It's a grass-fed cheese made with high standards not seen in American Parmesan cheese-making. Grass-fed cheese is loaded with microbes that come from the soil. Cows need the help of microbes to digest the fiber in the grass they consume. These microbes produce byproducts from the grass that help nourish the cow. The process of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese-making also involves microbes!Parmigiano Reggiano is made from 3 ingredients: high-quality cow's milk, salt, and an enzyme that turns the milk into cheese. U.S. Parmesan cheese also contains potassium sorbate. Parmigiano Reggiano is a raw product without fillers or preservatives that's aged at least 12 months. There are no aging requirements for Parmesan cheese. Some Parmigiano Reggiano is aged for 14 to 24 months, or longer. Microbes consume lactose during the aging process, so the finished product is often lactose-free. Parmigiano Reggiano has the following health benefits:•High in glutamate •Contains bioavailable calcium and phosphorus•Helps build glutathione, a potent antioxidant that supports liver health•Reduces blood pressure•Contains butyric acid, which supports brain healthParmigiano Reggiano has the highest amount of vitamin K2 compared to all other cheeses. Vitamin K2 redirects calcium in the arteries and joints to the teeth and bones. Parmigiano Reggiano contains MK-7, the most bioavailable form of vitamin K2.

Throwing cheese and shaky cheese are two very different things. In baseball, hard cheese refers to a powerful fastball, and probably comes from a similar-sounding word in Farsi, Urdu, and Hindi. Shaky cheese, on the other hand, is a slang term for Parmesan cheese, which many of us grew up shaking out of a can.

I had a real fun time chatting with Beth La Manach, whose new cookbook, “Entertaining 101” just released. Beth's YouTube channel is wildy entertaining and she is also on Substack so you can follow her Entertaining with Beth Now since Beth makes it so easy lets all get to Entertianing!EPISODE TRANSCRIPT:Stephanie Hansen:Hello, everybody. Welcome to Dishing with Stephanie's Dish. I'm Stephanie Hansen and I like to talk to people obsessed with food. In particular, I enjoy cookbook authors and today I'm with Beth Lamonic and she is the author of a cookbook that just the title alone, I feel like holy cats. That's so intimidating. It is called entertaining one zero one. Beth, that just makes you, like, right on the level of Martha Stewart in my brain. Were you nervous about calling it one zero one?Beth Le Manach:No. Because the way that I'm thinking about the title is it's really targeted towards beginners or veterans who just need it to be easier and quicker. And I think everybody loves a one zero one entry point because they know it's not gonna be intimidating. It's gonna be accessible.Stephanie Hansen:Well, you are not a one zero one in your chops. You have over 662,000 followers on YouTube. They were like, oh, she has a a YouTube channel. And I went to look. I was like, holy cats. Tell me the name of your YouTube channel because I forgot to write it down. Recipes for entertaining. Was that what it was called?Beth Le Manach:No. It's called Entertaining with Beth.Stephanie Hansen:Got it. Okay. So you also are very fascinating, but I'm gonna get to that part in just a second. Take me through, like, your journey of, like, the how you started the YouTube and how we are that you're just is this your first book?Beth Le Manach:Yes. It isn't my first book. I know. I've been in a long time. I know exactly. Yeah. So it's kind of a long story, but I'll give you the highlights. I started my YouTube channel because I was by trade a producer for television, lifestyle television, and I got my start with the Scripps network.Beth Le Manach:So Food Network, HGTV, Fine Living, I was producing a bunch of content for them. I saw everything going online, digital. So I was like, I wanna produce digital content for the web. I got a job at a company that had a huge order for YouTube. So this was right around 2011 when YouTube started getting grants to media companies to produce quality content so they could get the advertisers to actually advertise against it. Because up into that point, it was a lot of, you know, skate board tricks and cat videos and stuff like that. Yeah. And so since I had come up with all of this kind of lifestyle content, my boss was like, okay. Create a YouTube channel that women will love. And I was a new mom. I had two small kids, and I was into all this lifestyle content, but I knew nothing about YouTube. So I had to really learn what it was, and little by little, we started to just create content. That was food content, fashion, beauty, all the things that I thought, like, women would be interested in.And then one day, my boss came to me and said, you know what? We are, like, really behind on the hours here that we have to deliver. We gotta pep this up a bit. What do you got? And I was like, I think we should do, like, entertaining shows, like, thirty minute shows, like what we used to do for TV. Like, let's do the perfect dinner party. He's like he was like, well, who are we gonna get to do that? And I was like, me. I love to cook, and I have a lot of recipes. And at the time, I just bought a house, and I was like, you know, come to my house. You don't have to pay me.You're already paying me, and let's knock off a few of these episodes. So we did about 16 of them, and then my boss was like, you know, this is really resonating with people. Like and and it really hit me at that point that I thought, how is this new information for people? Because I had grown up with Martha Stewart and Ina Garten, and I just thought that everybody was watching this. But people at the time on YouTube were just getting into, like, all the beauty gurus, and those girls were now aging up and sort of, like, having their first apartment and getting married. And they weren't suddenly gonna go offline and go look at magazines and books. They were staying online.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah.Beth Le Manach:And I think that's where it really resonated. And so long story short, I did that until I started to do it full time, and now the channel is mine, and I just do it full time.Stephanie Hansen:It explains lots of things. One, how prescient of you to see this digital age coming. So very smart.Beth Le Manach:Yeah.Stephanie Hansen:Two, I always talk about first mover advantage. And whenever there's a new platform or something, I always make sure that I log on. I save my handle. Even if I don't know if I'm gonna use it or do anything with it, I I believe that being the first in a space or in in a being a handful of first in a space is part of what gets you that first mover advantage. So note to self people because there's gonna be a lot of social enterprises that are coming in our future. And then also, like, sometimes the keeping it simple is the best. Like, you just assume that everybody knows how to, you know, make a delicious apparel spritz, but necessarily they don't. So that what you can offer in your most authentic way is, valuable.And that's, I guess, why you did this as your first book because you seem like you really are taking and packaging a lot of this in a way that feels authentic to you, and that's what people want.Beth Le Manach:I think they do. I mean and I think that's what YouTube has really taught me is that there are thousands of chicken Parmesan recipes on YouTube, but people will still ask me, but we want your recipe. Not because my recipe is gonna be better than anybody else's recipe because there's only a couple of ways around making a chicken parm, but because they want my point of view. And I think that that's what makes YouTube so human, and that's why they called it YouTube because it is about you and how you how I prepare chicken parmesan recipe could be different than how you prepare it. And the things that we're gonna highlight could be different based on our own lived experience, and I think that's what makes it really human and really fun.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. Your show is also very beautiful. I just started doing a TV show, with Fox here locally, and lighting is so important. And my own YouTube is horribly lit and embarrassing. Yours is incredible.Like, do you have my normal lights set up?Beth Le Manach:No. My gosh. You know what my light setup is now? No lights. The light setup is no lights because I went round and round, and I have, you know, a lot of different experience. Like, I started with the big crew of seven people people that would come, and then I would go back, like, after COVID, and there was no people. And then I had to learn it all myself, and then I moved to France, and I was like, I can't carry all this stuff with me. I have gone back and forth on the lighting, and I always go back to the fact that, like, natural lighting for food is just the best lighting, and then just adjust the camera settings. Like, you're much better off doing that and know which angles of the kitchen give you the best softest light because that you can always reproduce the camera, but you can't always reproduce the exact temperature and light. And, like, that just was making me crazy. So I just decided to finish the lights.