Kuku Sabzi with Rebecca: "Chlorophyll Punch"

10/15/19 • 39 min

Today I am joining Rebecca Miller Ffrench (yes, that's how you spell her last name!) in her apartment in New York City, where we’re whisking up a batch of Kuku Sabzi, a Persian baked egg dish packed with fresh herbs. Rebecca is a very talented cake baker and decorator, whose floral wedding cakes are in high demand. She loves bright flavors and learning about new ingredients, so this dish is perfect for her and a fun way to kick off our pilot episode. Listen in.

Trailer: "Kitchen Radio" cooking podcast

Hello, I’m Jennifer Clair, host of Kitchen Radio, a new cooking podcast launching October 15 that will bring you into the kitchens of home cooks across the country. Join me as I teach them how to cook a dish they’ve always wanted to learn, while also rooting through their pantries and refrigerators to uncover the stories behind the ingredients they buy.

This podcast is designed to make you more comfortable in your home kitchen by listening in on a cooking class taking place in one just like your own. This season, I’ll be showing up in kitchens across New York State: Laurel Brandstetter wants to learn how to make the perfect roast chicken, my optician Ryon Odneal wants to master his wok; Meredith Heuer, a photographer, is curious about lamb chops, and writer Sam Anderson loves himself a good breakfast burrito. We’ll kick off the season with a visit to Rebecca Ffrench, a talented cake baker who wants to make a Persian kuku, which is basically a frittata on steroids. Each episode will include a full recipe for the dish we are cooking, as well as a chance to ask me any culinary questions you have and even pitch yourself as a future guest.

I have been teaching cooking classes to home cooks for 17 years, both in their home kitchen and at my brick-and-mortar cooking school -- Home Cooking New York -- in downtown New York City. This podcast was born of the desire to bring cooking classes into as many home kitchens as I can, with the help of a microphone and the world wide web.

A new episode of Kitchen Radio will arrive every two weeks. You can read more about the show, and me, at homecookingny.com; just click on the “Kitchen Radio” link.

Thanks for listening, and until we meet again in Rebecca’s kitchen, toodle-oo!

Breakfast Burritos with Sam: "Walmart Beans"

Today I am joining Sam Anderson in Beacon, New York, where we’re cooking up a batch of breakfast burritos. Sam is a writer-at-large for The New York Times Magazine and the author of my favorite book this year, called Boom Town, about the spontaneous birth of Oklahoma City. Years ago, he used to join me for cooking classes back when I taught out of my kitchen in our small town, almost a decade ago. It’s been years since we’ve been in a kitchen together, but he is still an excellent student. Listen in.

RECIPE: How to make an excellent breakfast burrito at home.

GUEST INFO: Check out Sam Anderson's acclaimed soliloquy on flavor and his excellent book, Boom Town.
