was working out of Union Square Cafe as he was building Tabla and doing menu tastings and his food was incredible. And, uh, you know, at that time it was kind of like nothing else. And Michael Romano was also a huge fan of Indian food so they shared a love for it. I think that's in part why Tabla became Tabla. I didn't grow up eating Indian food and I didn't grow up really with really any ethnic food other than going out for Chinese food and once a month with my parents, so it was really an eye opening experience and a great opportunity. And through that, I ended up going with Floyd to open Tabla and I worked actually alongside him for seven years. And again, like just every day was a learning experience, both in the culture behind the Indian food and the flavors of Indian food and then because this was not just your average Indian restaurant and it was really American and French techniques with Indian spices. I learned so much about technique and building flavor and so I would really credit Floyd as having started my taste buds and my love for this balance of flavor. That's something we talk a lot about in the book I've talked about throughout my career. And, uh, after seven years there, I went off to work with Tom Colicchio on a private club in Midtown. He was a consulting chef and he hired me as a chef and so now going to work for him, I was able to really hone my skills on what I consider American food and what I consider my food today. And then from there I met Jean-Georges and decided to go work with him. I opened a couple different projects for him, but ultimately ended up becoming the chef of ABC Kitchen, which opened, I guess it was 2009, 2010, somewhere in there, and was really based on farm to table nothing could be from further than 150 miles with the exception of our olive oil and our lemons and things like that. So I was able to really polish and hone my skills on flavor using these products and under his tutelage and within this incredible setting of a brand new restaurant. And then I opened Loring Place back in 2016. And here we are today with, with Chasing Flavor. It's a culmination of all those experiences tied into a book that I want it to act as a way for people to become more comfortable with both flavor building techniques, whether it's charring or roasting or smoking, as well as comfortable and confident in terms of building a pantry that they can use with all sorts of different products to create these really flavorful meals.Suzy Chase: Okay. Before we talk about Chasing Flavor, I have to tell you a funny, kind of New Yorky tidbit. I remember when chef Cardoz opened Tabla in 1998, and I could only afford to go to The Bread Bar downstairs, but it was amazing. It was the less expensive alternative. You kind of got a little bit of what was going on upstairs and the onion rings were amazing.Dan Kluger: Yes, they were, yes they were. Yeah. It was an incredible restaurant again, you know the right place, the right time to launch Indian inspired concept that really could speak to lots of different people, whether it was through The Bread Bar, which was this home-style Indian kind of street food menu or upstairs, which was, kind of the crème de la crème of ingredients and techniques to showcase these Indian spices.Suzy Chase: So the month that Loring Place opened, I had Mimi Sheraton on my podcast. And since she's a neighborhood gal, I asked her what her favorite restaurant was and she said, Loring Place. And I was like, what? What's that? And she said, "Oh, it's on eighth street. It's my favorite restaurant." And I was like, oh my gosh, I have to check it out. And so let me just talk about where it's located. So it's located in Greenwich village on eighth street, practically across the street from Electric Lady studios and for the longest time eighth street wasn't, shall I say, the most desirable street? And I feel like you made the street, what it is today. How did you discover that location?Dan Kluger: I don't think I made it what it is today, but I was certainly able to be a, I guess, a big part of, um, it's change and what it's become today, but really I would give the credit to my friends who own Eighth Street Wine Cellar, which is right across the street from me. And they've been around, I think, uh, 14 years now. And I used to come down here a lot after work. And so for me the street was kind of become home. And then probably about seven, eight years ago, uh, The Marlton which is a nice hotel that opened up on the corner and I think really helped Stumptown coffee. And so just through those two places and, and the wine bar, I think we started to see a change in the street, New York in general, started to get a little bit cleaned up from the riff raff that was on that street before and we came in you know, right