Samin Nosrat & Hrishikesh Hirway

From Samin Nosrat (chef and author of Good Things and Salt Fat Acid Heat) and Hrishikesh Hirway (creator and host of the podcast Song Exploder), Home Cooking is back with a brand new season. If you need help in the kitchen, or just want some creative inspiration, we’ve got you covered.

Home Cooking

It’s the return of Samini's Teeny Tahini Sardini Panini! Plus: the pleasure and pain of making the ultimate chile crisp; blanching at having to blanch; and finding cast iron treasure in the lost-and-fond.

Annie, Get Your Gunk

This episode was recorded live in San Francisco at the Sydney Goldstein Theater, as part of Samin’s Good Things book tour! It was hosted by City Arts & Lectures, and recorded by KQED. There’s a real spirit of togetherness and gathering in Good Things, so getting together in person with 1,700 people felt like a great way to talk about Samin’s food ideas in the cookbook—and answer listener questions that came from folks in the Bay Area!

2 Babka 2 Furious

For the first time, we're recording an episode in the same room! Which means Hrishi is in arm's length of Samin if she decides to smack him for a bad pun! (No Hrishis were harmed in the making of this episode.) We're talking about the unfortunately named shoofly pie, and a couple that's unfortunately divided on their love of mayonnaise. Listen to this episode while you re-organize your fridge!

Mayo May Not Delete

We are thrilled to be back for the eleventieth season in our four-part series! Right now, it’s time to KICK OUT THE JAMS! We’ve got questions that are high in iron, and answers that are high in irony. And a Chef Detective that we’re hoping no one will have beef with, featuring advice from Samin's old cooking colleague Emily Su-Bowden.

Apricot Girl Summer

You should never under-season your food, and you should never under-season your podcasts! So we're coming back with a brand new season of our podcast, starting on August 29th! "New season" implies that we had previous "seasons" and not just a flurry of episodes in 2020, followed by unreasonably long fallow periods with sporadic individual episodes. But never mind that! Eight more episodes are coming soon, so please send your cooking questions to alittlehomecooking@gmail.com, and make sure you're subscribed to this feed!

Coming Soon: Season Whatever of Our Four-Part Series!

Big News! Samin’s second cookbook, Good Things, will be published this September! You can preorder it here now!

And to celebrate the book release, Samin will be touring across North America this fall for a series of conversations with friends (and occasionally, Hrishi). Get your tickets now for these events, which promise to be full of laughter, connection, and deliciousness (unless Hrishi is moderating, in which case all we can promise is bickering and puns).

In the meantime, here’s a new episode with some questions about eggs, rice, saffron, and specialty condiments — plus a visit from our favorite food influencer, Sumesh Uncle.

Cultural Anther-pology (with Sumesh Uncle)

Our holiday episode this year is a Christmas special. Samin is making puns and courting controversy (don't let a Chicagoan hear how she eats a hot dog). And Hrishi’s making a weird sandwich, and trying to recreate a treat he sampled in London. Featuring listeners’ questions, plus a conversation about an ancient fish sauce between Samin and our friend and co-host of Radiolab, Latif Nasser.

Frankly, We Have a Lot to Ketchup On (with Latif Nasser)

It’s Thanksgiving, and so, like giblets and your racist aunt, this is the only time this year that you’ll have to deal with us. Welcome to the first (and possibly only) installment of our chill era, featuring our favorite retired food scientist, Dr. Sumesh Uncle Hirway.

Mulberry Me Alive (with Dr. Sumesh Uncle Hirway)

We’re back for a special episode of the podcast, and we’re getting questions and giving thanks as we get ready for the high holy day of home kitchens. We got a special surprise in the form of a question from international pop superstar Camila Cabello! Also, we finally made shirts that say “Shrimp J*nga Forever!” and you can get one at homecooking.show/shrimpjenga.

You can listen to Hrishi’s new song here, and watch his TED Talk here,

Happy Tangsgiving! (with Camila Cabello)

Hello again! We’ve climbed out of our cave and here we are, blinking bewilderedly in the light of the bright sun, trying to remember how to make this podcast. Join us as we slice up a veritable fruit salad of questions, including one about raisins from our new puppet friends Waffles & Mochi. They’re the titular characters of the new Netflix kids show that just came out. Samin is in the show, too, so you should go watch it as soon as you’re done listening to this!

Starch Nemesis (with Waffles & Mochi)

We’re joined by actor Jason Mantzoukas, one of our favorite people. He’s a novice in the kitchen who needs a little help getting comfortable with some cooking basics. Plus, we call up Hrishi’s dad, a.k.a. Sumesh Uncle the Food Scientist, for some information on his newest favorite gadget: an air fryer.
