Home Cooking blends culinary advice, listener questions, humor and story-telling. Samin does more of what she did best in her cookbook, Salt Fat Acid Heat, and Netflix series of the same name -- using her infectious enthusiasm and profound knowledge of all things food to help listeners become better cooks. Hrishi's terrible puns and thoughtful curiosity create a welcoming vibe that resonates with cooks of all levels.
