  • The kitchen inspiration you need! 🌟

    This is the food-focused show I look most forward to every week! I am cookbook-obsessed and I love hearing about the latest and learning a bit about the authors. I am constantly inspired by hearing what both Maggie and her guests are cooking, what items are always on hand in their pantry/fridge/freezer, and what cookbooks they can’t live without. Now I’m off to listen to the episode that got released today, eeeee! 🤩

  • So inspiring!

    This podcast is a cool glass of white wine while sautéing mushrooms for risotto in a hot buttery pan. It crackles with creativity. It soothes the mind. It is my go-to podcast. I am my family’s meal planner and I am always looking for inspiration. This podcast is my new favorite place to be. It leaves me feeling connected, inspired, and ready to cook. Give it a listen!

Q: What do you think are some of the important advantages of canned ingredients for home cooks?
Canned ingredients are non-perishable, they save time as you don't need to soak or prepare them, and they allow for delicious meals in the off-season.