time before too many restaurants around the block and I was really excited to be part of a neighborhood that I like and a block that I had already seen a bunch of growth on and now be part of its continued growth.Suzy Chase: So I feel like the majority of your career has been centered around the Union Square Greenmarket. Can you share some of your shopping strategies for going to any green market? Like, do you come with a list? Do you have the route mapped out before you get there? Or do you just walk from one end to the other, which is what I do?Dan Kluger: It's all of the above. We're shopping for the restaurant there's obviously a list. What do we know we need? And if we need 10 flats of tomatoes to get us through the weekend, we will probably, pre-order five of them from one of our favorite farmers. And then we'll spend the rest of the time walking around finding the other five so that we kind of distribute amongst other farmers and we're able to pick up tomatoes and taste them as we go. In terms of restaurant, that's a big part of it, but it was not as targeted as that. If I'm not shopping for the restaurant, I'm shopping more for menu development or for myself, then it's really more a matter of I like to walk through with really open-mind looking for whether it's something new or something that I didn't really expect to pick up and cook with, but was sort of inspired at that moment.Suzy Chase: You believe that every recipe should leave us with something beyond a tasty dish. Can you talk a little bit about your takeaways?Dan Kluger: Every recipe as you said, has something called the takeaway .The takeaway could be that this chili sesame condiment is great on the arctic char, but it can also be used not for a raw fish dish. You can braise tomatoes in it and serve it with poached halibut, or the takeaway could be something as simple as, you know, how we cook our parmesan croutons and that's something that, again, they're, they're there for a specific soup, but they can also be used on a salad, or it could be about how we marinate something or how we roast something to get enough caramelization on it that, you know, something like a brussel sprout is still creamy, but now it's crunchy. It's got a little bitterness, it's got extra sweetness from that caramelization. So again, the idea is that we're giving you the confidence to use these skills, whether it's the key ingredient or a full dish.Suzy Chase: So normally you write a recipe for the kitchen staff, how much tweaking did you have to do for us home cooks in this cookbook?Dan Kluger: There's certainly some where we simplified them a little bit, maybe a restaurant recipe, we make an herb oil that has to hang overnight and was a little more time consuming and expensive and in this case we just chopped herbs. So the idea behind any recipe that's in there is still that dish at its best.Suzy Chase: You talk about elderflower syrup in this cookbook, which is one of your secret ingredients for salad dressings.Dan Kluger: We used a lot at ABC, but I grew up every summer going to England and elderflower is a big thing there and I remember my grandmother having this bottle of syrup and kind of fell in love with it at a very young age and at ABC, I really kind of learned the versatility of it and started using it in lots of different things from hot sauces to, to vinaigrettes.Suzy Chase: So I grew up in Kansas and corn was everywhere, but I only learned about a corn zipper on page 11 of your cookbook. Where have I been?Dan Kluger: You know I fell in love with the corn zipper many years ago and just found that it's a little bit easier and cleaner than just using a knife, but obviously a knife works really well.Suzy Chase: I need a corn zipper in my life. So let's go back to that magical day in 1995, when you were a student at Syracuse in the food service program, and you were asked to show a special guest around campus.Dan Kluger: I owe the credit to gentlemen named Leon Genet. His children went there and I think he may have even gone there. And so he had an auditorium named after his wife and a lecture series that he sponsored and he used to bring all these different people up to speak, whether it was the CEO of Macy's or Tommy Hilfiger or in this case, Danny Meyer. And Leon and I had kind of hit it off at an early stage of my time at Syracuse. And he said, I got Danny coming, Danny's great I want you to show him around and we set it up and I attended the lunch with Danny and then we took him for a walk around Syracuse campus and we took them to the Carrier Dome and up in bright lights was welcomed Danny Meyer. And we kind of hit it off and after that, I applied to Union Square Cafe to be a summer intern.Suzy Chase: That's a crazy story.Dan Kluger: Yeah. I lucked outSuzy Chase: Totally