Hi there! After a short break last week, we're back with new episodes and bonus content for subscribers. This week, cookbook author Odette Williams joined us in our studio at The Civic Kitchen in San Francisco to talk pasta.* Do you love Salt + Spine? We'd love if you shared this email with a friend who might want to #TalkCookbooks with us, too:Episode 145: Odette WilliamsThis week, Odette Williams joins us on Salt + Spine to #TalkCookbooks!Odette was an actor long before she started calling herself a cook (or an author). She called Sydney home until 2006 and credits the unpretentious, adventurous attitude of Australia for her own approach to cooking.Leaving Sydney for love, Odette joined her now-husband in New York and started a family. As she was spending more time cooking with her children, she was inspired to design high-quality aprons just for kids. (The aprons were a hit and sold by goop, J. Crew, and Anthropologie; Odette jokes that she quickly became the “apron lady.”) While Odette's career as a food writer grew (her new Wall Street Journal column, Party Trick, makes entertaining easy), those aprons also ended up in the hands of a couple of editors at the cookbook publishing house Ten Speed Press—and, well, the cookbook cards fell into place.Heavily influenced by the food writing of prolific cookbook author Donna Hay and the recipes she found in the monthly Australian Women's Weekly magazine, Odette's recipes are clear, concise, and simply delicious. Odette's first cookbook, Simple Cake, featured recipes for basic cakes that could be customized and combined in a number of different ways.And now, Odette's back with her second cookbook: Simple Pasta. In a similar vein to Simple Cake, this book provides some building blocks—dough recipes, and a few sauces—that can be customized to your mood. But the book explodes with dozens of creative recipes from cocktails to starters to salads. And of course, lots of pasta.There are classics—cacio e pepe and carbonara and so on. But the seasonally divided book also offers recipes like Peppery Pappardelle, Pancetta & Mushrooms … Sweet Corn & Jalapeno Ravioli … to a Luxe Mac & Cheese that Odette says is “bordering on hedonistic.” The emphasis here is fresh pasta—which Odette says you can and should make!—though notes indicate where store-bought dried pasta can stand in. We've got a great episode for you today: In today's show, we're talking with Odette about how she settled into this career, about the success of her “Simple” books, and why pasta is sometimes better for serving 2 than 20. And of course, we're putting her to the test in our signature culinary game.Bonus Content + Recipes This WeekThis week, paid subscribers will receive:* Two recipes from Simple Pasta: the Garganelli with Vodka Sauce and the Winter Chicories with Date and Anchovy Dressing.

Our exploration of seasonal creative living through the lens of the pandemic begins, so it feels appropriate to start with The Season of Discontent. Writers can arrive here anytime, but the covid era is perhaps the most obvious manifestation of how discontent—marked by one defining trait: blaming outside forces for your inability to create—can impact our writing life. Today we're talking about what the season of discontent is, how to move through it, and ways to support yourself when experiencing creative burnout. Sign up for my newsletter, Over Tea, for creative encouragement sent to your inbox.

There has long been a search in the world of food enthusiasts for cuisine that reflects a chef’s heritage — that smacks of “authenticity,” whatever that means — but that also presents it in a way that doesn’t require interpretation for the uninitiated. Chris Cheung has done that with East Wind Snack Shop. The dumpling house that opened its first location in 2015 has won rave reviews, as well as financial success, with items like Cheung’s dry-aged beef potstickers and “Incredible Har Gow” — an updated version of the Cantonese shrimp dumplings to which the chef has added a crunchy element in the form of a tapioca crust. He has not been an overnight success, however. A native New Yorker of Toisan Chinese heritage who grew up between the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bensonhurst and Manhattan’s Chinatown, Cheung has been cooking in the city for more than 20 years, first working the line at Vong, Nobu and Jean Georges, and then going on to be chef at Ruby Foo’s before opening his own restaurant, Tiger Blossom, in the East Village in 2001. That restaurant fell victim to the economic downturn that followed 9/11, but Cheung moved on to other gigs, sometimes doing obvious Asian-fusion dishes like foie gras dumplings, sometimes doing more multicultural fare, such as when he was chef at the landmark Midtown Manhattan restaurant Monkey Bar. He also took time to travel to an island near Shanghai, where his wife’s family is from, and learn the cooking techniques and traditions of that side of the family. At one point East Wind Snack Shop had grown to four locations, but one in a food hall and another at Barclays Center, home of the Brooklyn Nets, closed in the wake of the pandemic. In the meantime, Cheung has written his first cookbook, Damn Good Chinese Food — Dumplings, Egg Rolls, Bao Buns, Sesame Noodles, Roast Duck, Fried Rice, and More—50 Recipes Inspired by Life in Chinatown, published by Simon & Schuster. Cheung recently discussed his journey, his extended stay with his wife’s family, the upsurge of anti-Asian racism in New York, his new book and his plans for the future.

