Join thousands of other listeners on our Substack, The Foodletter! In this insightful episode, Brooke sits down with the multi-hyphenate culinary voice J. Kenji López-Alt to discuss his unconventional journey from biology student to architecture major to professional cook—and ultimately, one of the most influential food writers of our time. Kenji opens up about the roots of The Food Lab, the success of The Wok, his love of food science, and how personal experiences shaped his approach to recipe development. From peeling 1,000 eggs in a data-driven experiment to publishing a children's book about expanding food preferences, Kenji's blend of curiosity, humor, and rigor shines throughout. He also shares his recent journey to sobriety, offering a powerful and honest reflection on what it means to live with intention. Whether you're a professional cook, home chef, or food lover, this conversation will leave you inspired to explore, experiment, and cook with greater understanding. Key Takeaways [01:22] Early Influences: Despite not growing up food-obsessed, Kenji's culinary passion emerged during college and blossomed through unexpected restaurant work. [07:26] The Food Lab Origin: A freelance $30 article on boiling eggs sparked the wildly successful Food Lab series and cookbook. [10:15] Finding His Voice: Inspired by Mr. Wizard and Jacques Pépin, Kenji combines education and entertainment to empower readers. [15:56] Testing with Integrity: Kenji conducted a 1,000-egg experiment with volunteer testers to scientifically identify the easiest method for peeling boiled eggs. [19:12] Behind the Cookbooks: The Food Lab began as a 300-page contract and grew into a 958-page tome—followed by The Wok, which evolved from a single missing chapter. [26:53] Favorite Recipes: From a chickpea-spinach stew to his mom's Mapo Tofu, Kenji highlights family-friendly, simple, and flexible favorites. [31:45] Every Night Is Pizza Night: His children's book was born from a desire to teach openness toward food and push back against “best recipe” culture. [41:00] On Sobriety: Kenji shares his deeply personal journey toward sobriety, how alcohol once shaped his decisions, and why he chose to speak publicly to help others. Notable Quotes (9:52) “I wanted to write the kind of cookbook I wish I had when I was learning to cook.” (13:05) “We take food seriously, but not ourselves.” (33:00) “Pizza might be your favorite food, but is it the best food for every occasion?” (44:57) “Addiction thrives in isolation.

Send us a textAward-winning travel writer Gwen Pratesi takes us on a remarkable journey of transformation from corporate professional to culinary explorer in this candid conversation about finding your calling through life's unexpected detours.When her husband was diagnosed with stage four colorectal cancer in 2009, Gwen found inspiration in a Mediterranean cruise that sparked a food blog—launching at the dawn of digital content creation alongside pioneers like Pioneer Woman and Steamy Kitchen. What began as a flexible way to work while supporting her husband through treatments evolved organically into culinary tours, chef interviews, and eventually a James Beard Foundation Award nomination that surprised even Gwen herself.Now contributing to U.S. News & World Report, Frommer's, Garden & Gun, and numerous travel publications, Gwen reveals the authentic process behind travel journalism. She speaks candidly about preferring solo trips to find unique angles, navigating the challenges of travel mishaps in Vietnam and why Alaska remains her favorite destination despite temperatures reaching 40 below. For aspiring writers, her insights on crafting compelling narratives from personal experiences offer invaluable guidance.PR professionals will appreciate Pratesi's straightforward advice about journalist relationships: research writers' beats before pitching, allow adequate response time and be transparent about coverage expectations from the start.

