We are all stuck in our houses at this time of Corona, and try to stay out of public contact as much as possible. This means that many of us can’t run to the grocery store every few days to pick up all the ingredients we need. Subsequently our pantries are running low. Today, we have some great ideas for ingredient substitutions including paleo and gluten free diets! Make sure you check out our substitution list on our “Recipe Substitutions” blog post at ThisIsyu.com

So, you’ve gathered all the ingredients to bake something comforting, and realize you are missing just one ingredient. Here are some ideas. We will name the substitutions, but all the specific amounts could make for some tedious podcast listening. Get some ideas here, and then get the specific ingredient ratios in our blog post “ Recipe Substitutions” on the This Is Yu.com website.

Welcome to Episode 15 of This Is Yu Podcast.
The voice you first heard is special guest Phil Rosenthal.

He is the creator and host of “Somebody Feed Phil,” a hit series on Netflix, in which he explores his love of food and travel through his humorous and childlike wide-eyed wonder.

Phil provides an exclusive sneak peek into Season Three of his hit Netflix show. Then he inspires us with stories of his successes and failures in life and entertainment. He invigorates us with advice about maintaining humor in everyday life. And, of course we talk about male modeling, and his newly adopted Great Pyrenees puppy, Murray.

Phil studied theater at Hofstra University on Long Island. He worked as an actor, writer, and director in New York, until he moved to Los Angeles in 1989.

After writing for series such as “Down the Shore” and “Coach”, in 1995, he created the hit comedy “Everybody Loves Raymond.” He was nominated for over 70 Emmy awards, winning 15, including the 2003 and 2005 awards for Best Comedy Series.

He has also won the 2002 Writers Guild Award for Excellence in Television Writing, and the peabody award for the 9/11 Telethon, America: A Tribute to Heroes.”

His first food travel series “I’ll have what Phil’s having” aired on PBS in 2015, for which he received a James Beard Award in 2016.

His most recent series “Somebody Feed Phil” follows his true love of bringing family, food, and travel to the table. In his own words, “Here’s what I’ve learned: food is what connects us, and Laughs are the cement.”

Phil lives here in Los Angeles with his wife, two children, and newly adopted sweetest, cutest Great Pyrennees puppy, Murray, who has his own Daily Murray segment on Phil’s Instagram.

After we talk to Phil, we have a new segment 7 reasons why you should eat chocolate.

Thank you to Phil of "Somebody Feed Phil” again for your time and infectious positivity. We were so honored and appreciative that you gave us the gift of your presence and your insight.

This is Carole, Phil, I will always refer back to this episode whenever I need a moment of inspiration and centering to keep my spirits up! Thank you for that.

We mentioned that we were dropping off some cookies to Phil. After he received them, he forwarded a photo with the cookies and told us “The Cookies are Phenomenal." Go to our instagram @ThisIsYuOfficial to see that pic of Phil with those amazing Spelt Chocolate Chip cookies. We’re glad we could bring a little love to Phil and his family, because we definitely felt that love when we spoke with him.

Those were sounds of Rome where I had the pleasure of living with my family back in 2000. And where our guest, Kristina Gill lives today. We speak with Kristina about her former life at Design Sponge, the menagerie that lives in her backyard in Rome, how she gets inspiration and her beautiful cookbook.

But, first, we continue our ever popular kitchen hacks segment.

Today, we welcome Kristina Gill, former food and drinks editor at Design Sponge, cookbook author and International traveler.

Kristina grew up in Tennessee, earned her BA from Stanford, and her MA from Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. She transferred to Rome in 1999 and has lived there since. She connected with Grace Bonney online, and became the food and drinks editor for DesignSponge.

Her column in the late 2000’s till last year” In the Kitchen With” expanded the reach of the magazine into food in cooperation with design and lifestyle. She is also a food and travel photographer, having traveled extensively in south east asia. She also works as a humanitarian advisor managing a portfolio of assistance that responds to emergency situations in the fight against hunger.

This is our Rome episode. Carole, tell our listeners why you lived in Rome.

I love Rome, the sounds, the experience, and as Kristina also mentioned, all the smells of Mama’s home cooking wafting from small kitchens to fill the bellies of all they love.

Thank you for visiting Rome with us today.

Thank you so much to Kristina for joining us in today’s conversation. We loved to hear about your life in the countryside in Rome, you brought back many visions of Rome and Italy that we could appreciate during this time when all we want to do it travel further than our front driveway.

C-Welcome to Episode 25 of This Is Yu Podcast.

C -This Is Carole Yu and Scott Stewart

This Is Yu Podcast Music intro....

C-You just heard a clip from Justin Warner’s show for Marvel called “Eat the Universe.” More on that later.

But, first, today, taking inspiration from Justin and his quirky science meets food mashup world, we’re going to talk Molecular Gastronomy. Stay tuned to after the interview with Justin where we’ll actually step you through one of his super galactic recipes.

S-Carole, I remember about ten years ago you bought Dara a molecular gastronomy kit for her to play around with. I think you got it on Amazon right? How did that come about as even an option?
S- Today we welcome Justin Warner who burst onto the food scene by winning Season 8 of Food Network Star.

What’s amazing is he’s totally self taught and has created a life full of creative and idiosyncratic food.

C- I remember watching that season, and I was so blown away by his inventiveness. I think because he doesn’t have that formal training, his vision isn’t clouded by traditional ways to cook foods, and pair flavorings.

S- We talk to Justin about his early competitive spirit when he was still in middle school in Maryland. Justin worked his way up through the front of house in restaurants, until he worked in NYC for Danny Meyer. He was a captain at The Modern which is a restaurant in the Museum of Modern Art.

C- Justin then appeared on 24 hour restaurant battle on the Food Network in August 2010 and won with his brunch restaurant concept. Then, he got called back in 2012 to be on Alton Brown’s team on the 8th season of Food Network Star. He won, and that’s how his food media career took off.

S- Around this same time, Justin had a restaurant called Do Or Dine, in Brooklyn, which paired unusual tastes together, like and caviar nachos, shishito with yuzu, wasabi, hickory and green tea, or venison wontons with Jarlsberg cheese.

C- I remember we ate there with Dara, and Justin was super engaging and even sat down with us for half an hour talking about food TV competitions, since Dara had just finished her show on MasterChef Jr. I was dying over the fish and chips. It had an entire deep-fried fish that looked like it was swimming on top of a huge pile of fries. Mmmm, so mouthwatering.

S- Justin has several cookbooks, and more to come and now has a partnership where he has done over 47 videos for Marvel Comics with his Eat the Universe cooking show. He represents as Marvel’s food expert at all the great comic conventions.

C- Here you go, Take a listen.....
C-Thank you so much to Justin for joining us in today’s conversation. It’s been so awesome to follow your career from restauranteur to Food Network Star to Marvel comics food expert.

S- We’re so happy that you’ve found a way to really make the most of your creative and innovative food spirit!

S-As always, we really appreciate your thoughts and feedback about the show.

C-You can reach us on Instagram or Facebook at [This Is Yu Official] or you can leave us a voice memo at [562-291-6037]. We listen to all the voicemails.

S- Home base is www.ThisIsYu.com

C- Thanks for listening to the show. Speaking of APPLE PODCASTS, Please SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT and RATE our THIS IS YU PODCAST.