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. That is really the tip. Yes. I like it. You mentioned this move to France, and I I you have through the course of your channel and through the course career here. Also, you had a like, it sounded like a rental in France that you made into a full time home.Beth Le Manach:Yes. Exactly. So my husband is French, and we had been coming to France every year or so when we were married. And then we took a break when we had kids, and then we started to bring the kids when they were, like, five and two.Stephanie Hansen:So you and your husband moved to France, and he's French. Yes. So he's like your Jeffrey.Beth Le Manach:Yeah. You could say that. Yeah. He, he he definitely, has inspired me a lot, I think, with the French lifestyle and French cooking. And we would come to France every summer just to vacation, and then we thought, okay. Let's stop renting all these houses. Let's buy a house and then become the renter like, become the person renting. That was a better investment for us.Beth Le Manach:And then, I don't know, we just he got to a point in his life where he was like, I see all my friends retiring in France. That's where I wanna be. And I think that's the blessing and the curse of marrying a foreigner. At one point, they're gonna wanna go back, and you just have to be ready for that. So I was always ready for it because I've always loved France, and I just thought, like, that's a fun experience. Yeah. Let's go do that.Stephanie Hansen:Do you read David Leibovitz's blog?Beth Le Manach:Yes. I do. I love him. Yeah. He's great.Stephanie Hansen:I've learned so much. I have, relatives that are from Montreal, which is not France, but they've spent time in France. And Yeah. He just talks a lot about the difficulties of living in France and being an American transplant living in France.Are there things that you have found that you're just like, oh, I just wish I could get this or something that you're craving to miss?Beth Le Manach:Prepared broths and stocks. Like, you know, when you go in The States, you go to the grocery store and you see, like, a million organic chicken broth, beef broth, like, in every brand that takes up practically a whole file. Here, you cannot get that. You can get the cubes where you're making it, but it's like you're wasting a whole cube for two cups of broth, and you may not need the two cups of broth. Like, I love those little one cup ones that we can get in those days. That, we cannot get here. And I I don't know why. A lot of me thinks, like, it just takes up too much space on the shelves, and maybe the little cubes are better, but I do miss that.Stephanie Hansen:Do you have that better than bouillon product?Beth Le Manach:We don't have that. I have not seen that. Uh-uh. Like, there's a lot of different kinds of these little broth cubes too, and I've been trying all of them. Some of them are horrible, and some of them are okay, but there's nothing like the Swanson's chicken broth. Like, I really kinda miss that. I love that. And Land O'Lakes spread the butter.Beth Le Manach:Land O'Lakes butter. Even though we have a million wonderful butters here in France for baking, nothing is quite like the Land O'Lakes salted butter in my opinion.Stephanie Hansen:I live in Minnesota, the home of Land O'Lakes, so that makes me real happy. Alright. So entertaining one zero one is about simple, easy ways to start your entertaining life, whether it be like a signature cocktail for mom's brunch or an egg bake for Christmas or, just a simple, like, Friday night dinner party. What are some of your favorite entry points for entertaining?Beth Le Manach:Yeah. Well, I think brunch. I think brunch is the beginners, like, home run because there's no fancy roasts that you have to learn how to carve. It's pretty inexpensive because you're not serving a ton of wines and cocktails. It's fairly cheap too because of what you're making. It's eggs and bread and fruit. And it's easy because you can, like, prep in the morning, and then people come at, like, eleven. And it doesn't take the whole night.Beth Le Manach:Like, it's not gonna go on for hours and hours. Like, people usually leave around two or three. I just think it's a great entry point for people. Yeah. I mean, I think, you know, once you get into the holidays, like the Thanksgiving and the Christmas, you wanna get a few brunches under your belt, maybe a few dinners. I always say start with four, then have six, but don't ever start having 10 guests, which is what Thanksgiving is. So don't start there. Yep.Beth Le Manach:Because people usually get themselves so stressed out for entertaining because I think they don't start at the right entry point. And then they never wanna do it again because it was a big mess and, you know, it was so stressful because I think they didn't work their way up to it. You know what I mean?Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. I never thought about that, but that's really a clever way to think about it. I also think too choosing, like, the main dish and then building from there is helpful. Like Yes. I I don't know why I was afraid to cook salmon for forever, but, but, really, roasting a whole side of salmon is a great dish for entertaining.Beth Le Manach:Super easy, beautiful, super delicious. Yeah. I I think that people feel like they get sort of stressed out at all of the organization, like, the the timing of it. Because most people don't have, like, restaurant cook experience where everything is timed. So my philosophy is always, like, one or two things, two max that's, like, active cooking, The rest, assembly and the rest, premade. So, like, if you balance out the portfolio of dishes so that they're not all active cooking, it's just gonna make your life so much easier.Stephanie Hansen:And so Don't you think too, like, what I always discover with entertaining is people are just so delighted to come, to be invited to something. We don't do this enough.Beth Le Manach:We don't do it enough because I think people are afraid of how it's gonna go because maybe they had one or two bad experiences or because, you know, for better or for worse, I'm probably contributing to this, but there is so much food media out there between the blogs and the Instagram and the Pinterest and television and books that, like, it can get very overwhelming. What do you serve and, you know, where do you begin? That I really wanted to create, like, here are the hundred and one recipes that, like, everybody should just know how to make. Like, it's just should be part of your repertoire. Like, get the basics down first and get the ones that you crave. So, like, of course, everybody wants to know how to make a turkey at Thanksgiving or a key lime pie at Easter or barbecue chicken in the summer. Like, these are the things we are all sort of craving perennially. And if you can get those right, then you go to, like, one zero two, which is, you know, the more sophisticated flight files and that kind of thing.Stephanie Hansen:Second book, are you already thinking about it?Beth Le Manach:Oh my gosh. No. Because I'm still recovering from the first book. You know, you're a good book author. I had no idea how all consuming it is. In a good way. Of it taken. It was a definite two year project, you know, between the testing, the writing, the photography, like, all of it.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. What part did you love, and what part did you hate?Beth Le Manach:I really love the testing. You know? Like, really taking the time to test each recipe and getting excited about being able to share it, thinking of all of my subscribers that I've had over the years and thinking, oh, this person's gonna love this, and, oh, that person is really this is really gonna help that person. I love that. I love the writing. I didn't think I would love that as much, but I really love that, the stories and the tips and the kind of bringing the recipe to life. As much as I love the results of the photo shoot, that was probably the most exhausting, I think. And to have to then remake all a hundred and one recipes again. And, you know, at that point, it's not just me in the kitchen.It's a whole team of people and making sure, like, oh, that's not supposed to look like that or, like, oh, that crust shouldn't be like you know? And, like, that I found very taxing. But it was great to see all the photos at the end of the shoot. Like, oh, wow. We did all that.Stephanie Hansen:Did you have to cut some recipes, and was that hard to do?Beth Le Manach:We didn't I would cut them in the testing. We didn't we we basically shot everything that we planned, so that was great. But there were recipes that I just kept thinking, this is good, but it's too complicated, or this is not delivering on my motto of, like, minimum effort, maximum impact. This is, like, maximum effort from maximum impact, but, like, I didn't wanna go there. I wanted to keep it really easy and accessible for people. So those were the recipes that usually got the pitch.Stephanie Hansen:Was it harder? When did you move to France, and was this in the middle?Beth Le Manach:Yeah. It was. Of course. That was the craziest thing about it. We did the photo shoot in May, and we moved in June. So as soon as the, like, photo team left at the May, we were like, okay. Let's wrap it up. And we started to just put things in boxes and because I couldn't, like, take the whole house apart because I needed all the props, and I needed a certain amount of furniture and dishes and thing, you know, that I couldn't take.Beth Le Manach:So yeah. Stephanie Hansen:did you move all that stuff? Do you still have it? Because people don't realize, like, when you're styling photos, you know, you need all this stuff that you have.Beth Le Manach:You you need all this stuff, and I had a ton of props as we all do. You know, anybody that's in this business has a ton props. And I used them all for the cookbook, but I could not take them all with me to France. It's just it was gonna be too expensive. And I was actually afraid that some of them would break anyway, so I gave them to a lot of the, prop master who was working on the cookbook. Like, she took a a bunch. Everybody on the shoot took some, and we had a fully furnished house here in France that we were renting. So and, of course, every time I come, I would hit a flea market and buy more stuff.So, like, I just had no more rooms for any more stuff, so I just had to, you know, give away.