The James Beard Awards are kind of like the NBA season: They crown the champs, and it seems like training camps start two days later.Making the cyclical process all the more tolerable is how well Milwaukee does — a trend that continued when the James Beard Foundation named its semifinalists earlier this week. Since we're in the back-patting business, that's where we start this episode of the podcast.The nominees fell into two camps, the first of which is the expected announcements. The “Best Chef: Midwest” category is a prime example, with plenty of familiar names on the list:Dan Jacobs and Dan Van Rite of EsterEvKyle Knall of BirchRoss Bachhuber and Sam Ek of Odd DuckJamie Brown-Soukaseume and Chuckie Brown-Soukaseume of Ahan in MadisonThe other individual from our area to earn a nomination is Gregory León of Amilinda, who landed in the category “Outstanding Chef presented by Hilton.” But Milwaukee didn't stop there. We also scored a couple non-restaurant nods, as Bryant's Cocktail Lounge is up for “Outstanding Bar” and the forward-thinking hybrid cocktail lounge Agency (in the Dubbel Dutch Hotel) is in the category “Best New Bar.”We'll wait patiently for the finalists to be announced April 2, and then again for the winners at the annual awards ceremony June 16. In the meantime, here's what else you'll hear about in this episode:Now that the Cheel is no more, you might be looking for other places to get Himalayan cuisine in Milwaukee. Ann's got you covered.Maider Kitchen Restaurant will bring a Hmong-focused menu to Phongsavan Asian Market on North 76th Street.If you're in the mood for a traditional five-course Lao dinner, book a spot at Lucky Ginger's event Feb. 20.The Pfister will throw a 90th birthday gala for legendary chef and author Jacques Pépin, featuring more than 20 chefs from throughout Wisconsin.

Over more than half a century as an editor at Knopf, Judith Jones became a legend, nurturing future literary icons such as Sylvia Plath, Anne Tyler, and John Updike. But although I was an English major, I first learned of Judith Jones years later, when I realized that Edna Lewis, M.F.K. Fisher, Claudia Roden, Madhur Jaffrey, James Beard, and, most famously, Julia Child, all had the same editor -- her. Judith celebrated the art and pleasures of cooking and culinary diversity, and in the process changed the way Americans think about food. Sara Franklin's new book, The Editor, is a highly anticipated biography of Judith that details her astonishing career, and it is my suggestion for a perfect summer read. Sara is a writer and editor in her own right with bylines including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Nation. In this conversation, we delve into the nature of serious cookbooks, the art and craft of recipe writing, and the cultural significance of writing about food. Sara writes and teaches at New York University's Gallatin School for Individualized Study, so this conversation with me was via zoom from her home in Kingston, NY.

Jacque Pepin was born in 1935 in Bourg-en-Bresse, France, near Lyon, Pépin always found the kitchen to be a place of both comfort and excitement. He helped in his parents' restaurant, Le Pélican, and, at age 13, began an apprenticeship at the Grand Hôtel de L'Europe. He subsequently worked in Paris, ultimately serving as personal chef to three French heads of state, including Charles de Gaulle.
He's worked as the personal chef for French President Charles de Gaulle, co-hosted a television series with Julia Child and has authored over 30 cookbooks. There's simply no one in the world like French chef – and culinary icon – Jacques Pépin. The Emmy- and James Beard Foundation Award winner worked in more than 100 restaurants before becoming the Director of Research and Development for Howard Johnson's. He then transitioned to educating the public in proper French cooking methods through his groundbreaking cookbooks like “La Technique” and his latest, “Jacques Pépin Cooking My Way: Recipes and Techniques for Economical Cooking;” as well as through his numerous television series like “Today's Gourmet” and “Every Day Cooking.” He is also the co-founder of the culinary certificate program at Boston University and founder of The Jacques Pépin Foundation, which teaches underserved populations a path to employment through cooking. Alec speaks with Chef Pépin about how his family's work in restaurants influenced his path, why he's made the pivots he has throughout his career, and what a revered chef likes to eat in his downtime.

