This week on Milk Street Radio, we discover the backstreet cooking of Armenia, Georgia and Iran with Naomi DuGuid: “We sit and sip tea together. That’s just magical — you know we don’t have a language, but we’re so appreciating that moment... there’s just this feeling... it’s a huge world but we can hold hands across the sea, across a table.” Also, Fuchsia Dunlop joins us live at Milk Street; The New Yorker’s Adam Gopnik discusses ethical eating; we learn a better way to make stew; and, finally, Christopher Kimball and Sarah Moulton take your calls.

101: Good Morning Vietnam

This week on Milk Street Radio, we take a look inside the Vietnamese kitchen and talk to Andrea Nguyen about everything from breakfast banh mi to “kheo.” “I think authenticity comes from the ability to cook well and to cook with intent,” Nguyen says. “We describe good cooking, thoughtful cooking, as cooking that is kheo.” Also on this week’s show: Dr. Aaron Carroll questions the necessity of breakfast; Milk Street rethinks scrambled eggs; we visit a thriving Syrian refugee camp bakery; Sara Moulton and Christopher Kimball take your calls; and we talk about carbon-steel pans, an alternative to nonstick.
