Myles Snider is a chef, real food enthusiast, and creator of 80/20 Cooking. He chats with Dr. Anthony Gustin about the benefits of intuitive cooking and their shared food philosophies.

As you’ll hear, intuitive cooking is the exact opposite of following step-by-step recipes.

It’s about mastering the basics and using all your senses to freestyle healthy, nourishing meals that make the most of local, seasonally available, fresh ingredients.

So in this episode, Myles and Dr. Gustin dish about food shopping tips, biodynamic farming, and why “almost any food can be healthy.” They even brainstorm a few reasons for why you feel hungry and unsatisfied after eating at the best restaurants.

Other topics include:

The difference between well-cooked food and a nourishing meal
Why stressing about food macros may do more harm than good
How your location and season naturally influence your eating preferences
Foods Myles avoids
Using high-quality condiments (like oils, vinegars, and the best ketchup!) to add excitement to simple staple meals
How to transform “unhealthy” foods into nutritious noshes
The magic and science of open-fire cooking (and why it’s the best cooking skill)