How to shock a badass woman chef In our fourth episode, Nancy talks about winning the James Beard Award for Best Pastry Chef in 1991, and how aghast the presenter, French chef and cookbook author Madeleine Kamman, was that an upstart from California had beat out two famous men with French and Swiss training. The predicted winner was the legendary Albert Kumin, the original pastry chef of The Four Seasons who went on to work in Jimmy Carter's White House kitchen and founded the now-closed International Pastry Arts Center in in Elmsford, N.Y.“He is one of the only people I know who can labor relentlessly in the kitchen, covering the work of three, while remaining totally calm, good-humored and friendly,” Jacques Pépin once told Nation's Restaurant News about Kumin, who died in 2016 at the age of 94.Happily the other nominee is still with us. At the time, Jacques Torres was working at Le Cirque where he was famous for, among other things, his miniature edible stove. The youngest person to ever become a Meilleur Ouvrier de France, Torres was Dean of Pastry at The Culinary Institute for 30 years. Today he runs his own chocolate empire. As for Madeleine Kamman … she was a complete badass. She was an outspoken chef, a champion of women and a legendary teacher. Paul Bocuse once called her restaurants “the best in America,” and she was the author of many books, the most notable being “When French Women Cook.” Laurie keeps a copy of “The New Making of a Cook,” the 1997 revision of Kamman's first cookbook, on her shelf of encyclopedic cookbooks between Shirley Corriher's “CookWise” and Marion Cunningham's “The Fannie Farmer Cookbook,” with Julia Child's “The Way to Cook” a respectful few books away since it's likely neither of them would have liked to be beside each other. Kamman had a famous rivalry with Julia Child. She pointed out that Julia was neither French nor a chef, but simply an American cooking teacher. Madeleine, on the other hand, was a trained chef with a successful restaurant who also wrote cookbooks and had a television show. “I am not for comparing people, any more than you can compare Picasso to anyone,” she opined with typical modestly. A few years ago Mayukh Sen wrote this article about her in the New Yorker. What we like best about Madeleine? In 1990, she told the L.A. Times writer Rose Dosti that the next generation of great chefs would be American rather than French, and would consist of a 50-50 ratio of women and men. The 50-50 ratio hasn't quite worked out yet, but Nancy's win the following year at the James Beard Awards showed that the change Madeleine predicted was already underway. That 1991 ceremony, by the way, was the first time the James Beard Awards as we know them were presented. Nancy had to remind Ruth that she had written about the ceremony — and about Kamman's reaction to Nancy's win — in the L.A. Times, not to mention at least one chef's complaint about a young Wolfgang Puck winning Outstanding Chef of the Year. Here's an excerpt:“Like every awards ceremony, this one had its moments of controversy. Madeleine Kamman, who was sitting in the front row, shuddered visibly when Nancy Silverton was awarded the prize for best pastry chef over Albert Kumin, the dean of American pastry. ‘Albert Kumin changed pastry in this country,' Larry Forgione of New York's An American Place, said later. ‘His achievement should have been recognized. And if Chef of the Year was for career achievement,' he went on, ‘why wasn't Andre Soltner (the legendary chef/owner of Lutece) nominated?' The answer seems to be that … the Beard Awards are centered on the food revolution that has swept America. … So it should come as no surprise that Chef of the Year went to America's highest-profile young chef, Wolfgang Puck.”It was actually a call Ruth received from New York Times reporter Julia Moskin that got our conversation started about the James Beard Awards. She asked if Ruth would comment on the organization after chef Timothy Hontzas of Johnny's Restaurant in Homewood, Alabama, was disqualified as a best chef in the South nominee following an allegation that he habitually yelled at his staff and customers. (Hontzas told The Times that the incidents “were not as severe as the accusers described.” He also said that none of the incidents rose to the level of an ethics violation.) The disqualification, an action taken without consulting all of the restaurant awards committee members — who oversee the annual nominee selections on a volunteer basis — led one committee member and a separate judge to resign in protest.Ruth declined the request for comment by Moskin, who teamed with Brett Anderson for an extensive story on the messy process of trying to make the James Beard Awards more equitable and diverse. The article opened with the organization's investigation into an anonymous complaint about Kentucky-raised chef Sam Fore, whose TukTuk pop-up draws on her Sri Lankan family roots. Fore, who was surprised to discover that her social media posts advocating for victims of domestic violence were the subject of the investigation, said the process was “an interrogation.” Ultimately, she was able to remain a nominee in the Best Chef: Southeast category, although the award went to Terry Koval of The Deer and the Dove in Decatur, Georgia.It's not the first time the organization has come under scrutiny. In 2005, the president of the James Beard Foundation, Leonard F. Pickell was convicted of stealing more than fifty thousand dollars from the foundation. He was sentenced to one to three years and served about 9 months. He passed away two years later. At this year's awards ceremony in June, the restaurant awards committee chair Tanya Holland — who is also an acclaimed cookbook author and chef of the late great Brown Sugar Kitchen in Oakland (fantastic cornmeal waffles) — said from the podium that New Orleans legend Leah Chase once gave her some advice that seemed to apply to the stresses the organization is undergoing as it tries to find the best way to ensure the awards are fair and equitable: “‘Be prepared to get a lot of criticism in this industry, and work with it; you will make mistakes. The important thing is where your heart is and how you move on.' The universe knows I've made numerous mistakes.”L.A. Times journalist Stephanie Breijo, reporting on the ceremony, wrote that Holland told the audience “she has become comfortable being uncomfortable, adding that she is motivated to make the industry better. The efforts of the foundation have made a difference in the diversity of the awards' nominees and winners, she said, and should be commended.“We're learning as we go,” Holland said. “It's not always smooth, but that doesn't mean we're not on the right path.”Three Ingredients is a reader-supported publication.