well, no, you made it happen. You made the magic happen.Dan Kluger: You know, I think I've talked about this other people for when I've said, you know, I lucked out or I was lucky, then they said, no, no, no, you, you made it you've you you've made these things happen and I think I've made things happen and I've used my opportunities to make the best of them. And I certainly not just been handed a silver spoon at the same token. I got very lucky with these things. I got lucky in meeting Danny. I got lucky in meeting Floyd and I got lucky in meeting Tom. I got very lucky in meeting Jean-Georges and you know, those things, I, I truly believe are luck I mean, I worked my tail off to get to those places, but if I hadn't met any of those people, you know who knows where I'd be today. So I do think luck does have something to do with it.Suzy Chase: This cookbook teaches us some new cooking techniques. So why should we use a wire rack when roasting vegetables?Dan Kluger: So the wire rack sometimes called an icing grate, goes on a normal sheet tray is really great for roasting vegetables because you toss the vegetables in some oil you put on top, and as it goes into a hot oven, the hot air of the oven is not only cooking the top of the vegetables and the sides that are exposed, but because it's on the rack it's going underneath and cooking the bottom of them whereas if you just had them on a tray or on a piece of parchment, they're actually going to steam in part. So this, this makes them become, depending on what you're cooking and how you're cooking it. I kind of refer to it as like raisinating them and it starts to dry them out a little bit and intensifies them and that's what I really like about it is you can take something like a butternut squash and roast it on there, and I just find it, it takes more moisture out and it just makes it more naturally intense.Suzy Chase: That's so smart because there's nothing worse than one side that's kind of crispy and caramelized and nice. And the other side is just kind of like wet and goopy a little bit.Dan Kluger: Yep. Exactly. That's what we're trying to avoid.Suzy Chase: I made your recipe for Heirloom Tomato Toast on page 39. And it took me back to the Union Square Cafe days. Can you describe this recipe?Dan Kluger: Yeah. So it's funny that you talked about Union Square you know, every season we had the tomato bruschetta, uh, where we just took ripe tomatoes and tossed them with a little bit of olive oil, salt, and garlic, and put on toasted bread. I thought it was great, obviously very simple, but for me, it was just a little too simple. It was always missing something. And so at one point I decided to make this heirloom toast where I bought, obviously some of the best tomatoes you could find, but then took the toast and rather just grill it we actually toast it with parmesan so you get this crunchy layer parmesan on it, but it makes this like really great layer to put the tomatoes on it, lots of flavor and then we build the tomatoes up. They're sprinkled with salt and olive oil. And what actually happens is they, they leach out a little bit of their liquid. The bread has been toasted, so it's a little bit dry and can take the liquid. And so now you have this like parmesan bread with soft tomatoes and the bread is starting to soak up some of that juice. And so it just to me becomes an incredible flavored toast.Suzy Chase: Now to my segment called Last Night's dinner, where I ask you what you had last night for dinner.Dan Kluger: I made vegan ramen last night. I built this broth by really caramelizing, deep caramelize, the onions and garlic and ginger, and then add it in miso, which is really one of my favorite products and some Korean chili paste and tomato paste and even some vegetable Marmite basically cooked all that together and then finished it with soy and vinegar and all these things by making this really flavorful base. You wouldn't have known that there's no pork fat in there. I mean it was like still really jammy and rich, just like if it was a deep, normal ramen base. So again, it's, to me, it's always about building flavor in stages.Suzy Chase: Before we wrap it up. I want you to tell us about your Thanksgiving dinner kit at Loring Place. It looks delicious and I'm going to order one for my family.Dan Kluger: Awesome. It's all of my favorites, obviously turkey and then we take the breasts we cook that separately, the legs we braise and we bake into an incredible pot pie and then we have roasted spiced acorn squash, we have roasted brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes, cranberry chutney, which has, you know, this sort of Tabla Indian note to it, then stuffing and then last but not least a gravy that I've been making for years with Apple Jack Brandy and apple cider. So you can have dinner on the table and probably a half hour with not a whole lot of work.Suzy Chase: I'll say hey, look what I made everyone. They'll say, this is delicious. Where can we find you on the web social media and your restaurant here in the village?Dan Kluger: Website is dk@dankluger.com. Social media is Dan_Kluger, LoringPlaceNYC,on social media, as well as our new restaurant opening this December called Penny Bridge LIC and then both of them are PennyBridgelic.com and LoringPlacenyc.com.Suzy Chase: Thanks so much Dan, for coming on Cookery by the Book podcast.Dan Kluger: Thank you.