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. That's it's kinda liberating and kinda freeing, though, in and of itself.Beth Le Manach:It is. It is.Stephanie Hansen:Who do you look up to for entertaining?Beth Le Manach:Oh, you know, all the greats. I love Martha Stewart. I love Ina Garten. I'm trying to think, like, if I there's a couple of substackers that I really love. There's a woman, little Chavita is the name of her substack. I let do you know her? Do you follow her substack? I think yeah. I just I love her sort of effortless elegance. I love things that don't feel overly fussy or feel overly staged.Beth Le Manach:Yeah. There's a lot of Instagrammers too that you just see that you're like, oh, yeah. I love that. I don't know. Yeah. I think and my parents, like, I love the way that they entertain, and I've always, like, looked up to their sort of style of entertaining.Stephanie Hansen:You mentioned, chicken parm experience, and I just happen to have read a whole thing about an influencer that apparently grabbed some very similar recipes from, some recipe writers and then repackaged them and put them in her book in Australia that's been, like, a multimillion bestseller. And I always worry and wonder about that because it's very hard to make a recipe your own for something like a chicken farm. And I really cooking very basic and presenting very basic recipes that people have been doing for forever and short of, like, saying, you know, I got inspiration or I adapted from. I do wonder if we're getting into this place where the Internet is just full of 6,000 chicken parmesan recipes that are all the same.Beth Le Manach:Yeah. I mean, I think what really, sets them apart though is the way you go about it. Like, I can remember a copyright lawyer telling me, like, you can't actually copyright the ingredients, but you can copyright the method. And I think, you know, for anybody who cooks a lot, there is a method that you go about making the recipe that's based on your experience, like the do's and more importantly the don'ts. Like, don't do that because you're gonna have a salvee chicken parm. Make sure you do this because it'll crisp up more. So, like, in my chicken parmesan video on YouTube, I labeled it a little bit different. I think it's something like the six tips to a great chicken parm, and that's just based on my experience.Like, fry it in a cast iron pan, presalt the chicken so that it's nice and juicy. Once it comes out of the pan, put it on a cooling rack with a, you know, something like a cookie rack so that it doesn't get all soggy. Add a little Parmesan tea. Like so I think that people make very classic recipes their own by adding their own personality and their own little tips and tricks that they've learned along the way to guarantee success. So I feel like, you know, even in the age of AI and everybody's like, oh, you know what? They're only gonna get these recipes from AI. It's like, yeah. But you're not gonna get that human experience of, like, here's what I did that doesn't work. Here's what I've done that works really well.So I think that's kind of our, you know, competitive edge, I guess, against the robots.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. And the superpower that maybe will separate, finally, the weed from the chaff as it were. Because if we are all then making similarly the same thing, it is how we're doing it and also how we're performing the content because, like, people get interested in you as a human and you as how you do things, and they wanna follow you and your point of view and think you're funny or whatever your superpower is.Beth Le Manach:Exactly. And that's why I think video is so powerful because that doesn't always come across on the printed page or with a photograph. But when you are on video and you're spending time, like, building this audience on YouTube, it is a way to connect in a more human way with people. And that also, when they search chicken parm and they see three or four results come up, if they already know you because they've watched your video, they you do feel like a friend to them, and they want your point of view. So I think, you know, it was worth all those years and years of uploads because it does help you, like, ingratiate yourself a little bit more to the audience. You know?Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. And, also, I think if you just this is a weird thing to say, but I've been thinking about this a lot because I have a speech later today, and and I wasn't sure what I was gonna speak about. And my husband's like, oh, are you gonna talk about women in business? I was like, no. I think I'm gonna talk about my regs to not riches story, which is, like, people have all these different experiences. Right? And you're always comparing yourself to other people or trying to measure up or trying to get as many likes or follows or comments. And really what I always keep coming back to is that people just want authentic, friendly, nice people in their kitchen to spend time with them.Beth Le Manach:I think so. A %. Especially if it's something that they're a little unsure about, they want the reassurance that, like, it's going to be okay. Like, yeah, we're gonna do it together. You know? Like, I think that that's very reassuring for people.Stephanie Hansen:One of the, recipes that I happen to see on your YouTube really just, like, blew my mind, and I think it's based on your French experiences about almond croissants.Beth Le Manach:Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's from the book.Great. It is in the book. Yeah.Stephanie Hansen:I'm obsessed with almond croissants, and what you did was you took day old croissants and then made, like, a beautiful almond filling, and voila, almond croissants. It's it never occurred to me that that would be a way that you could do that without, you know, like, laminating dough and I mean doing all the hard work.Beth Le Manach:Yeah. Well, I laughed out loud because I didn't realize, and my husband shared this with me when we were sort of newly married, that almond or croissants were made because that was a way that the bakeries could use up the day old croissants that didn't sell because very few things go to waste in France, especially foods. Then it, like, made perfect sense. Like, oh, of course. So if they're doing that, like, we could be doing that. Yeah. Absolutely. Have, like, the yeah.We just don't have the day old croissants, but, like, you can do it with fresh if you just split them open and let them dry out while you make the filling, and it's just as good.Stephanie Hansen:So you have an event that's coming up at Cooks At Crocus Hill, June Eighth, 4 PM. As we record this, there's only a few tickets left. So by the time it actually airs, you probably won't have the privilege of getting tickets unless you decide to do another night. Is that a possibility?Beth Le Manach:We don't know because I have to leave the next day for my next tour. So this is the thing that I yeah. I'm learning about the book tours is you have to be quick about it because it is expensive to go to all these cities.Stephanie Hansen:Yes. And how many citiesBeth Le Manach:are you going to on your tour? I'm going to seven.Stephanie Hansen:Okay. Okay. That is gonna be great. Yeah. So we are speaking with Beth Lamonic, and she is the author of entertaining one zero one. And you can find her book, recipes every host should know how to make. I thought that was a great subtitle too, by the way. Very clear. Everybody knew exactly what they were gonna be getting from your book. Do you have a Substack too, or how do you want people to follow it?Beth Le Manach:Yes. I do. I have a Substack. That would be great. People can follow me there. It's called entertaining with Beth.Stephanie Hansen:And how are you enjoying that as a platform?Beth Le Manach:I love it. I mean, this is the funny thing is, like, writing the cookbook did introduce me to this, like, other way to create, which is writing. And I think it came at the perfect time because we moved to France around the same time that I was doing more on Substack. So I share the recipes there, which are free. But then if people wanna be part of my paid community, once a month, I do an essay about what it's like living in France. I'm kind of the good, bad, and the ugly, you know, because there is so much material that happens, and that's just been a really fun exercise to share that, just in the written page. And and sometimes I include little videos in it too. So It's been It's always fun too, Stephanie Hansen:I think, as creators to have other outlets and more outlets. Yeah. And, you know, I I know people find this hard to believe, but with the exception of, like, in any industry, the top 10% of us are cobbling this together. Right? You're at the end of the year, when you're doing your taxes, you have 52 tiny pots of money that you add up together. Right. And Substat is another tiny pot, but is giving a lot of joy to a lot of people and allowing them to flex in unique and creative ways.Beth Le Manach:It is. It absolutely is. And and I think too because if you stay with, like, kinda one medium, like, I've been doing video for so many years, thirteen years video, it gets really tiring, and you start to get a little fatigued by it all. So it kinda jump starts your creativity again to be like, oh, now I'm gonna write some things, and now I'm gonna and then it sort of helps the video because you look at it with fresher eyes.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. I love it. Well, Beth, it's been a delight to speak with you. Thanks for being on the podcast today. Good luck with the tour. Beth Le Manach: thanks for having me.Stephanie Hansen:Yes. Are you on presale right now?Beth Le Manach:Yes. We're on presale, and then it goes on sale, for real on June 3.Stephanie Hansen:Okay. So we're gonna launch this podcast, I believe, right before the launch. If you can presale, because you guys that listen know presales are super important to cookbook authors, all of those sales that they've generated up on the presale count towards the first day sales, which hopefully, if all things go great, launches them on bestseller list. Right? That's what we're all trying to do. Beth, I think you've got a great shot at it because your book, looks great. I've watched a bunch of your videos, and I'm just glad that you're getting a chance to come to Saint Paul, Minnesota. Cooks Of Crocusil is a great spot. You're gonna have a blast.Beth Le Manach:Yes. I hope so. It looks amazing.Thank you so much for having me. I really appreciate it.Stephanie Hansen:Enjoy your travels. Hopefully, we'll speak again sometime. Sounds goodStephanie Hansen:Thanks, Stephanie. Bye. This is a public episode.