A specialist of lichens and other Alpine plants, Edward helped found the Natural History Society of Boston. As a professor at Amherst College, Edward spent his spare time botanizing in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Today Tuckerman Ravine is named in honor of Edward Tuckerman. America owes a debt of gratitude to Edward for rescuing some of the Lewis and Clark specimens at an auction. It turns out that after the Lewis and Clark Expedition, a botanist named Frederic Pursh was hired by Meriwether Lewis to process the plants from their trip. After butting heads with his boss Benjamin Smith Barton and Meriwether’s apparent suicide, Frederick Pursh took the Lewis and Clark specimens and went to England. Once in England, Pursh reached out to botanists Sir James Edward Smith and Aylmer Lambert about putting together the Flora of North America. Ultimately, Aylmer became his botanical fairy godfather. Aylmer had a substantial personal botanical library, herbarium, and funding. Aylmer also forced Pursh to be productive. Frederick Pursh was kind of a rough and tough guy, and he was an alcoholic. Aylmer made a space for Frederick in the attic of his house. Once Aylmer got him up there, he would lock Frederick in for stretches at a time to keep him focused on the project. It was an extreme way to deal with Frederick’s demons, but it worked. It took Pursh two years to complete the Flora of North America, and the whole time he was racing against Thomas Nuttall, who was working on the same subject back in America. American botanists felt Frederick Pursh had pulled the rug out from under them when he took the expedition specimens to England. And this is where Edward Tuckerman enters the story. Somehow Edward learned that the Lewis and Clark specimens that Pursh had brought to England were going to auction. It turns out Aylmer had hung on to all of Pursh’s material, including the Lewis and Clark originals. In 1842, after Aylmer died, the Lewis and Clark specimens and papers were up for auction along as part of his estate. Somehow Edward realized the value and the important legacy of these botanical specimens and papers. After winning the items, Edward eventually donated all of the material to the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. December 7, 1822 Today is the birthday of the English-American botanist, nurseryman, landscape gardener, and landscape designer William Saunders. William served as the first horticulturist and superintendent of the experimental gardens at the newly created U.S. Department of Agriculture. During his professional career, William enjoyed many successes, but two stand out above the rest. First, William designed the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg. On November 17, 1863, William visited the White House to show President Abraham Lincoln his design for the cemetery near the Gettysburg battlefield. William thoughtfully made sure that the Union army dead would be organized by state. A devoted botanist, William’s design was the setting for Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, an ode to the fallen soldiers interred there. William’s second major accomplishment was introducing the seedless Navel Orange to California. After William had received cuttings from a navel orange tree in Bahia Brazil, he forwarded the cuttings to a friend named Eliza Tibbetts, who had recently settled in a town called Riverside, fifty-five miles east of Los Angeles. Eliza and her husband, Luther, planted the navel oranges in their front yard. They watered the trees with dishwater, and both of the trees flourished. In California, navel oranges are picked from October through the end of May. Navel oranges are known for their sweetness and the sweet little navel on the blossom end. A ripe navel orange should have thin, smooth skin with no soft spots. The orange should feel firm, and the riper the orange, the heavier it should feel. The sweetest time to eat navel oranges is after Thanksgiving; that’s when their flavor and color are at their peak. Because navel oranges are seedless, they can only be propagated by cutting. Over the years, Eliza and her husband took so many cuttings of the original two trees that they nearly killed them. In the early 1880s, they sold enough cuttings at a dollar apiece to make over $20,000 a year - that’s over half a million dollars by today’s standards. Ironically, in the 1930s, Brazil’s entire navel orange crop was destroyed by disease. In response, the USDA sent cuttings of Tibbett’s navel oranges to restart Brazil’s navel orange orchards. Today, every navel orange grown in the world is descended from the cuttings William Saunders sent Eliza Tibbetts. Today, one of the Tibbett’s navel orange trees still stands on the corner of Magnolia and Arlington avenues in Riverside. The tree has been a protected California Historic Landmark since 1932. December 7, 1893 On this day, the Phipps Conservatory first opened to the public. A gift from Henry Phipps, Jr. to the City of Pittsburgh, Henry was a childhood friend and business partner of Andrew Carnegie. And gardeners who know their garden history probably already know that the Crystal Palace by Joseph Paxton inspired the 14-room glasshouse at the Phipps Conservatory. In 1893, as the Chicago World’s Fair ended, the plant material was fortuitously available to the highest bidder, and over 8,000 plants ended up on 15 train cars headed east to the Phipps. And that’s how the Phipp’s Conservatory ended up benefiting from impeccable timing; stocking their brand new space with incredible plants for a botanical bargain on a scale never seen before or since. In 2018, the Phipps Conservatory and botanical gardens celebrated their 125th Anniversary. Today the Phipps encompasses fifteen acres and includes 23 distinct gardens. Unearthed Words There's a sound of a festive morrow, It rings with delight over the snow, Dispelling the shadows of sorrow With promise that makes the heart glow... An angel peeps in at the window, And smiles as he looketh around, And kisses the mistletoe berries That wave o'er the love-hallowed ground. — Henry Rowland Brown, English entomologist, and poet, Christmas Eve Grow That Garden Library The Art of the Garden by Relais & Châteaux North America This book came out in 2018, and the subtitle is Landscapes, Interiors, Arrangements, and Recipes Inspired by Horticultural Splendors.