Keeping kids, specifically girls, in school can really be the key to… stopping the cycle of poverty and hunger,” says Burbano. Cardoz discusses how chefs can shine a spotlight on an issue. “Chefs do have a voice now. These [TV] shows are making us superstars, but no matter which show we are on, we care about what we do, we care about feeding and keeping people happy,” says Cardoz.

Can the U.S. farm-to-table movement inform anti-hunger programs in developing countries? This episode takes an international turn with renowned chef and restaurateur Floyd Cardoz (Bombay Bread Bar, Bombay Canteen, O Pedro) and World Food Programme (WFP) School Feeding Division Director Carmen Burbano for part one of a two-part conversation with host Billy Shore. Indian-born Cardoz says that while the focus on using local ingredients in the U.S. has created economic opportunities for small farmers and suppliers here, people in India still prefer imported food. His restaurants in India are teaching people that traditional, local ingredients can be cool. “If we sustain the community, we sustain the food source, food gets cheaper, more people eat,” he explains. Burbano discusses how WFP connects the demand created by its school feeding programs to smallholder farmer markets in many countries. “This has generated income and livelihood opportunities for millions of farmers, many of them women… and kids are automatically getting more nutritious food,” she notes. In addition to farmers, Burbano discusses developing networks to disseminate nutrition information to pregnant women and young mothers. In Peru, which was battling a childhood anemia epidemic, WFP teamed up with the country’s chef community to create a cooking show (Cocinar con Causa) around better eating and cooking habits to fight anemia. “Chefs have a very important influence on how people choose to eat what they eat,” she says. In India, Cardoz is trying to overcome cultural barriers to teach his community to give back. “Indians believe in giving to the gods, but not so much giving to the community,” he says. He founded a culinary event that brings the community together to raise money for designated causes. “People do want to give, but they don’t know how,” he explains. Join us for this important conversation about innovative solutions to international hunger issues.

Bring It!Tried and True Recipes for Potlucks and Casual EntertainingBy Ali Rosen Suzy Chase: Welcome to the Cookery by the Book Podcast, with me, Suzy Chase.Ali Rosen: I'm Ali Rosen, and my new book is Bring It! Tried and True Recipes for Potlucks and Casual Entertaining.Suzy Chase: You have been nominated for an Emmy for your show Potluck, and two IACP awards, and named a Forbes 30 under 30. Plus, Thrillist once said that you had one of the coolest jobs in food. I love it. Now, your new cookbook, Bring It!, is all about potlucks and casual entertaining. Talk a little bit about that.Ali Rosen: Well, this book is really the culmination of everything I've learned in my career. I'm so lucky to do my show, where I get to talk to chefs, and cookbook authors, and creators all day. And I was just excited to share some of what I've learned, and my recipes. And so, the book is really all about answering that question of, "What can I bring?" Because you know, the dinner parties that we do today, I think are really different to the formal parties people used to have. Everybody's always bringing something, people are always coming together by bringing different dishes. So, this book is 100 recipes that can kind of answer that question.Suzy Chase: So, let's start off with talking about how to use this cookbook. In particular, the badges. How do we use those?Ali Rosen: The badges were really important to me because as somebody who kind of flips through a cookbook a lot, as you obviously do, I ... You know, sometimes I'm looking for something specific, and I don't know whether it's going to fit into that category. And when I, as I started testing recipes, I really sort of found that, when you're bringing food to an event, or to a dinner, they kind of need to fall into one of three categories, or in multiple categories. One is "day ahead," because you