Food Home and Garden

Season 1

Episode 132: Duck Confity Rillettes

In this episode, Gretchen talks through one of her favorite foods, Duck Confit! and then turns it into duck rillettes.

Episode 131: Everything Oil and Pickled Fruits

Due to Gretchen being overwhelmed by making Christmas presents - this episode about Christmas presents is a few days late for the actual day. This spicy oil would be a great gift to yourself any time of year. Pickled fruits are probably a bit more specialized depending on your palate.

Episode 130: Chocolate Truffles

It's finally time to cover truffles! At least the chocolate ones. These easy holiday treats are so easy to modify and personalize. There is some discussion of ganache and what it is.

Episode 129: Almond Extract

Gretchen made almond extract at home! So Simple! She talks through the process, why you can't just drink it straight, and what she may do different in the future. And this is a quick one.

Episode 128: Carbonara

Gretchen finally gets around to making carbonara and breaking down recipes from the internet, because there are a lot of them. Gretchen thought she was losing her mind at one point because all the recipes call for whole egg and she was taught with only yolks. And don't you dare bring cream anywhere near this sauce. In the end success was had with this sauce,

Episode 127: Soba Noodles

Join Gretchen again for another recipe she discovers does not have added benefits from making your own! Buckwheat flour proves a bit of a challenge and learn a bit about buckwheat in the process.

Episode 126: Black Pepper Papads

Another thing Gretchen will never feel compelled to make again! While papads seem fairly straightforward to make, there is probably a bit of a trick to them. And you can buy premade ones at the store or from your favorite Indian Restaurant, which feels like the better way to go. Listen to Gretchen struggle through this one!

Episode 125: Braised Pork Shoulder

Finally, we're braising! Gretchen makes a braised pork shoulder from Anthony Bourdain's Appetites Cookbook which uses coke! It's interesting and it works! Paired with Soba noodles and the recommended cucumber pickles, this dish is pretty fantastic. But of course Gretchen has notes!

Episode 124: Crispy Lentils

Gretchen discusses why lentils are one of the best foods for you if you can manage to eat a half a cup per day! And why crispy lentils might be better - or at least helpful to add some variety to getting all those awesome nutrients. Also mentioned in this cute little episode - 400 degrees might be too hot to roast lentils, why you can't use the larger varieties, and that you can play with this recipe to make it your own! Crispy lentils might be the ultimate nutritional pantry power up,

Episode 123: Plum Cake

What is better in summer than stone fruit? Gretchen found this recipe from Preppy Kitchen that is absolutely fantastic and works perfect with juicy fruit! Tender and tart this Plum version was even better than the original recipe that calls for peaches.
