The chef and content creator known for recreating dishes from famous TV shows and movies shares over 100 easy-to-follow recipes meant for anyone looking to elevate their cooking skills in Basics with Babish: Recipes for Screwing Up, Trying Again, and Hitting It Out of the Park. In conversation with Olga Massov, editor with The Washington Post Food section and cookbook author. This program was held on October 28, 2023. 

Hi, long time! Phew, October is always the wildest cookbook month—it's even officially dubbed National Cookbook Month—and we've been a bit quiet around here. With two little ones running around the house, germs have been rampant, and my voice just hasn't been cooperating. So we're catching back after falling a bit behind on our fall release schedule and thrilled to share today's chat with Hetty Lui McKinnon with all of you.And now, somehow, it's Oct. 31 - Halloween! I'm a sucker for anything fall. We're in a judgment-free zone, of course, so I'll readily admit that I'm happily ordering pumpkin-spiced lattes. I made chili as soon as the temps dipped a bit after our recent heat wave. I broke out my extra warm sweaters, put them away (see: heat wave), and broke them out again.Tonight, I'm making a big batch of Eric Kim's Creamy Baked Macaroni and Cheese, which keeps it simple with cheddar and Velveeta. It feels equal parts crowd-pleasing (we're talking actual toddlers here) and nostalgic. (Usually, for holidays, Martha Stewart's baked mac is my trusted go-to.)Ah, and costumes. How fitting that we're talking with Australia-born Hetty today as my family prepares to transform into the animated, hilarious Australian sheepdog family of Bluey, Bingo, Chili, and yours truly, Bandit. Wish us luck on the trick-or-treat streets!

A new cookbook from “Binging with Babish” creator Andrew Rea walks home cooks through mastering basic skills and recipes in the kitchen. Rea joins us to discuss Basics with Babish: Recipes for Screwing Up, Trying Again, and Hitting It Out of the Park. CARBONARA Italian dishes are regularly bastardized here in America, and carbonara is far from an exception. Bacon, peas, mushrooms, garlic, even scallops have invaded this simple Roman staple, and you know what? Who cares. Put what you want in your carbonara, just don't serve it to a purist (or post it on the Internet) if you don't want to catch an earful. I will not debate, however, that far and away the best expression of carbonara is the properly executed genuine article. Eggs (or just egg yolks for added richness and color) are practically whipped into an emulsion with pork fat and Pecorino Romano, creating what is perhaps the richest sauce in the pasta lexicon. The sauce's rich, complex flavor is largely furnished by guanciale, a difficult to find cured pork jowl. Luckily, the much more widely-available pancetta is a fine substitute! SERVES 4 TO 6 3 large eggs 1 large egg yolk 4 ounces of finely-grated Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (or 2 ounces of each!), plus more for serving Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1/2 pound guanciale or pancetta, diced 1 pound dried linguine   In a large, high-walled sauté pan, bring 2 quarts water to a boil, just enough in which to comfortably cook the pasta. In a liquid measuring cup, combine the eggs, egg yolk, cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper. Whisk or beat with a fork until evenly combined. Set aside. In another large sauté pan, combine the guanciale with 1/4 cup water and cook over medium-high heat until simmering. Continue to cook until the water is evaporated and most of the fat from the guanciale has rendered out, anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for 1 minute less than the suggested cooking time on the package. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water. Discard all but 3 tablespoons of fat from the guanciale, lower the heat, and add the pasta along with 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta cooking water. Cook, tossing, until the pasta is evenly coated in fat. Take the pan off the heat and allow to cool for 10 seconds if it's sizzling loudly. Add the egg and cheese mixture, immediately and vigorously stirring it into the pasta, taking care not to let any of the egg sit in one place for too long. Stir in more pasta cooking water, 2 tablespoons at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved. Season with more salt if necessary and serve with extra cheese grated over the top. Note: Try the (Michelin-starred chef and master of pasta) Luciano Monosiglio method—it's fun! Put the eggs and cheese in a blender and slowly stream in a half cup of pasta cooking water while the blender is running. Throw a hunk of guanciale in there if you really want some pervasive pork flavor, followed by 2 tablespoons of reserved fat from the pan. Blend until smooth and add back to the pasta in the hot pan, cooking over low heat until thick.

This week the boys discuss an article by famous underwater photographer, Marty Snyderman. The article is called "Trying Again" and is basically about trying again to get the shot. Creating a photographic image vs. just a snapshot can be as simple as just recalculating and trying again with a different approach.

He seems less concerned with preserving the myth”.Rufus references Beyoncé, the Eagles (“the story of the Eagles is better than the sound of the Eagles”), T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Hieronymus Bosch and Christopher Ricks before moving on, via Desolation Row, to the enigma that is Murder Most Foul (“it reads like bad poetry but sings like good poetry”).In an episode recorded before the release of Rough And Rowdy Ways, theories are promulgated, lines dissected and numerology explored. Murder Most Foul is “a confounding song. He takes a piece of real life and spins it into something abstract and horrific.” Join us for a dark but enlightening day in Dallas.Rufus Jones began his career as part of the sketch comedy group Dutch Elm Conservatoire.