oftentimes have to go to an event, and you need to make it ahead. One is "fridge to table," because oftentimes, there isn't an oven there, you need to just be able to bring something and have it come straight from the fridge. The third is "30 minutes or less," because we all kind of run out of time when we're cooking, and we need something to be quick. So, I wanted to divide the book in that way, and some of the recipes fall into all three categories, some of them don't fall into any. But it's kind of a good way, as you're flipping through the book, to really figure out if there's something in particular you need, that it's there.Suzy Chase: So, in the cookbook, you wrote, "There's an art to a meal where all the food is made ahead and brought in. It should be an orchestrated dance of different cooks and different kitchens all coming together at one table for a meal that feels both cohesive and simple." That's easy for you to say. So, how do we ensure that this meal is successful?Ali Rosen: Well, I think the most important thing is planning. You know, I think that when people think of potlucks, they think, "Okay, great, I'll just tell everybody to bring something, and then it'll be fine." And then, you know, you end up with like six salads and three desserts, and nobody has a main course. So, you can get out of a lot of the cooking by having everybody bring different things, but you, at the very base level, need to kind of give people direction. You know, assign people, say, "Okay, you're making the salad, you're making a meat, you're making a vegetable side, and you're making the dessert." And then that gives people the context. You also want to give people the context of what they have to cook with. Do you have oven space? Do you have fridge space? Do they need to bring their own utensils? Do they need to bring a knife, if it needs to be cut? Those kinds of things that just, kind of, thinking through how you're going to set it up, and who's bringing what, will save you a ton of time on the back end, because then you're not scrambling to figure out who's bringing what. So, especially in today's age, I mean, there's so many great programs online or through email. You can just have people check a box. And I think that organization from the outset can make a potluck feel really cohesive, even though different dishes are coming out of different kitchens.Suzy Chase: Speaking of setup, going to potlucks, there are always the hurdles of transporting the food, storing the food, and issues with the food sitting out. What are your tips for that?Ali Rosen: I think the biggest thing is not to overcook. You know, a lot of people think, "Okay, I'm going to make this dish, and then it's going to be totally done. I'm going to cover it, and then I'm going to transport it while it's hot." And what people forget is that food keeps cooking, especially if it's covered, even if you're only traveling 15 or 20 minutes to somebody's house. So, you really have to think through, if you need to reheat something, you want to let it completely cool down, uncovered, before you put it in the fridge. You want to undercook it a little bit, so that when you put it back in the oven, you don't overcook it. And you just want to think through whether you can serve it at room temperature or not. Because I find that, at a lot of potlucks, people get so worked up about serving hot food, when there's so many great dishes that you can serve at room temperature. The flip side of that is, of course, food safety. If you're having an outdoor picnic, and it's really hot outside, and it's the summer, you do want to make sure that you're only taking things out of the fridge right when people are ready to eat, because you also don't want it to sit around all day. Not just for food safety reasons, but because you don't want the food to start looking sad. You know?Suzy Chase: Yes.Ali Rosen: So it changes everything. Again, it's, so much of it is just sort of thinking through the dish as a whole, rather than just the cooking piece of it. People think through the recipe, and they don't think through the steps from getting it from point A to point B. And that can be really easy, you just have to plan ahead.Suzy Chase: As a mom, I find that potlucks are a bit of a competition. Like, when our kids get together, it's always like, "Hey, I made this chicken blah blah blah," and then I brought hummus.Ali Rosen: Right.Suzy Chase: So ...Ali Rosen: Yeah. I usually bring the wine in those cases. Like, "Well, I'm sorry, here's your wine."Suzy Chase: "And I have cups, too."Ali Rosen: Yeah, exactly. "I brought cups."Suzy Chase: So, you have a show called Potluck, that I have been watching here in New York City since it launched in 2013. You talk food and drink with various chefs, cookbooks authors, and