Most of us are skilled at being kind to others, but do you extend that same level of kindness to yourself? Self-love is a wonderful aspiration, but sometimes it feels hard to reach. Self-kindness can be the path that guides us toward this deeper appreciation. Through small acts of gentleness, we can begin to tend to ourselves with the same care and understanding that we offer to our loved ones.  You are worthy of rest. You are worthy of acceptance. And you are worthy of love. The path always starts with you. What am I reading?The Bane Witch by Ava Morgyn https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781250835451The Story of Witches by Willow Winshamhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781849949064https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?The Cave by Mumford & Sons What's for dinner? Asparagus & Bacon PenneIngredients:1 lb penne pasta1 lb asparagus1 bag frozen broccoli1 onion4 tablespoons sun dried-tomatoes in olive oil1 package bacon (your choice) Parmesan cheeseSalt and pepperDrizzle olive oil Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

I had a real fun time chatting with Beth La Manach, whose new cookbook, “Entertaining 101” just released. Beth's YouTube channel is wildy entertaining and she is also on Substack so you can follow her Entertaining with Beth Now since Beth makes it so easy lets all get to Entertianing!EPISODE TRANSCRIPT:Stephanie Hansen:Hello, everybody. Welcome to Dishing with Stephanie's Dish. I'm Stephanie Hansen and I like to talk to people obsessed with food. In particular, I enjoy cookbook authors and today I'm with Beth Lamonic and she is the author of a cookbook that just the title alone, I feel like holy cats. That's so intimidating. It is called entertaining one zero one. Beth, that just makes you, like, right on the level of Martha Stewart in my brain. Were you nervous about calling it one zero one?Beth Le Manach:No. Because the way that I'm thinking about the title is it's really targeted towards beginners or veterans who just need it to be easier and quicker. And I think everybody loves a one zero one entry point because they know it's not gonna be intimidating. It's gonna be accessible.Stephanie Hansen:Well, you are not a one zero one in your chops. You have over 662,000 followers on YouTube. They were like, oh, she has a a YouTube channel. And I went to look. I was like, holy cats. Tell me the name of your YouTube channel because I forgot to write it down. Recipes for entertaining. Was that what it was called?Beth Le Manach:No. It's called Entertaining with Beth.Stephanie Hansen:Got it. Okay. So you also are very fascinating, but I'm gonna get to that part in just a second. Take me through, like, your journey of, like, the how you started the YouTube and how we are that you're just is this your first book?Beth Le Manach:Yes. It isn't my first book. I know. I've been in a long time. I know exactly. Yeah. So it's kind of a long story, but I'll give you the highlights. I started my YouTube channel because I was by trade a producer for television, lifestyle television, and I got my start with the Scripps network.Beth Le Manach:So Food Network, HGTV, Fine Living, I was producing a bunch of content for them. I saw everything going online, digital. So I was like, I wanna produce digital content for the web. I got a job at a company that had a huge order for YouTube. So this was right around 2011 when YouTube started getting grants to media companies to produce quality content so they could get the advertisers to actually advertise against it. Because up into that point, it was a lot of, you know, skate board tricks and cat videos and stuff like that. Yeah. And so since I had come up with all of this kind of lifestyle content, my boss was like, okay. Create a YouTube channel that women will love. And I was a new mom. I had two small kids, and I was into all this lifestyle content, but I knew nothing about YouTube. So I had to really learn what it was, and little by little, we started to just create content. That was food content, fashion, beauty, all the things that I thought, like, women would be interested in.And then one day, my boss came to me and said, you know what? We are, like, really behind on the hours here that we have to deliver. We gotta pep this up a bit. What do you got? And I was like, I think we should do, like, entertaining shows, like, thirty minute shows, like what we used to do for TV. Like, let's do the perfect dinner party. He's like he was like, well, who are we gonna get to do that? And I was like, me. I love to cook, and I have a lot of recipes. And at the time, I just bought a house, and I was like, you know, come to my house. You don't have to pay me.You're already paying me, and let's knock off a few of these episodes. So we did about 16 of them, and then my boss was like, you know, this is really resonating with people. Like and and it really hit me at that point that I thought, how is this new information for people? Because I had grown up with Martha Stewart and Ina Garten, and I just thought that everybody was watching this. But people at the time on YouTube were just getting into, like, all the beauty gurus, and those girls were now aging up and sort of, like, having their first apartment and getting married. And they weren't suddenly gonna go offline and go look at magazines and books. They were staying online.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah.Beth Le Manach:And I think that's where it really resonated. And so long story short, I did that until I started to do it full time, and now the channel is mine, and I just do it full time.Stephanie Hansen:It explains lots of things. One, how prescient of you to see this digital age coming. So very smart.Beth Le Manach:Yeah.Stephanie Hansen:Two, I always talk about first mover advantage. And whenever there's a new platform or something, I always make sure that I log on. I save my handle. Even if I don't know if I'm gonna use it or do anything with it, I I believe that being the first in a space or in in a being a handful of first in a space is part of what gets you that first mover advantage. So note to self people because there's gonna be a lot of social enterprises that are coming in our future. And then also, like, sometimes the keeping it simple is the best. Like, you just assume that everybody knows how to, you know, make a delicious apparel spritz, but necessarily they don't. So that what you can offer in your most authentic way is, valuable.And that's, I guess, why you did this as your first book because you seem like you really are taking and packaging a lot of this in a way that feels authentic to you, and that's what people want.Beth Le Manach:I think they do. I mean and I think that's what YouTube has really taught me is that there are thousands of chicken Parmesan recipes on YouTube, but people will still ask me, but we want your recipe. Not because my recipe is gonna be better than anybody else's recipe because there's only a couple of ways around making a chicken parm, but because they want my point of view. And I think that that's what makes YouTube so human, and that's why they called it YouTube because it is about you and how you how I prepare chicken parmesan recipe could be different than how you prepare it. And the things that we're gonna highlight could be different based on our own lived experience, and I think that's what makes it really human and really fun.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. Your show is also very beautiful. I just started doing a TV show, with Fox here locally, and lighting is so important. And my own YouTube is horribly lit and embarrassing. Yours is incredible.Like, do you have my normal lights set up?Beth Le Manach:No. My gosh. You know what my light setup is now? No lights. The light setup is no lights because I went round and round, and I have, you know, a lot of different experience. Like, I started with the big crew of seven people people that would come, and then I would go back, like, after COVID, and there was no people. And then I had to learn it all myself, and then I moved to France, and I was like, I can't carry all this stuff with me. I have gone back and forth on the lighting, and I always go back to the fact that, like, natural lighting for food is just the best lighting, and then just adjust the camera settings. Like, you're much better off doing that and know which angles of the kitchen give you the best softest light because that you can always reproduce the camera, but you can't always reproduce the exact temperature and light. And, like, that just was making me crazy. So I just decided to finish the lights.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. That is really the tip. Yes. I like it. You mentioned this move to France, and I I you have through the course of your channel and through the course career here. Also, you had a like, it sounded like a rental in France that you made into a full time home.Beth Le Manach:Yes. Exactly. So my husband is French, and we had been coming to France every year or so when we were married. And then we took a break when we had kids, and then we started to bring the kids when they were, like, five and two.Stephanie Hansen:So you and your husband moved to France, and he's French. Yes. So he's like your Jeffrey.Beth Le Manach:Yeah. You could say that. Yeah. He, he he definitely, has inspired me a lot, I think, with the French lifestyle and French cooking. And we would come to France every summer just to vacation, and then we thought, okay. Let's stop renting all these houses. Let's buy a house and then become the renter like, become the person renting. That was a better investment for us.Beth Le Manach:And then, I don't know, we just he got to a point in his life where he was like, I see all my friends retiring in France. That's where I wanna be. And I think that's the blessing and the curse of marrying a foreigner. At one point, they're gonna wanna go back, and you just have to be ready for that. So I was always ready for it because I've always loved France, and I just thought, like, that's a fun experience. Yeah. Let's go do that.Stephanie Hansen:Do you read David Leibovitz's blog?Beth Le Manach:Yes. I do. I love him. Yeah. He's great.Stephanie Hansen:I've learned so much. I have, relatives that are from Montreal, which is not France, but they've spent time in France. And Yeah. He just talks a lot about the difficulties of living in France and being an American transplant living in France.Are there things that you have found that you're just like, oh, I just wish I could get this or something that you're craving to miss?Beth Le Manach:Prepared broths and stocks. Like, you know, when you go in The States, you go to the grocery store and you see, like, a million organic chicken broth, beef broth, like, in every brand that takes up practically a whole file. Here, you cannot get that. You can get the cubes where you're making it, but it's like you're wasting a whole cube for two cups of broth, and you may not need the two cups of broth. Like, I love those little one cup ones that we can get in those days. That, we cannot get here. And I I don't know why. A lot of me thinks, like, it just takes up too much space on the shelves, and maybe the little cubes are better, but I do miss that.Stephanie Hansen:Do you have that better than bouillon product?Beth Le Manach:We don't have that. I have not seen that. Uh-uh. Like, there's a lot of different kinds of these little broth cubes too, and I've been trying all of them. Some of them are horrible, and some of them are okay, but there's nothing like the Swanson's chicken broth. Like, I really kinda miss that. I love that. And Land O'Lakes spread the butter.Beth Le Manach:Land O'Lakes butter. Even though we have a million wonderful butters here in France for baking, nothing is quite like the Land O'Lakes salted butter in my opinion.Stephanie Hansen:I live in Minnesota, the home of Land O'Lakes, so that makes me real happy. Alright. So entertaining one zero one is about simple, easy ways to start your entertaining life, whether it be like a signature cocktail for mom's brunch or an egg bake for Christmas or, just a simple, like, Friday night dinner party. What are some of your favorite entry points for entertaining?Beth Le Manach:Yeah. Well, I think brunch. I think brunch is the beginners, like, home run because there's no fancy roasts that you have to learn how to carve. It's pretty inexpensive because you're not serving a ton of wines and cocktails. It's fairly cheap too because of what you're making. It's eggs and bread and fruit. And it's easy because you can, like, prep in the morning, and then people come at, like, eleven. And it doesn't take the whole night.Beth Le Manach:Like, it's not gonna go on for hours and hours. Like, people usually leave around two or three. I just think it's a great entry point for people. Yeah. I mean, I think, you know, once you get into the holidays, like the Thanksgiving and the Christmas, you wanna get a few brunches under your belt, maybe a few dinners. I always say start with four, then have six, but don't ever start having 10 guests, which is what Thanksgiving is. So don't start there. Yep.Beth Le Manach:Because people usually get themselves so stressed out for entertaining because I think they don't start at the right entry point. And then they never wanna do it again because it was a big mess and, you know, it was so stressful because I think they didn't work their way up to it. You know what I mean?Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. I never thought about that, but that's really a clever way to think about it. I also think too choosing, like, the main dish and then building from there is helpful. Like Yes. I I don't know why I was afraid to cook salmon for forever, but, but, really, roasting a whole side of salmon is a great dish for entertaining.Beth Le Manach:Super easy, beautiful, super delicious. Yeah. I I think that people feel like they get sort of stressed out at all of the organization, like, the the timing of it. Because most people don't have, like, restaurant cook experience where everything is timed. So my philosophy is always, like, one or two things, two max that's, like, active cooking, The rest, assembly and the rest, premade. So, like, if you balance out the portfolio of dishes so that they're not all active cooking, it's just gonna make your life so much easier.Stephanie Hansen:And so Don't you think too, like, what I always discover with entertaining is people are just so delighted to come, to be invited to something. We don't do this enough.Beth Le Manach:We don't do it enough because I think people are afraid of how it's gonna go because maybe they had one or two bad experiences or because, you know, for better or for worse, I'm probably contributing to this, but there is so much food media out there between the blogs and the Instagram and the Pinterest and television and books that, like, it can get very overwhelming. What do you serve and, you know, where do you begin? That I really wanted to create, like, here are the hundred and one recipes that, like, everybody should just know how to make. Like, it's just should be part of your repertoire. Like, get the basics down first and get the ones that you crave. So, like, of course, everybody wants to know how to make a turkey at Thanksgiving or a key lime pie at Easter or barbecue chicken in the summer. Like, these are the things we are all sort of craving perennially. And if you can get those right, then you go to, like, one zero two, which is, you know, the more sophisticated flight files and that kind of thing.Stephanie Hansen:Second book, are you already thinking about it?Beth Le Manach:Oh my gosh. No. Because I'm still recovering from the first book. You know, you're a good book author. I had no idea how all consuming it is. In a good way. Of it taken. It was a definite two year project, you know, between the testing, the writing, the photography, like, all of it.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. What part did you love, and what part did you hate?Beth Le Manach:I really love the testing. You know? Like, really taking the time to test each recipe and getting excited about being able to share it, thinking of all of my subscribers that I've had over the years and thinking, oh, this person's gonna love this, and, oh, that person is really this is really gonna help that person. I love that. I love the writing. I didn't think I would love that as much, but I really love that, the stories and the tips and the kind of bringing the recipe to life. As much as I love the results of the photo shoot, that was probably the most exhausting, I think. And to have to then remake all a hundred and one recipes again. And, you know, at that point, it's not just me in the kitchen.It's a whole team of people and making sure, like, oh, that's not supposed to look like that or, like, oh, that crust shouldn't be like you know? And, like, that I found very taxing. But it was great to see all the photos at the end of the shoot. Like, oh, wow. We did all that.Stephanie Hansen:Did you have to cut some recipes, and was that hard to do?Beth Le Manach:We didn't I would cut them in the testing. We didn't we we basically shot everything that we planned, so that was great. But there were recipes that I just kept thinking, this is good, but it's too complicated, or this is not delivering on my motto of, like, minimum effort, maximum impact. This is, like, maximum effort from maximum impact, but, like, I didn't wanna go there. I wanted to keep it really easy and accessible for people. So those were the recipes that usually got the pitch.Stephanie Hansen:Was it harder? When did you move to France, and was this in the middle?Beth Le Manach:Yeah. It was. Of course. That was the craziest thing about it. We did the photo shoot in May, and we moved in June. So as soon as the, like, photo team left at the May, we were like, okay. Let's wrap it up. And we started to just put things in boxes and because I couldn't, like, take the whole house apart because I needed all the props, and I needed a certain amount of furniture and dishes and thing, you know, that I couldn't take.Beth Le Manach:So yeah. Stephanie Hansen:did you move all that stuff? Do you still have it? Because people don't realize, like, when you're styling photos, you know, you need all this stuff that you have.Beth Le Manach:You you need all this stuff, and I had a ton of props as we all do. You know, anybody that's in this business has a ton props. And I used them all for the cookbook, but I could not take them all with me to France. It's just it was gonna be too expensive. And I was actually afraid that some of them would break anyway, so I gave them to a lot of the, prop master who was working on the cookbook. Like, she took a a bunch. Everybody on the shoot took some, and we had a fully furnished house here in France that we were renting. So and, of course, every time I come, I would hit a flea market and buy more stuff.So, like, I just had no more rooms for any more stuff, so I just had to, you know, give away.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. That's it's kinda liberating and kinda freeing, though, in and of itself.Beth Le Manach:It is. It is.Stephanie Hansen:Who do you look up to for entertaining?Beth Le Manach:Oh, you know, all the greats. I love Martha Stewart. I love Ina Garten. I'm trying to think, like, if I there's a couple of substackers that I really love. There's a woman, little Chavita is the name of her substack. I let do you know her? Do you follow her substack? I think yeah. I just I love her sort of effortless elegance. I love things that don't feel overly fussy or feel overly staged.Beth Le Manach:Yeah. There's a lot of Instagrammers too that you just see that you're like, oh, yeah. I love that. I don't know. Yeah. I think and my parents, like, I love the way that they entertain, and I've always, like, looked up to their sort of style of entertaining.Stephanie Hansen:You mentioned, chicken parm experience, and I just happen to have read a whole thing about an influencer that apparently grabbed some very similar recipes from, some recipe writers and then repackaged them and put them in her book in Australia that's been, like, a multimillion bestseller. And I always worry and wonder about that because it's very hard to make a recipe your own for something like a chicken farm. And I really cooking very basic and presenting very basic recipes that people have been doing for forever and short of, like, saying, you know, I got inspiration or I adapted from. I do wonder if we're getting into this place where the Internet is just full of 6,000 chicken parmesan recipes that are all the same.Beth Le Manach:Yeah. I mean, I think what really, sets them apart though is the way you go about it. Like, I can remember a copyright lawyer telling me, like, you can't actually copyright the ingredients, but you can copyright the method. And I think, you know, for anybody who cooks a lot, there is a method that you go about making the recipe that's based on your experience, like the do's and more importantly the don'ts. Like, don't do that because you're gonna have a salvee chicken parm. Make sure you do this because it'll crisp up more. So, like, in my chicken parmesan video on YouTube, I labeled it a little bit different. I think it's something like the six tips to a great chicken parm, and that's just based on my experience.Like, fry it in a cast iron pan, presalt the chicken so that it's nice and juicy. Once it comes out of the pan, put it on a cooling rack with a, you know, something like a cookie rack so that it doesn't get all soggy. Add a little Parmesan tea. Like so I think that people make very classic recipes their own by adding their own personality and their own little tips and tricks that they've learned along the way to guarantee success. So I feel like, you know, even in the age of AI and everybody's like, oh, you know what? They're only gonna get these recipes from AI. It's like, yeah. But you're not gonna get that human experience of, like, here's what I did that doesn't work. Here's what I've done that works really well.So I think that's kind of our, you know, competitive edge, I guess, against the robots.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. And the superpower that maybe will separate, finally, the weed from the chaff as it were. Because if we are all then making similarly the same thing, it is how we're doing it and also how we're performing the content because, like, people get interested in you as a human and you as how you do things, and they wanna follow you and your point of view and think you're funny or whatever your superpower is.Beth Le Manach:Exactly. And that's why I think video is so powerful because that doesn't always come across on the printed page or with a photograph. But when you are on video and you're spending time, like, building this audience on YouTube, it is a way to connect in a more human way with people. And that also, when they search chicken parm and they see three or four results come up, if they already know you because they've watched your video, they you do feel like a friend to them, and they want your point of view. So I think, you know, it was worth all those years and years of uploads because it does help you, like, ingratiate yourself a little bit more to the audience. You know?Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. And, also, I think if you just this is a weird thing to say, but I've been thinking about this a lot because I have a speech later today, and and I wasn't sure what I was gonna speak about. And my husband's like, oh, are you gonna talk about women in business? I was like, no. I think I'm gonna talk about my regs to not riches story, which is, like, people have all these different experiences. Right? And you're always comparing yourself to other people or trying to measure up or trying to get as many likes or follows or comments. And really what I always keep coming back to is that people just want authentic, friendly, nice people in their kitchen to spend time with them.Beth Le Manach:I think so. A %. Especially if it's something that they're a little unsure about, they want the reassurance that, like, it's going to be okay. Like, yeah, we're gonna do it together. You know? Like, I think that that's very reassuring for people.Stephanie Hansen:One of the, recipes that I happen to see on your YouTube really just, like, blew my mind, and I think it's based on your French experiences about almond croissants.Beth Le Manach:Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's from the book.Great. It is in the book. Yeah.Stephanie Hansen:I'm obsessed with almond croissants, and what you did was you took day old croissants and then made, like, a beautiful almond filling, and voila, almond croissants. It's it never occurred to me that that would be a way that you could do that without, you know, like, laminating dough and I mean doing all the hard work.Beth Le Manach:Yeah. Well, I laughed out loud because I didn't realize, and my husband shared this with me when we were sort of newly married, that almond or croissants were made because that was a way that the bakeries could use up the day old croissants that didn't sell because very few things go to waste in France, especially foods. Then it, like, made perfect sense. Like, oh, of course. So if they're doing that, like, we could be doing that. Yeah. Absolutely. Have, like, the yeah.We just don't have the day old croissants, but, like, you can do it with fresh if you just split them open and let them dry out while you make the filling, and it's just as good.Stephanie Hansen:So you have an event that's coming up at Cooks At Crocus Hill, June Eighth, 4 PM. As we record this, there's only a few tickets left. So by the time it actually airs, you probably won't have the privilege of getting tickets unless you decide to do another night. Is that a possibility?Beth Le Manach:We don't know because I have to leave the next day for my next tour. So this is the thing that I yeah. I'm learning about the book tours is you have to be quick about it because it is expensive to go to all these cities.Stephanie Hansen:Yes. And how many citiesBeth Le Manach:are you going to on your tour? I'm going to seven.Stephanie Hansen:Okay. Okay. That is gonna be great. Yeah. So we are speaking with Beth Lamonic, and she is the author of entertaining one zero one. And you can find her book, recipes every host should know how to make. I thought that was a great subtitle too, by the way. Very clear. Everybody knew exactly what they were gonna be getting from your book. Do you have a Substack too, or how do you want people to follow it?Beth Le Manach:Yes. I do. I have a Substack. That would be great. People can follow me there. It's called entertaining with Beth.Stephanie Hansen:And how are you enjoying that as a platform?Beth Le Manach:I love it. I mean, this is the funny thing is, like, writing the cookbook did introduce me to this, like, other way to create, which is writing. And I think it came at the perfect time because we moved to France around the same time that I was doing more on Substack. So I share the recipes there, which are free. But then if people wanna be part of my paid community, once a month, I do an essay about what it's like living in France. I'm kind of the good, bad, and the ugly, you know, because there is so much material that happens, and that's just been a really fun exercise to share that, just in the written page. And and sometimes I include little videos in it too. So It's been It's always fun too, Stephanie Hansen:I think, as creators to have other outlets and more outlets. Yeah. And, you know, I I know people find this hard to believe, but with the exception of, like, in any industry, the top 10% of us are cobbling this together. Right? You're at the end of the year, when you're doing your taxes, you have 52 tiny pots of money that you add up together. Right. And Substat is another tiny pot, but is giving a lot of joy to a lot of people and allowing them to flex in unique and creative ways.Beth Le Manach:It is. It absolutely is. And and I think too because if you stay with, like, kinda one medium, like, I've been doing video for so many years, thirteen years video, it gets really tiring, and you start to get a little fatigued by it all. So it kinda jump starts your creativity again to be like, oh, now I'm gonna write some things, and now I'm gonna and then it sort of helps the video because you look at it with fresher eyes.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. I love it. Well, Beth, it's been a delight to speak with you. Thanks for being on the podcast today. Good luck with the tour. Beth Le Manach: thanks for having me.Stephanie Hansen:Yes.

On Thursday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey was joined by Chef Martyn Whyte. This week, Martyn shared a delicious recipe for a beef brisket. Ingredients: 1kg side of brisket 100g brown sugar 20g Cajun spice, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder 100g wild garlic 250ml olive oil 50g pine nuts 50g Parmesan 10g honey 10g mustard 25ml rapeseed oil 10ml white wine vinegar ½ cup self raising flour ½ cup Greek yoghurt Pinch of salt Method: Combine the sugar, Cajun, paprika, chili powder, garlic and apply to the brisket on both sides. Place in an oven dish with a lid and roast in an oven for 12 hours at 90 degrees. For the last 30 minutes take off the lid. Blend the wild garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan and olive oil together for the pesto, season with salt for taste. Mix the honey, white wine vinegar, rapeseed oil and mustard together for the dressing. For the flatbread, Mix together the flour and yogurt so they come together, knead for a minute. Form a ball shape and cut into desired sizes. With this recipe you will get 4 small size flat breads or 2 larger size flat breads. Place in a heated frying pan, no oil needed and cook on both sides for about 2/3 minutes on each side. Slice the brisket length ways to get nice slices, arrange at the bottom of the flatbread, top with mixed leafs, wild garlic pesto and some of the salad dressing.

Our perception of smells depends on context—the same scent is experienced as delightful when labeled "Parmesan cheese" but revolting when called "vomit."

Key Points: • Origins: Inspired by the traditional diets of countries like Greece, Italy, and Spain. • Core principles: • Emphasis on fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes. • Healthy fats like olive oil and nuts. • Lean proteins—particularly fish and poultry. • Herbs and spices for flavor instead of salt. • Moderation with red wine and dairy (optional, and always in consultation with a healthcare provider).    Fun fact: The Mediterranean diet is consistently ranked as one of the healthiest diets globally due to its heart-protective benefits. The Mediterranean Diet is a way of eating based on the traditional dietary habits of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, including Greece, Italy, and Spain. It's renowned for promoting long-term health, especially for heart health, and is often hailed as one of the healthiest diets in the world.   The Mediterranean diet draws inspiration from the eating patterns of Mediterranean countries, where the focus has always been on fresh, seasonal, and local ingredients. It's a way of life that emphasizes balance, community, and enjoying meals together. This diet has been studied extensively and is linked to a variety of health benefits, particularly in reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.   Fruits and Vegetables One of the hallmarks of the Mediterranean diet is an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables. These are typically eaten in every meal, providing a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Vegetables like tomatoes, spinach, and peppers, and fruits like oranges, grapes, and apples, are common. Whole Grains and Legumes Whole grains such as whole wheat bread, brown rice, and quinoa are staples. Legumes like lentils, chickpeas, and beans are also featured prominently. These foods are high in fiber, which promotes digestive health and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. Healthy Fats Olive oil is the primary source of fat in the Mediterranean diet. It's rich in monounsaturated fats, which are heart-healthy. Nuts, seeds, and avocados also provide healthy fats, which are important for brain function and overall health. Lean Proteins Lean proteins, especially fish and poultry, are preferred over red meats. Fish like salmon, sardines, and mackerel are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for heart health. Poultry is typically consumed in moderate amounts, and red meat is eaten sparingly. Herbs and Spices The Mediterranean diet emphasizes using herbs and spices to add flavor to dishes instead of relying on salt. Common herbs and spices include garlic, basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and cinnamon, which also offer additional health benefits due to their antioxidant properties. Moderation with Dairy and Wine Dairy is consumed in moderation, with an emphasis on low-fat or fat-free options like Greek yogurt and cheese (often feta or Parmesan). Wine is also consumed in moderation, usually red wine, and often with meals. It's important to note that wine should only be consumed if it's appropriate for your health and lifestyle, and always in consultation with a healthcare provider. The Mediterranean diet is consistently ranked as one of the healthiest diets globally, largely because of its heart-protective benefits. Studies have shown that people who follow the Mediterranean diet have a lower risk of developing heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. It's also linked to a longer life expectancy and a lower risk of cognitive decline. In summary, the Mediterranean Diet is not just a way of eating but a lifestyle that focuses on whole, natural foods, healthy fats, lean proteins, and a moderate, balanced approach to eating. Whether you're looking to improve heart health, manage weight, or just eat more mindfully, the Mediterranean diet provides a delicious and sustainable way to nourish your body.    Scientific Benefits: • Blood sugar control: • The fiber from vegetables, whole grains, and legumes slows the absorption of glucose, preventing spikes. • Heart health benefits: • Rich in healthy fats and antioxidants, reducing inflammation and supporting cardiovascular health—a key concern for diabetics. • Weight management: • The diet is naturally lower in processed foods and sugar, promoting weight control, which can improve insulin sensitivity.     Breakfast: • Greek yogurt parfait with chia seeds, berries, and a sprinkle of nuts. • Vegetable omelet with spinach, tomatoes, and feta cheese.    Lunch: • Mediterranean salad bowl: Romaine, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, grilled chicken, and a lemon-olive oil vinaigrette. • Hummus and veggie wrap: Whole wheat wrap with hummus, shredded carrots, cucumbers, and leafy greens.    Dinner: • Baked salmon with roasted zucchini and quinoa (season with lemon, garlic, and herbs). • Stuffed peppers with ground turkey, tomatoes, and brown rice.    Snack: • Mixed nuts with a few olives. • Cucumber slices with tzatziki.  Segment 5: Practical Tips for Getting Started (5-7 mins)    Shopping Tips: • Stick to the perimeter of the grocery store for fresh produce, lean meats, and whole grains. • Read labels: Choose olive oil-based dressings over creamy or sugary ones.    Meal Prep Strategies: • Batch cook grains and proteins for easy meal assembly during the week. • Make your own Mediterranean spice blend with oregano, thyme, garlic powder, and paprika.

