A new podcast by cook, teacher, and author Samin Nosrat (Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat) and podcast host and creator Hrishikesh Hirway, Home Cooking helps listeners figure out what to cook with what they already have at home during quarantine. Episodes so far have dealt with wide-ranging questions from the ongoing bean quandary (to soak or not to soak?) to creative baking when all-purpose flour is in low supply.
