Taylor’s Everyday Butter Pasta for Everybody 1-2 handfuls of pasta of choice (depending on how hungry you are!) Enough water to submerge pasta (see your pasta cooking instructions) Fresh or canned tomatoes (fresh tomatoes will need a little longer cook time to break them down) Gochujang or red chili flakes (to taste! optional, but recommended!) 3-4 tbsp of your favourite butter (if using salted butter, adjust salt added to pasta water) ½ tsp of acid of choice (white wine vinegar or lemon are both nice!) Black pepper and flaky finishing salt to taste Grated parmesan to taste (if you want!) Cook your pasta of choice al dente, and reserve ¼ cup of pasta water for sauce. Heat cast iron or skillet over medium heat and add your tomatoes. Crush tomatoes in the pan and mix juices with butter and gochugang. Add splash of vinegar or lemon juice. Use reserved pasta water if sauce is too thick! Add pasta to sauce in pan and stir until noodles are coated. Plate up and finish off with parmesan, flaky salt and black pepper. Enjoy!
Sasha’s Microwave Ramen Recipe 1½ cups of water 1 instant ramen packet of your choice, I used Shin Ramyun ½ cup of frozen spinach 2 generous forkfuls of kimchi 1 fried egg Soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Place your ramen noodles into an Anyday deep dish, or any large microwave-safe bowl. Cover them with water and microwave for 4 minutes. Carefully remove your ramen from the microwave. Add your frozen spinach, soy sauce, and ramen seasoning packet. Stir and place back in your microwave for one minute. Top with kimchi and fried egg. Serve! Griffin's Rice Cooker Lentils 3 tablespoons butter 1 Sliced medium yellow onion 1 small carrot cut into thin rounds Salt, Pepper, Msg Spices (to taste) Cumin, Celery seeds, Paprika powder, Garlic powder One bag of lentils Broth, stock cube or water Add butter to rice cooker on warm with lid on. Chop veggies Remove lid switch rice cooker to heat and immediately add the onions and carrots, salt and pepper to taste and two pinches of MSG. Stir until the onions are softened but not translucent. Add the spices and stir in. Add lentils and mix until thoroughly coated in oil (if all of the butter has been absorbed add some more at this point, or extra virgin olive oil to add some grassy notes to the final product) Cover with your choice of liquid mix and put on the lid. Periodically check if the lentils are softened till mashable, keep topping off the lentils with liquid to delay the rice cooker switching from cook to warm. Enjoy now or once the flavors have had time to intermingle.

Buckle up, snowflake. Get ready for a TOTAL EVISCERATION of all things soy. That’s right, on this episode of From the Pantry, we’re dropping a LOGIC BOMB on the Myth of the Soyboy. We’ll be talking PHYTOESTROGENS, FAKE NEWS, and why this particular soy-themed insult gained such popularity over the last few years. Join producer Sam Gerardi as he wades through the bro science muck to get some answers.
Over the past six months, our team, as well as, the rest of the country, have experienced a lot of grief and heartache. As we grapple with how to navigate these losses - whether it’s a loved one or the threat to our freedoms - something that has always helped us cope is food, and its connections to community and each other. This shared experience brought us into conversations about how food can act as an intimate and integral part of mourning. The stories in our Season 17 finale include a visit to a temple to explore how food, ritual and memory come together, a talk with a death doula, the recipes that remind us to connect with the ones that are still here– as well as a few familiar ones from seasons’ past. Stick around to the end of the episode for a special little conversation between Hosts and Executive Producers H Conley and Taylor Early, a love note if you will, to Meat and Three and the community of storytellers that have contributed to the airwaves over the past seasons.
In the third and final episode of The Cult of Chef, producer Hannah Chouinard turns to those trying to reform food service, and those trying to keep it the same. She makes the case that the media’s failure to cover reform organizations and workers’ rights has hampered efforts to improve working conditions, and strengthened the position of actors who benefit from the status quo. In conversation with Reem Assil and Stephanie Luce, she urges journalists and writers to reflect on whose perspectives they prioritize, and consider who they want to align themselves with as we move into an unpredictable political future.
In this episode, we uncork a different kind of wine story—one rooted in joy, land, and legacy. From a biodiverse vineyard in the Midwest to a Black-owned Prosecco brand in South Carolina, we meet the innovators reshaping the wine world on their own terms. You’ll hear from Krista Scruggs of ZAFA Wines, Justin Wages of Don Luchi Prosecco, sommelier LaShea Delaney, and Cecilia Cuff of Bronzeville Winery, as they share what it means to cultivate not just grapes, but community. Together, they’re building ecosystems—on the land and in the industry—that defy tradition and reimagine who wine is for.
In episode two of The Cult of Chef, producer Hannah Chouinard digs into the reality of workplace abuse in food service and argues that focusing on the people in positions of power comes at a cost to everyone else who makes a restaurant run. Through interviews and features from Julia Moskin, Reem Assil, and Saru Jayaraman, she finds that the media’s disinterest in workers’ issues has enabled abuse. She calls on journalists and writers to expand their ideas about what makes a compelling story, noting that toxic systems are bad for everyone, including the chefs they privilege.