This week, we're joined by the brilliantly warm and wildly talented Rosie Kellett - writer, food creator, and author of In For Dinner. From comforting nostalgia to weeknight saviours, Rosie takes us through her dream menu from breakfast to pudding. We get into her favourite hangover-busting salt and vinegar potato soup, a citrusy macaroni-spaghetti hybrid born out of broke London flatshares, and the pudding inspired by her Grandma Margaret's legendary raspberry cakey concoctions (somewhere between a tiramisu and a trifle).We also talk about her love for Polish sauerkraut—her desert island essential—and a pierogi-inspired soup that's become a go-to. Rosie takes us to Emilia-Romagna for some erbazzone and shares why she sees Parmesan as a kind of culinary medicine. There's big love for London favourites too, including the crisp pink dosa at Rasa, deep chilli heat at Xi-an Impressions, and perfect service at Sessions Arts Club.And then there's the Hall of Fame dish: a shrimp and scallion pancake from Piazz that, in Rosie's words, made her feel whole again. We also get into her biggest food trend icks, why certain garnishes should be banned, her failed acting career and the one word she'd love to see retired from recipe vocabulary forever (spoiler: it's “hack”).Rosie's new book In For Dinner is full of the kind of recipes you'll actually want to cook—comforting, clever, and affordable.

Dave is solo in studio for a skeleton crew edition of No Tangent Tuesday.Topics Covered:• Grana Padano vs. Parmigiano-Reggiano – Is Grana just a weaker Parmesan, or does it deserve its own place in cooking? Dave breaks down the real distinctions between these cheeses, how aging, terroir, and the Italian cheese consortiums impact flavor, and when you can (or can't) swap one for the other.• Can You Recreate Pizzeria Cheese Texture at Home? – A listener wants to mimic the fine, slightly clumpy grated cheese found in pizza shop shakers. Dave and Quinn dissect industrial processes, moisture control, grating methods, and how additives like maltodextrin or milk powder might help — plus why Wiley Dufresne probably already has a working prototype.• Clarifying Fresh Ginger Juice Without Magnesium Carbonate – Dave details how to clarify ginger-turmeric-galangal juice (a.k.a. “zing”) using Pectinex and citric acid, and shares the full recipe spec for the Firefly Mule served at Double Chicken Please.• Pre-Theater Food Strategy – What's the best way to eat before a show when timing is tight? From halal carts to hand rolls, the crew dissects good and bad pre-event meals, with bonus recommendations for fast, reliable options in both NYC and LA.• Cheese Powder, Moisture Content, and Anti-Caking Agents – More on shaker cheese: Dave outlines the likely industrial approach (not freeze-dried powder, but low-moisture cheese + blending and drying aids) and proposes a homebrew version for kitchen experimenters.• Shoutout: Utica Grind Red Pepper – A caller recommends a regional crushed red pepper blend that delivers on texture and coverage.All that and more, this week on Cooking Issues.

Plus all the latest news, weather, sports, and more… ***** Prayer of St. Hilary of Poitiers Father, keep us from vain strife of words.Grant to us constant profession of the Truth!Preserve us in a true and undefiled faithso that we may hold fast to thatwhich we professed when we were baptizedin the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit,that we may have Thee for our Father,that we may abide in Thy Sonand in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. ***** RECIPES FROM RITA: WHOLE WHEAT SPAGHETTI WITH LEMON AND BASIL, TOPPED WITH SALMON AND TOASTED BREAD CRUMBS This is so yummy, and if you don’t have capers, no worries. They do lend a briny, sort of salty flavor which we love. Ingredients: Spaghetti 1/2 pound whole-wheat or regular spaghettiSeveral handfuls fresh baby spinach leaves, arugula, mixed greens – whatever – a good two cups or so 1 large clove garlic, minced2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling1-2 teaspoons dried basil 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice 1-3 tablespoons capers, rinsed – I used a generous 1 tablespoon and smooshed them down a bit1/2 teaspoon ea salt and pepper, plus more for seasoning Fish 1 tablespoon olive oil3-4 (4-ounce) pieces salmon For garnish: toasted bread crumbs and Parmesan Instructions Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Right before it’s done, stir in greens to let them wilt a little bit. Now while the pasta is cooking, in a large bowl, stir together minced garlic, olive oil, basil, capers and lemon juice. Set aside until pasta is done. Meanwhile, cook the salmon. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil into a nonstick pan and get it hot over medium heat. Season fish to taste, then cook a couple minutes or so on each side – it won’t take long to cook. I usually let it cook to what I call the “cook line” before turning – look at the side of the fish and when it’s cooked halfway up, then turn. Don’t overcook!! After pasta is done, drain – just use tongs to pull the pasta and greens out of the water and let a little water cling to it – helps moisten the sauce. Put in large bowl, then add the garlic, olive oil, basil, capers and lemon juice. Toss and add salt and pepper. Drizzle with a bit more oil. Put on plates and serve salmon on top. Sprinkle with toasted bread crumbs and Parmesan. How to toast bread crumbs: Just heat a tiny bit of butter or olive oil in a skillet, stir in fresh bread crumbs until golden, stirring all the while. This only takes a couple of minutes. ***** Brady Stiller, author of Your Life is a Story Full list of guestsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sometimes life is messy. It can be tempting to bypass these uncomfortable moments when you're trying to follow a spiritual path. But living a spiritual life doesn't mean ignoring your true feelings during times of struggle, if anything, spirituality encourages us to be even more honest about how we're showing up from moment to moment. As the world continues to become more uncertain, we must find trust and support in our communities. Solitary practices are powerful, but it's time to embrace the coven! Gathering in community for mundane and magical moments helps us to stay connected to our humanity and our spirituality. As we listen to the birds sing on this cloudy day, let's get curious about growing the communities in our lives. What am I reading?The Spoon Stealer by Lesley CreweBeyond Anxiety: Curiosity, Creativity, and Finding Your Life's Purpose by Martha BeckWhat's playing on repeat?We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy JoelWhat's for dinner?Brussels Sprouts Meatball PastaIngredients:1 lb penne pastaBrussels sprouts Precooked chicken or vegan meatballs, I used a garlic Parmesan varietySun dried tomatoes in oilDiced garlicOlive oilSalt and pepperParmesan cheeseInstructions:Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

On Thursday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey was joined by, Martyn Whyte, chef at Glás Restaurant, Hotel Doolin. This week, Martyn shared a delicious recipe for parmigiana with a radicchio and citrus salad. Ingredients: Parmigiana 5 aubergines 1 tin of tomatoes 200g Parmesan 50g basil 50ml olive oil 5 cloves of garlic 20g Parsley Stalks Salad 1 head of radicchio 1 orange 1 lemon 1 lime 50g Goats Cheese 100g pumpkin seeds Method: Start by peeling the aubergine. Peel the skins in turns, leaving some of the skin on. Then thinly slice. Lay out in layers, lightly salt each layer. Leave to rest for 15 minutes. Squeeze the water out. Fry in oil at 180 degrees until golden and crispy. Set aside. For the marinara, start by making a sofrito. Warm the olive oil in a pot with the garlic and parsley stalks. Once you start to smell the aroma of the garlic, oil and parsley add in the tomatoes. Cook out gently for about 30 minutes until it's reduced. Blitz with a hand blender until smooth. Place the fried aubergine, marinara and grated Parmesan in layers like a lasagna. Generously add the basil throughout. Keep layering until you've used all the ingredients. Bake at 200 until crispy on top. For the salad, roughly chop the radicchio and set aside. Now peel the citrus and roughly chop. Mix with some olive oil and salt and black pepper. It might need some vinegar to balance. Add the goats cheese and seeds to the salad mix. Dress with the citrus mix. Season generously with salt and black pepper. To serve: A nice big spoon of parmigiana with a hefty spoon of the salad. Great with some fresh bread.