restaurateurs. Did you get any inspiration for your cookbook from your show?Ali Rosen: Oh my god, I get inspired every day. You know, I had an untraditional background into food. I actually started my career in news production, and then I moved over to food. So, I don't have that culinary school background that a lot of people who are journalists or in the food industry have. And I always like to say, "I went to the greatest cooking school in the world," which is, I get to learn from chefs every day. When I have a question about something, you know, I then find somebody to teach me how to do it, and that's a segment for my show. I mean, this afternoon, I'm going to a bakery to talk about how to make perfect scones, because I really want to perfect my scones recipe. So, I feel like I have a fun perspective, because I still come at it from the perspective of a home cook. I don't have that classical training. So, I feel like my recipes can approach things in the same way that everybody at home does. I mean, I am a mom, I'm busy, I'm always trying to find a quick and easy way to do something. But on the other side of that, I've just been so lucky to learn from all the best people in the industry. And a lot of the book mentions that. There's a watermelon ribs recipe that has this watermelon sauce that was inspired by, I did a segment with Floyd Cardoz, who has a new restaurant now, the Bombay Bread Bar. But he had a fish with a watermelon sauce, and it just inspired me to say, "Ooh, I'd love to do a watermelon sauce on something. Ooh, how about ribs?" So, so many of my recipes are kind of like, I'll taste something or try something, or learn a technique from a chef, and it just kind of takes off from there. So my show has really inspired the book, just because I get to learn every day, which is pretty lucky.Suzy Chase: That's exactly how I feel with this cookbook podcast. I'm just a mom, and a home cook, and I learn something from every cookbook.Ali Rosen: Right. But that, I think that makes you ... It's funny, because you know, there was this moment, sort of early in my career, where I thought about, "Oh, I should really take time away and go to culinary school." And I'm glad that I didn't, because I think that there's a very big difference between cooking in a restaurant kitchen and cooking at home. And I think that a lot of people today, this is why so many blogs are popular, and podcasts, and people who don't come at it from a traditional background, because we're all just trying to make things work. We're all just trying to make something that works for our family and our kids, and we don't have, you know, 20 people prepping the ingredients for us. And we're not buying in bulk, and we're not making things in the same quantities and sizes, and we're not making the same recipes over and over and over again. So, restaurants have a totally different perspective than people cooking at home. And so, when I look at cookbooks, the cookbooks that I love, they do tend to be from people who come at it from that angle. Because that's the perspective that I have when I'm looking at a cookbook, and I'm trying to come up with something for dinner, or for a party. And I'm just like, "God, I just want to have something that's easy, but everybody thinks is really impressive." That's always the goal.Suzy Chase: You know, I never thought about having a theme for my potluck. That is brilliant.Ali Rosen: Yeah, well, I think people want to have a direction. Like, oftentimes, I'll get invited to something, and they'll say, "Oh, bring a dessert." And I'm like, "Well, what kind of dessert? What else are people bringing? Is somebody else bringing a cake? Should I bring a cake? Should I bring cookies? Is somebody else going to bring cookies?" I mean, I think that if you have a theme, you can give people ... First of all, you can give people an exciting way to kind of explore a new cuisine, or a new topic that they've never really thought of before. And we kind of all do themed potlucks even when we don't think about it, right? Like, Thanksgiving is kind of a themed potluck.Suzy Chase: Yeah.Ali Rosen: You know, Easter is often a kind of a themed potluck. I mean, we have a lot of holidays that we think of as potlucks. And then, there are some holidays, like Cinco de Mayo, or Saint Patrick's Day, where we tend to cook other cultures' foods because we've sort of adopted these holidays into our own. But there's no reason to not say to your friends, like, "Hey, let's have a potluck. You know what, let's all do Italian food." Or, "Hey, let's all do great summer vegetables right now, 'cause that's what's in season." You know, there's no reason to not give people a direction to go in, because then, again, even though everyone's cooking in a different kitchen, you're going