Remembered for her novels of frontier life like O Pioneers! and My Ántonia, Willa won a Pulitzer for her World War I novel called One of Ours. Here’s an excerpt that will delight the ears of gardeners from Cather’s My Antonia. The story’s narrator is Antonia’s friend Jim Burden. In this excerpt, Jim is lying on the ground in his grandmother’s garden as the warm sun shines down on him: The earth was warm under me, and warm as I crumbled it through my fingers. Queer little red bugs came out and moved in slow squadrons around me. Their backs were polished vermilion, with black spots. I kept as still as I could. Nothing happened. I did not expect anything to happen. I was something that lay under the sun and felt it, like the pumpkins, and I did not want to be anything more. I was entirely happy. Perhaps we feel like that when we die and become a part of something entire, whether it is sun and air, or goodness and knowledge. At any rate, that is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great. When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep. — Willa Cather, American writer, My Antonia Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

With most humans staying home to stay safe (and keep others safe) it kinda makes sense that more and more people are becoming cocktail-curious! Enter: Amanda Schuster, Editor in Chief at The Alcohol Professor. Back in late 2017 Amanda released one of Joshua's go-to cocktail books: New York Cocktails: An Elegant Collection of over 100 Recipes Inspired by the Big Apple. Listen in as Amanda talks about the work that went into the book itself along with how New York has changed due to Covid-19. Hear her talk, too, about a follow up book she's working on and plans to complete AFTER the lockdown is over. So, as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!

On this episode Mandy interviews writer and poet, Nicole Gulotta. Nicole is the author of Wild Words: Rituals, Routines, and Rhythms for Braving the Writer’s Path, as well as Eat This Poem: A Literary Feast of Recipes Inspired by Poetry. Nicole has been featured in countless publications such as The Los Angeles Times, Kinfolk, Gather, and many more. As the founder of the Wild Words community, she helps writers embrace the season they’re in, create at their own pace, and care for their minds and bodies along the way. On this episode Nicole shares all about her journey as an author, as well as the story behind both of her books. We then dive into the conversation of seasonal creative living, which is essentially just a way of observing and navigating our creativity as humans. It's a way of extending grace to ourselves for the things we're experiencing...it’s a way to see and acknowledge the varying seasons we go through in our creativity. To be thankful for the past and excited for the future, but to be fully present in the season that is now. So in this interview Nicole shares all about each of the different seasons, as well as some very practical rituals and routines to practice in each season. So I do hope you all enjoy!
