Rebecca Firkser is a writer, recipe developer, and food stylist based in Brooklyn. Her debut cookbook, Galette!, celebrates the highly riffable, always buttery pleasures of free-form tarts. In this episode, Rebecca and Aliza go deep on developing foolproof pastry recipes for nervous bakers like me, making a debut cookbook after years of working on others, and more.

Also on the show, Matt catches up with Mitchell Davis to talk about the Great Nosh, a Jewish food and culture festival taking place on June 22 in New York City. They talk about the incredible lineup of chef collaborations, including Thai Diner x Katz’s Deli, Caroline Schiff x Junior’s Cheesecake, JP Park of Atoboy x Apollo Bagels, and Zahav x Ed Szymanski of Dame.

While The Great Nosh is sold out, the festival has opened up additional tickets for the 2pm entry. Use the code TASTE to access the tickets at: thegreatnosh.com