to have a meal that actually feels cohesive, rather than like, "Well, over here we have quesadillas, and over here we have cheesy pasta." Those are two kind of similar things, but they're totally different. So if you just say, "Hey, let's all make Mexican food today, and you're going to bring the guacamole, and you're going to bring tortillas, and you're going to look in some cool cookbook that you have for a recipe we didn't even know existed." I mean, that can kind of create a fun theme. And, when you talk about that competitiveness among potlucks, it actually sort of brings people together, if everybody feels like they're kind of in it together, doing something new, they're not bringing the thing that they always bring. It kind of creates a fun element for it.Suzy Chase: You had a lot of cookbook authors give you great advice. One in particular was Dorie Greenspan. What advice did she give you for this cookbook?Ali Rosen: Oh my goodness. Dorie is my hands-down favorite cookbook author. I have every one of her books, and I use them constantly. And she just has been such a guiding force, not just because I love her books, but because every time I've asked her for advice, she says yes. Which is exactly why people love her books, because she's so generous. And mostly, her advice was just to make sure that you pay attention to every piece of it. Because with a cookbook, when somebody buys a book, they're not only paying whatever they're paying for the book, but they're also buying ingredients, they're investing their time. And so, at every stage of the book, it was so important to me to make sure that every recipe worked, every photo looked exactly like what it could look like. All the photos ... We ate all the food, after we made it, for the photos, for the book. So, the best advice that I've been given is just, don't ever hand over any part of the process. You know, work with people, I have a great team of people collaborating on this book, from the editor to the photographer, to the food stylist and prop stylist. But you just want to make sure everything works and looks great. Because at the end of the day, you're only as good as the worst recipe in the book. So, when somebody goes to make it, if it doesn't work out for them, it doesn't matter than 99 out of 100 recipes are great, 100 have to be great. So, I've learned that from talking to authors like Dorie, and everybody else who's been so generous with their time.Suzy Chase: Popcorn. I've never thought about bringing popcorn to a party or potluck. You have five different flavored popcorn recipes in the cookbook. Describe those.Ali Rosen: Yeah, I'm a little bit of a popcorn fanatic. I tend to have it like every afternoon. And I love adding flavors to my popcorn. I think that when we think of adding flavors, we think of that, kind of like, caramel popcorn in the mall, you know, when you buy those tins that come in like, butter, cheese, and caramel. And that, I mean, that's kind of complicated to make. So, I just, for many years, have had ideas about adding flavor to popcorn without making it too heavy, and without making it difficult to carry. So, the book has five different recipes, and they kind of range from a pizza flavor, which is tomato paste and some dried basil, and sprinkle in some Parmesan cheese, to sweet versions, cocoa powder and sugar. And so, it's really these different recipes that are using flavors, but it's not quite as heavy as what you would think. And so, it's great to bring to a party, especially like a Super Bowl party, or an Oscars party, where everyone's kind of sitting around watching something. And it's also great as a gift. If you want to go to somebody's home, and they're making dinner, and they haven't asked you to bring anything, it's a great little gift. You know, you find a little bag, you put it in, you tie it up. And they don't have to eat it right then, but it's kind of a fun extra thing to bring. And everybody likes popcorn, so why not?Suzy Chase: So talk about the recipe testing process.Ali Rosen: Yeah, the recipe testing process for this book was really fun for me, because I have two siblings, and they both live here in New York with me, and they both have wonderful significant others. And every Thursday night, we would get together and they would test recipes. And I would, you know, spend the whole week working on new things, and tweaking things, and by Thursday it was like, "All right, I've got this down, this is going to be great." And then, they'd give it the thumbs up or the thumbs down. And they all have really different palates, they have different things that they like. My brother is very meat and potatoes. My brother-in-law is very, you know, he doesn't like cheese, he doesn't like this, he doesn't like that. My sister likes really