We all love a good story, but sometimes the stories we tell ourselves aren't very helpful. What tales have you been spinning? They might be old stories, new stories, but are they true stories?

It's time to write a new story, one that allows your brilliance to shine through. As we trek through the snow on this chilly morning, start to craft a newer, truer, and more magical chapter of your life.

[SEGMENT 2-1] Pardon Fallout 1 A few comments about Joe Biden from my X feed: Eric Methany: Joe Biden is not your Grandpa. He's not a sympathetic old man. He's a worthless government-leech who has never held a real job; showered with his daughter; used his crack-addicted son to sell the family name abroad; used his influence to strongarm a Ukrainian investigation into his family's corrupt dealings; he opened our border to 9 million illegals; abandoned Americans in Afghanistan; sent your tax dollars to Ukraine while your cost of living skyrockets at home. Miranda Devine: We always knew Joe Biden would pardon his son Hunter, no matter how many times he promised he wouldn't.  So it is fitting that one of the final acts of this mendacious president before leaving office was to break yet another promise to the American people.  The man who weaponized the justice system against Donald Trump now claims his pampered son was “selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently…. singled out only because he is my son.” It's true that Hunter was singled out — for favorable treatment. He and his father were protected by the DOJ, FBI, IRS, State Department and CIA while selling Joe's influence to China, Ukraine, Russia etc. In an amusing twist, the president explained away all his lies to the American people by lying about his lying: “For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth.” Todd Starnes: Biden's DOJ ordered a 75-year-old, pro-life Catholic grandmother to report to prison before Thanksgiving because she prayed outside an abortion clinic. Paulette Harlow was ordered to serve a two-year prison sentence. Meanwhile, President Biden pardoned his son Hunter for crimes he committed or may have committed going back 10 years. This is why the Deep State must be destroyed. Are you paying attention, America? Benny Johnson: Insane to watch the Democrat Party atomize and destroy itself overnight. With Joe Biden's pardon of Hunter the entire game is up. Mask off. Democrats are an elite cabal of parasites who grift off public office to enrich & protect themselves The DNC is a Ponzi scheme It's over Democrats call themselves the party of law and order. Anybody believe this?   Never forget: while Hunter was selling access to “the big guy,” Joe Biden's administration sent SWAT teams to the homes of prolifers; recruited spies in Catholic parishes; treated parents as domestic terrorists; and prosecuted Trump. The most lawless administration in history   Wrap your head around this. President Trump was impeached over wanting to look into the crimes Joe Biden just pardoned Hunter for.   Biden said “I have watched my son being selectively and unfairly prosecuted1”. Can you believe that?  [SEGMENT 2-2] Pardon Fallout 2 [X] SB – Democrats saying no one is above the law [X] SB – Leftist woman wants Biden to pardon everybody [X] SB – The View discussing the pardon Why lie about it I'd stop calling it a lie Similar situation; didn't have a drug problem     Decency was on the ballot. Remember that's what they claimed when Biden won the election. Now, let's get into the Hunter Biden Laptop from Hell. A 630-page dossier documenting 191 sex crimes, 128 drug crimes, and 140 business crimes. And what does Biden do? “Oh, no problem, son. Here's a pardon. Pass the Parmesan!”  [SEGMENT 2-3] Pardon Fallout 3 [X] SB – Scott Jennings on pardon Brain-rotted; LOL Fine with defending it Fine with lying about it He wasn't lying       I know many Americans are outraged at Biden's pardon of Hunter. But the pardons by Biden are just beginning. He must cover EVERYONE in the food chain before he is done. And it will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt how deep the conspiracy goes. I said for months that Kamala Harris might get the job of doing the dirty work Biden now finds himself doing. But she didn't win the election, which would have eliminated the need for pardons. But worse, she didn't do well enough to get the nod to be made president by the cabal. If Harris had earned that right, the cabal would have removed Biden completely—something that should have been done anyway by the 25th Amendment. Instead, they were forced to keep the old fool, and he would have to do his own dirty work. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to “Deep State Unplugged,” where we dissect the swamp one scandal at a time! Today's topic: Presidential pardons—or as Joe Biden calls them, “Get Out of Jail Free Cards.” Now, folks, I know many Americans are hotter than a jalapeño at a Texas barbecue over Biden's pardon of Hunter. But let me tell you—Hunter's just the appetizer in this buffet of immunity. Joe's just warming up his pen! And trust me, the pardon train is leaving the station, packed tighter than Kamala Harris' cackle at a bad punchline. Biden can't stop at Hunter. Oh no, my friends, there's a whole food chain of swamp critters he needs to protect. Who's on the menu? Let's start with:John “Spy Gate” BrennanJames “Perjury Under Oath” ClapperJamie “Constitution? What Constitution?” RaskinAdam “Mr. Impeachment” SchiffThe 51 intel officers who couldn't find the truth with both hands and a flashlightThe Capitol Hill police who moonlighted as “tour guides” on January 6thAnd of course, Fauci and Birx—our favorite duo from the COVID Chronicles.And it's not just these headliners, folks. Biden's working overtime to create a shield big enough to cover the entire DOJ. Yep, blanket immunity, folks—thicker than the fog in San Francisco. And what does this prove? That the conspiracy runs deeper than the Mariana Trench. [Pause for dramatic effect] Here's the thing: Historically, presidents have handed out pardons like Oprah gives out cars. Nixon? Pardon. Clinton? He pardoned his brother, his friends, and his buddy Marc Rich. Heck, Clinton's list was so long, they had to print it in volumes. But Biden? He's taking it to a whole new level. He's not just pardoning cronies; he's pardoning the very machinery of corruption. Now, let's get into the Hunter Biden Laptop from Hell. A 630-page dossier documenting 191 sex crimes, 128 drug crimes, and 140 business crimes. And what does Biden do? “Oh, no problem, son. Here's a pardon. Pass the Parmesan!” But don't be fooled, folks. While Joe plays the “Doting Dad” routine, the puppet masters behind him are plotting like the villains in a Bond movie. These aren't amateurs—they're PhD-level schemers trying to keep the Deep State afloat after Trump's re-election hit them like a wrecking ball. And here's the kicker: Imagine a government where Trump's team—people like Elon Musk with his AI superpowers—start dissecting every bill, every deal, every dirty secret. It's like handing Sherlock Holmes a magnifying glass with Wi-Fi! Meanwhile, Biden's over here waving his pardon pen like a white flag at the Alamo. His message to America? “I gave you the finger once, and I've got nine more where that came from!” [Pause for a breath] But here's the silver lining, my friends: The more brazen they get, the more they expose themselves. Biden pardoning Hunter after swearing he'd never do it? That's not just a lie—it's a neon sign flashing, “I'm guilty, and I know it!” So buckle up, America. The swamp is deep, the conspiracies are wide, and Biden's pen has a lot of ink left. But Trump's team isn't just draining the swamp—they're bringing in industrial pumps. And when it's all said and done, we'll finally see just how dirty the water really is. Thanks for tuning in to “Deep State Unplugged.” Stay sharp, stay skeptical, and stay tuned, because the truth train is just getting started!  [SEGMENT 2-4] Pardon Fallout 4   Seriously, which lie will be the one that finally snaps you? Which rationalization are you using this time? Don't worry; I've prepared a handy list of greatest hits to help jog your memory. Consider the psyops that happened, and that led to this very moment:  Hunter's Laptop? Russian disinformation.The 2020 Election? The fairest and most secure in history.January 6th? An “insurrection” orchestrated by Trump himself.COVID? A death sentence. The vaccine? Flawless! Just ask the myocarditis stats.The Virus? Oh, totally from a fish market in Wuhan. Nothing to see here.The DOJ? You can trust them—they never lie!Inflation? Transitory, remember? Don't mind your grocery bill.Afghanistan? A huge success. Ignore the footage of people clinging to planes.The Border? Secure. Because who doesn't love 10,000 migrants pouring in daily?Biden's Brain Farts? Jetlag. Or a cold. Or was it both?Hunter's Pardon? Never happening... until it did.And let's not forget, for good measure, Trump is Hitler. Because apparently, you can't end a Democratic lie-fest without invoking the guy living rent-free in their heads. So, here we are, folks. Hunter Biden gets a pardon, and Joe gets to play the doting dad while sticking it to justice yet again. Meanwhile, you—dear Democrat listener—get to twist yourself into another logical pretzel to explain why this time, it's different.    Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.
