christine@cookthestory.com (Christine Pittman) — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 09:30:00 +0000

Excitement is the theme of the day, and I have a lot that I'm excited about. First, the low dollar amount that I spent at Aldi's to feed a crowd for my upcoming improv party, which I am also very excited about. Have I mentioned that I love doing improv? lol

Another thing to be excited about is the No Recipe Chicken Parm that I tell you how to make in this episode. It's really the easiest thing, but tastes just like the classic. You're going to be totally wow'ed by this one, promise.

Ukrainian Studenetz with Christine

christine@cookthestory.com (Christine Pittman) — Sat, 4 Apr 2026 09:00:00 +0000

My own family's Easter menu is the focus of today's Recipe of the Day podcast episode. There's the usual ham, deviled eggs, scalloped potatoes, and veg. But then also two extras that really make it feel like Easter to me, and I'm going to tell you more about making them.

First up is Paska, that beautiful braided Ukrainian bread. My family's version, which goes back to my great grandmother, has saffron and golden raisins. Today, I'm not telling you how to make it though. I am instead lamenting about flour in Florida and hoping for a solution.

Second is something I only ever make at Easter time, although I don't know why, since I love it so much. It's a traditional Ukrainian meat dish called studenetz. You've probably heard it called something else, but I prefer to not use that name. "Studenetz" has a more musical ring to it, and people are more likely to taste it and to like it when it has that title!

Marty's getting a surprise this weekend! It's fairly well known that he's particular when it comes to food, especially in terms of what he likes and doesn’t like. And on our live cooking show, COOKforTWO Live with Christine and Marty, he gives his honest opinion about whether he likes what I make.

Tomorrow on the live show though, I'm making all things that he likes, but he doesn’t know it. You will though, because I tell you all about it in today’s podcast episode. Listen to find out what I’m making tomorrow and how much Marty will like it. Then you can be in on the surprise with me!

Today on the Recipe of the Day podcast, I’m also telling you how I make something that both Marty and I love that I don’t use a recipe for. It’s Shrimp Piccata, and it ends up a bit different every time, but always delicious.

Make sure to listen to today’s episode, and then tune in on YouTube for our live cooking show tomorrow, Sunday, March 29th, at 6pm Eastern. It’s on the COOKtheSTORY YouTube channel. You’ll find it there, or comment "listen" below and I’ll send you a link with the details.

Halibut Cheeks with Sena Wheeler

christine@cookthestory.com (Christine Pittman, Sena Wheeler) — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 09:30:00 +0000

Halibut cheeks? Yes, really. In this episode, I’m talking with Sena Wheeler from @senasea-seafoods about which Alaskan fish are in season in March. It's a conversation that also touches on fresh versus frozen, seafood safety, and how to cook it perfectly too.

Sena also shares a recipe for halibut cheeks and talks about why this cut is so prized. They’re tender, sweet, and a real treat if you can get your hands on them.

I also have a quick update from my own kitchen as I get ready for an upcoming vacation. Things have been a bit hectic, so I talk about the time limits I’ve been setting for myself to make sure everything gets done without completely draining my energy.

No recipe tonight? No problem! In this episode of the Recipe of the Day podcast, I’m sharing a few things happening behind the scenes and one of my favorite ways to cook when I’m not following a recipe. I announce some upcoming livestream events, including two YouTube cooking show episodes and two Zoom calls for COOKforTWO members, and talk about how you can join in.

I also share a quick pantry tip about cans of V8 juice and why they’re really useful to have on hand.

Then I walk you through a dish I make all the time without really following a recipe. It's my “risotto on a whim.” Creamy and tasty and exactly the thing I make when I feel like being in the kitchen in a hands-on way, but not for too too long, you know?

Farro Tuscan Soup with Christine

christine@cookthestory.com (Christine Pittman) — Sat, 7 Mar 2026 10:30:00 +0000

Waste less, cook faster! I’m sharing a simple kitchen habit that cuts down on food waste while making prep and cleanup a bit quicker too.