comforting, homey foods. My brother's girlfriend doesn't really like seafood. I mean, it was like, if I could find dishes that they all liked, I felt like, "Okay, this is a winner." And there were a lot of recipes that didn't make it in the book, 'cause they weren't that great. And then, I had a team of people testing all over the country. You know, I put out a call on Facebook, and just said, "Hey, anybody want to try some recipes?" And I had 50 people from all over the country and all over the world saying, like, "Yeah, I'm game." And so, these recipes were really such a labor of love, and tested, tested, tested, tested, tested. Because, you know, every time you tweak it, it can get a little bit better. And so, I just was so lucky to have so many friends and family kind of make sure that this book really worked. Because I think that's what we all want, when we buy a cookbook. We want to believe that every recipe works. And it's not always the case, so that was the most important thing to me.Suzy Chase: Over the weekend, I made your recipe for pistachio and anchovy pasta, on page 93. In the description, you wrote, "Sometimes the best meals happen when you least expect it." How did this recipe come about?Ali Rosen: Yeah, this was one of those just lovely, serendipitous moments of, I was on a trip to Italy with my husband, and we were driving. And we were just so hungry, and we stopped and parked the car in a town called Siena. We just were like, "Okay, we're just going to sit down at the first restaurant we see," thinking it would be kind of a throwaway meal, which is sort of disappointing when you're on vacation in Italy, but we were just so hungry. And we sat down, and we ordered this pistachio-anchovy pasta, and it was like a revelation, because it wasn't too heavy on the pistachios, it wasn't too heavy on the anchovies. You know, you might not even notice either ingredient at first, but it was just kind of like a pesto-like sauce on this pasta. And it was so perfect, and I just thought, "Well, god, this has to be something that you could make at home," because it seemed so simple, but it's so flavorful. And it's turned into one of my favorite recipes in the book, because I just, to me, the best kind of recipe is a recipe that takes less than 30 minutes that also people are really impressed by. So, I think that one was just one of those where, it was just the total lightning bolt of inspiration, of like, "Hey, why haven't we been combining pistachios and anchovies all this time?"Suzy Chase: For dessert, I made the strawberry sandwiches on page 196. I was really surprised to see that this was from a Japanese recipe.Ali Rosen: Yeah, I mean, that was another sort of ... Just, you know, you learn so much when you travel. And I was in Japan a few years ago, just on vacation, and I was sort of expecting it to be like a sushi and ramen bonanza, and the thing that I was so surprised by was how much Japanese food and culture we don't even see here, that doesn't make it here. And one of the things that I just sort of fell in love with was that the Japanese love sweet sandwiches, which is not something we really think of. You know, we tend to think of a sandwich as being in the savory camp, but actually, if you have a piece of light white bread, it's kind of like ... You know, the strawberry sandwiches is kind of like a strawberry shortcake in a different form. The bread, it's kind of just the vehicle, and then you have the strawberries and the whipped cream. I mean, as you saw here, this is a recipe that, yeah, it's great when strawberries are really in season. But it's still fun, you know, if you can get strawberries, and you can make some good cream, it's a really fun, messy, gooey, lovely recipe. I made this for my sister-in-law's baby shower recently, and it was just so fun, 'cause people are picking it up, and surprised, and it just kind of makes people smile.Suzy Chase: Where can we find you on the web and social media?Ali Rosen: So, my website is potluckwithali.com, which has all of my segments with chefs, and recipes from chefs, and some of my own recipes. And then, on social media, I am Ali_Rosen, A-L-I-underscore-R-O-S-E-N. Because if you find the regular AliRosen, it's a bikini fitness model who's taken my name. She must wonder why she gets tagged in food photos all the time. People will say to me, "Oh, I tagged you in something." I'm like, "Nope, that's my Florida-based doppelganger, who focused on a different, is definitely focused not on eating strawberry sandwiches at the moment." But yeah, that's where you can find me online, and yeah, every Thursday on NYC Life for any listeners that are in New York. But you can watch the whole show online, as well.Suzy Chase: Now I'm ready to tackle the next potluck, picnic, or dinner party.
