  • Introducing: Home Cooking

    We want to introduce you to a brand new emergency quarantine podcast mini-series called Home Cooking. It’s from Hrishi and chef Samin Nosrat, author of the award-winning cookbook Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, and host of the Netflix show by the same name. The first episode just came out, and features Josh as the special guest. If you’ve missed hearing Josh and Hrishi in conversation, we thought you’d appreciate this excerpt. The rest of the episode centers around giving people advice about what to cook with whatever they’ve got in the house, and we think you’ll really enjoy it! Listen and subscribe to Home Cooking on your favorite podcast app, or at homecooking.show.

Great hosts, great interviews and my favorite show

Really enjoy this podcast, was a great excuse to re-watch one of the best TV series ever. Josh and Hrishi do an amazing job breaking down episodes one by one, and have great guests from the cast and crew.