In this solo episode, I talk about a small shift in the way you handle ingredients that can save time and keep good food from ending up in the trash. It’s an easy change, but once you start doing it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t always cook this way.

I also share the version of Tuscan soup that I make for my family all the time but have never actually written down. Instead of potatoes, I use farro, which adds a hearty texture that almost mimics the Italian sausage so every bite is extra delicious.

Tomato Water Salad with Me!

christine@cookthestory.com (Christine Pittman) — Sat, 28 Feb 2026 10:30:00 +0000

This dish became a house favorite before it ever had a name. In this episode, I’m sharing the story behind it and why I’m finally writing it down after years of making it from memory.

I talk about how the idea started with something Marty ate constantly during a summer in Israel and how he asked me to recreate it at home. From there, it blended with one specific version of pan con tomate that we fell in love with in Barcelona, and over time it evolved into something somewhere in between that I call Tomato Water Salad.

This is part of a bigger trend for me right now, paying attention to the things that I make without a written recipe and capturing them so other people can cook them too, especially my teenagers as they learn their way around the kitchen. Tomato Water Salad is simple, fresh, deeply tomato-forward, and still the best tomato dish I make to this day.

Steak and Salad with Me!

christine@cookthestory.com (Christine Pittman) — Sat, 21 Feb 2026 10:30:00 +0000

No guest this week. Just me in my kitchen.

My interview laptop is still broken, so instead of talking to someone else, I’m talking to you. In this episode, I share the meal I make all the time but have never written down. It’s not on my sites. There’s no official recipe. It’s just something I do when I want a treat of a dinner and don’t feel like overthinking it.

It’s a pan-fried chuck eye steak on a bed of garlicky salad, and the salad gets tossed with the steak juices right from the pan. That’s basically the whole trick. It’s simple, really good, and exactly the kind of thing I make for just me or for me and Marty.

I also talk a bit about the random kitchen wisdom that sticks with you, like how my grandmother always kept canned milk around, what I realized about shelf-stable milk when I was living in Belgium, and why UHT or evaporated milk just works better for me right now.

It’s a very me-centered episode. A little rambling, a little practical, and all about making dinner in a way that fits real life.

Links:
This is not the exact salad I make, but it's sort of close. I actually put red wine vinegar and a bit of olive oil in a bowl, use a rasp (micro plane) to grate in a clove of garlic, whisk, add spring mix, toss, taste, add more vinegar or more oil or more spring mix, toss, add coarse kosher salt, toss, taste.

This is how I cook chuck eye steaks, sort of. I don't put butter in the skillet. Instead, I put grapeseed oil on the steaks themselves. I also try to season the steaks with kosher salt and a good sprinkle of garlic powder at least an hour before cooking them. If it's less than an hour, I skip the garlic powder because it won't have time to hydrate and tends to burn.

Broiler Kebab Sheet Pan Meal with Ashley Covelli

christine@cookthestory.com (Ashley Covelli, Christine Pittman) — Sat, 14 Feb 2026 10:30:00 +0000

What if the most romantic dinner of the year didn’t require a reservation, a prix fixe menu, or a sink full of dishes?

It’s Valentine’s Day, and in this episode I’m sharing the simple but extravagant menu that Marty and I are making as part of our relaxed weekend at home. We’re cooking a dinner that feels special without being fussy, the kind of dinner that will let us sit and chat at the table chatting, without spending tons of time making it first.

My guest today is Ashley Covelli from Big Flavors from a Tiny Kitchen. She cooks delicious, vibrant meals in a small space, and she joins me to talk about managing a pantry so it actually works for you and building bold flavor from everyday ingredients.

Ashley also shares her Broiler Kebab Sheet Pan Dinner. It’s straightforward, packed with flavor, and designed for real small-house life. Big taste, minimal space, and no complicated techniques required!