Laurie talks about the closing in May of Los Angeles' Nickel Diner, which wasn't technically a 20th century restaurant (it opened in 2008) but had a 20th century soul. Laurie wrote about her last meal at the Nickel, run by Monica May and Kristen Trattner, for the L.A. Times Tasting Notes newsletter. The table was loaded with scrambles, biscuits, homemade pop tarts and of course a maple bacon doughnut, plus marmalade made from blood oranges grown by the artist Ed Ruscha. Here's an excerpt of the story:All around us customers are giving hugs to May and Trattner as well as Nickel Diner's servers, many of whom have worked at the Main Street spot for years and have become familiar faces. The customers also hug each other because it's a kind of reunion for many who are part of the L.A. tribe in love with the diner and the tattooed punk-rock aesthetic that came with the place.“We're a 20th century restaurant,” May tells us by way of explanation of why she and Trattner think it's the right time to close. Would they have stayed open if they had gotten one of their grants renewed to feed their neighbors living in the surrounding SROs or if inflation hadn't raised their operating costs or if the pandemic hadn't happened? Maybe.But they also feel a change in the city. A few blocks away Suehiro Cafe, another 20th century restaurant that has been on Little Tokyo's 1st Street for decades and may be the closest thing we have to a “Midnight Diner,” is being forced to move to a new location on Main Street, not far from the Nickel Diner. What difference will a move make? When I walked by the space Suehiro will inhabit later this summer I saw a now-hiring sign and noticed that one of the new jobs listed is “barista.”Old-school Suehiro doesn't have a barista. Apparently, 21st century Suehiro will have barista-made drinks. If it helps the place stick around for a few more decades, I won't mind, as long as they still serve the okonomi plate with broiled mackerel and cold tofu. Because as Zen monk and teacher Shunryu Suzuki once told writer David Chadwick after he asked the master to summarize Buddhism “in a nutshell,” the answer came down to two words: “Everything changes.” Thank you for reading Three Ingredients. This post is public so feel free to share it.Eating off the cartFinally, we talk about the safety of food carts. In 1995, when Ruth wrote an article for the New York Times about how much she loved street food, she included this interesting detail: “If the idea of eating at food carts frightens you, consider this. Fredric D. Winters, a spokesman for the New York City Health Department, said that of the 1,600 cases of food poisoning reported by doctors in the last three years, only 8 were said to be from food vendors. Only one case actually proved to be food poisoning, and even that case could not definitely be tied to a cart.”You can read the entire article here. And in our bonus “Ingredients” post for paying subscribers, we'll share Ruth's recipe for a homemade version of the classic New York food cart dish, curry chicken and rice. This is a public episode.

Chef Jacques is a French chef, author, TV personality, culinary educator and artist. This recipe is from the book, and video series he did with his then 13-year-old granddaughter, Shorey, called A Grandfather's Lessons. Check out more great recipes in the video library on the Jacques Pépin Foundation website.Curly DogsServes 2For the Curly Dogs:2 hot dogs1 teaspoon peanut oil1 hamburger bun, split in halfAbout ½ cup pickle relishFor the Pickle Relish:1 dill pickle, cut into ¼-inch dice (about ¼ cup)¼ cup coarsely chopped mild onion, such as Vidalia or Maui¼ cup diced (¼-inch) tomato2 tablespoons sliced scallion1 tablespoon ketchup1 teaspoon hot chili sauce, such as Sriracha¼ teaspoon salt¼ teaspoon sugar#1. With a sharp paring knife, cut the hot dogs lengthwise about halfway through the meat. Then make crosswise cuts in each one, spacing them about 1/3-inch apart, and cutting about halfway through the meat. You should have about 12 cuts on each hot dog. #2. Heat the oil in a sturdy skillet. Add the hot dogs and cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes, shaking the pan so the hot dogs roll over and brown on all sides. They will start curling up into wheels.#3. While the hot dogs are cooking, toast the bun until it is crusty. Place a curly dog on each bun half, curling it into a wheel. Spoon the relish into the centers and serve.#4. For the Pickle Relish: combine all the ingredients in a bowl.

