We have Ollie to thank for bringing us this ep about a topic near, if not dear: the headache of feeding ourselves and others. (We have to do this multiple times a day?!?!). The app helps you figure out what to cook, makes your grocery list, and *learns what you like*—it’s a whole thing, and we’re grateful for the robots for helping us with this task. In related topics: our always-on-hand grocery items and supermarket immersive theater.

 

Stuff always in our pantries/fridges: Chara’s Kitchen Barbeque Sauce, Kewpie Roasted Sesame Dressing (the made-in-Japan version!), Mutti Cherry Tomatoes, Bjorn Qorn (related:nutritional yeast), Chaokoh Coconut Milk, The Rice Factory Rice, Painterland Sisters Skyr Yogurt, Portugalia Market tinned fish. 

 

Recipes we love rn include Eric Kim’s shredded chicken in the Instant Pot for Food52, Sarah DiGregorio’s salmon and kimchi skillet for NYT Cooking, Smitten Kitchen’s slow-roasted sweet potatoes, and the tofu sheet-pan dinner from the cookbook Kid in the Kitchen by Melissa Clark

 

Two exceptional easy-cooking cookbooks with companion newsletters: What to Cook When You Don't Feel Like Cooking by Caroline Chambers and Small Victories by Julia Turshen.