Alfajores with Paula Montenegro

christine@cookthestory.com (Christine Pittman, Paula Montenegro) — Sat, 7 Feb 2026 10:30:00 +0000

Forget step by step instructions and perfectly measured teaspoons. Paula Montenegro is here to take us back to a time when recipes assumed you already knew how to cook.

Paula is the voice behind the blog Vintage Kitchen Notes and is a lifelong home baker from Argentina. In this episode, we talk about how people used to cook, how recipes were written more like reminders than instructions, and what that says about cooking knowledge then versus now.
She also shares the recipe for classic Argentinian alfajores, tender cornstarch cookies filled with dulce de leche, and why they are such a beloved treat. We also dig into how dulce de leche is made and why it's simpler than many people think.

Mediterranean Chicken Sheet Pan Freezer Meal With Sharla

christine@cookthestory.com (Christine Pittman, Sharla Kostelyk) — Sat, 31 Jan 2026 10:30:00 +0000

Today’s episode feels extra special because later today Marty and I are going live on YouTube for the very first time, and it all traces back to a conversation I had over a year ago. I’m talking with Sharla Kostelyk from FreezerMeals101.com, whose live cooking demos and her Freezer Meal community really got me thinking about what you, my listeners, are actually looking for.

So yes, Sharla was one of the inspirations for our new COOKforTWO.us community and I am so grateful to her. Today I'm sharing our conversation about how Sharla came to adopt freezer meals as a lifestyle and started her blog. Honestly, this conversation was a revelation for me. I thought I knew what freezer meals were, but it turns out I really did not. There’s a good chance you’ll be surprised too. We talk about what freezer meals actually are, why they're different from leftovers, and how this way of cooking can save time without sacrificing flavor.

She also walks us through one of her favorite recipes, a Mediterranean chicken sheet pan freezer meal that is incredibly easy and packed with flavor.

And be sure to come see me and Marty live on YouTube at 2:00pm EST today, Saturday, January 31st. Go to the COOKtheSTORY youtube channel @cookthestory1059 or TheCookful.com/c42live to watch.

Duck Burgers with Chef JRob

christine@cookthestory.com (Chef JRob, Christine Pittman) — Sat, 24 Jan 2026 10:30:00 +0000

Super Bowl snacks just got a lot more interesting. Chef JRob, the "rockstar chef" who's been on Ciao House, Food Network’s Chopped, Food Network’s Iron Chef Showdown, and Fox’s Master Chef, is here to share fun, crowd-pleasing ways to turn duck into game-day favorites.

In this episode, we talk about why duck is far more versatile than most people think, how to make it feel approachable even if you have never cooked it before, and which flavors and formats make the most sense for Super Bowl-style food.

And before we get into all of that, I have a quick announcement at the top of the episode about something exciting happening next week, including how you can join in and ask me your cooking questions live.

Döner Kebab with Sophie Sadler

christine@cookthestory.com (Christine Pittman, Sophie Sadler) — Sat, 17 Jan 2026 10:30:00 +0000

Skip the plane ticket! Sophie Sadler is here with the homesick cook’s answer to Germany’s most surprising street food: homemade döner kebab, right down to making the bread.

Sophie specializes in German cooking on her blog Dirndle Kitchen, and in this episode we talk about how döner, while not traditionally “German,” is so woven into everyday life in German.

We discuss the real-deal components that make döner taste like the ones she remembers and Sophie walks us through building that classic döner experience at home, from the seasoned meat to the creamy sauce and fresh toppings, with homemade bread that seals the deal.

In this episode, I also share why I love 3 day meal plans and how they can make your week go more smoothly, easily.

Fish en Papillote with Mike Kostyo

christine@cookthestory.com (Christine Pittman, Mike Kostyo) — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 10:30:00 +0000

Forget about chasing the loudest food trends! In 2026, the real movement is quieter, more personal, and a lot more meaningful.