A crêpe is a thin pancake that's pliable enough to fold or roll around a filling. Jacques Pépin's method requires no blender and no putting the batter in the fridge to rest. The debate between Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis is Thursday. DeSantis wants to breathe life into his flailing presidential campaign, and Newsom looks to position himself as the top Democrat in 2028. Charlie Munger, Warren Buffet's business partner and Berkshire Hathaway's frugal guru, built an empire on buying “wonderful companies at fair prices.” He has died at age 99. A new book explains how the Rothschild family became the center of conspiracy theories, from who controls the world's banks to COVID's origins.

What is Good Food?On last week's podcast I spoke with chef Rollie Wesen. He's the executive Director of the Jacques Pépin foundation, as well as an assistant professor at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island. During our conversation we spoke about what "good food" is. This touched on seasonal cooking, and families having a sit-down meal together (or not). This side conversation didn't fit into our full-length conversation, but it was something we're both passionate about, so it made more sense to release it as a stand-alone mini-episode.But this episode isn't just about good food. If kids aren't learning to cook in school, and they're not learning to cook at home, are we only one generation away from people not knowing how to cook, or what good food tastes like? That's what we discuss in this episode.Rollie Wesen and The Jacques Pépin FoundationThe Jacques Pépin Foundation WebsiteThe Jacques Pépin Foundation's Instagram and FacebookRollie's InstagramJacques's cookbook New Complete TechniquesCHEFS WITHOUT RESTAURANTSIf you enjoy the show and would like to support it financially, please check out our Sponsorship page (we get a commission when you use our links).

As a child in eastern France, Jacques Pépin learned never to waste a scrap of food. Raised during and after the rationing of WWII, he watched closely as his mother, Jeanette, built a successful career as a restaurateur by the skin of her teeth (and her chickens). Today, Jacques is a beloved celebrity chef. And yet he's never forgotten what he knows about keeping food, and life delicious, without squandering ingredients or time. Jacques sits down with Host Claudia Hanna to explain how what he calls “miserly” cooking became his philosophy and his superpower. He shares how this approach has served him in the humblest, and the highest, of kitchens, and how you can apply it in yours, too. Plus – over Jacques' long career, there have been some pretty radical changes in people's attitudes about food waste. Food Historian Helen Veit joins us to explain why what we eat, and what we throw away, has changed so much in just a few generations. Hosted by Claudia Hanna Episode Guests: Jacques Pépin is a chef, author, television personality, educator, and artist, and has starred in twelve acclaimed American Public Television cooking series. His dedication to culinary education led to the creation of the Jacques Pépin Foundation in 2016. He is the winner of sixteen James Beard Awards and author of more than thirty books, the most recent of which is Jacques Pépin: Cooking My Way. Helen Veit specializes in the history of food in the U.S. Her first book, Modern Food, Moral Food: Self-Control, Science, and the Rise of Modern American Eating in the Early Twentieth Century was a 2014 James Beard Award finalist.

This week on I speak with chef Rollie Wesen. He's the executive Director of the Jacques Pépin foundation, as well as an assistant professor at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island. Rollie is married to Claudine Pepin, Jaques daughter. In talking with Jacques, they thought it would be a great idea to start a foundation while he was still alive, and create something that would have a lasting, positive affect on the world.Jacques decided that he wanted the foundation to focus on one singular mission. To support community kitchens that offer free life skills and culinary training to adults with high barriers to employment. Those barriers could be previous incarceration, homelessness, substance abuse issues, low skill or lack of work history. On this episode, we talk about how the foundation came to be, and have a more in-depth conversation about their mission, and what the future holds for the foundation. Rollie also shares some fun stories like the photographing of Jaques's cookbooks. And being a professor at Johnson & Wales University, we spoke about the state of culinary education today.Rollie Wesen and The Jacques Pépin FoundationThe Jacques Pépin Foundation WebsiteThe Jacques Pépin Foundation's Instagram and FacebookRollie's InstagramJacques's cookbook New Complete TechniquesCHEFS WITHOUT RESTAURANTSIf you enjoy the show and would like to support it financially, please check out our Sponsorship page (we get a commission when you use our links).