Mike Kostyo of Menu Matters is back to kick off the new year, and this time he's zooming out. As a Trendologist who studies what we're eating now and what we'll be eating later, Mike explains why the next wave of food culture is less about viral ingredients and more about authenticity, intention, and connection. Think smaller batch, clearer sourcing, and brands choosing what truly fits them instead of jumping on every bandwagon. I've got to say, I'm pretty psyched!

In this episode, we talk about how consumers are craving food that feels real, where it comes from, who made it, and why it exists. We also discuss how this shift shows up in restaurants, grocery stores, and home kitchens, and what it means for how we cook and eat week to week.

Mike also shares one of his favorite breezy weeknight dinners that fits perfectly with this mindset. Fish en papillote is simple, flexible, and quietly elegant, letting ingredients shine without a lot of fussiness. It's proof that cooking well doesn't have to be complicated to taste great.

If you're curious about where food culture is heading next and how to bring those ideas into your own kitchen, this conversation will leave you inspired and grounded heading into the year ahead.

What do a vegan cookbook author and a New Yorker cartoonist have in common? More than you might think! Listen as Nava Atlas and The Bob join forces in a conversation that is creative, cozy, and yes, a little bit purrfect.

Nava is a longtime vegan author and illustrator, while Bob Eckstein is a celebrated cartoonist whose work you have almost certainly seen. Together, they've created the charming illustrated book Inspired by Cats: Writers and Their Mews(es). In this episode, we talk about how this unexpected partnership came together, why it actually makes perfect sense, and how cats, creativity, and friendship weave through their work.

Of course, we also talk about food! Nava shares a warming and fun Vegan Taco Soup from her cookbook Vegan Soups and Stews for All Seasons, and Bob talks about one of his favorite Nava recipes, a bright and satisfying Pear Couscous Salad. It's a conversation about inspiration, collaboration, cats, and good food, all on the Recipe of the Day podcast this week.

English Trifle with Jenni Field

christine@cookthestory.com (M.C.P. Productions) — Sat, 13 Dec 2025 10:30:00 +0000

I threw my back out last week, so this episode isn't the one I thought I'd make. I planned to talk about creative pivots and following new sparks of inspiration, but instead I found myself needing something simpler. Walks. Water. Rest. It turns out those basics can be their own kind of inspiration because they remind you what support really looks like.

This week I talk with Jenni Field of Pastry Chef Online. Jenni's been spending more time painting than baking, and her shift toward art feels like a reminder that listening to yourself matters, whether you're chasing a new idea or just trying to feel better in your body. We get into how interests evolve, why it's okay to follow the pull toward something different, and how small steps can spark momentum again.

If you're craving creativity or care or both, this conversation meets you right in that overlap.

Herbed Pumpkin Risotto with Jill Hough

christine@cookthestory.com (Jill Hough, Christine Pittman) — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 10:30:00 +0000

Support my small business and give a gift that truly feels personal this year. Since it's Small Business Saturday, I'm sharing the sweetest idea to surprise the home cook in your life. A full year of COOKforTWO for the cost of just ten months, only 99.99, and it even comes with an adorable carved wooden spoon so you have something to wrap and give on the day. It's thoughtful, useful, and supports a creator you love.

I'm also talking about a simple Italian themed dinner that's perfect when you have people coming over. This idea actually started in an email exchange with podcast-listener Sharon, and it turned into one of those easy meals that feels warm and inviting without asking much of you in the kitchen.

And then my guest today is my good friend and recipe developer extraordinaire, Jill Hough. She's sharing her Herbed Pumpkin Risotto, a dish that has become one of my go-tos at this time of year. She talks us through using a fresh pie pumpkin to make this delicious dish, and she tells us about her informative and helpful newsletter too.

It is a cozy, food filled episode with gifts, good ideas, and a truly delicious recipes you'll want to make as soon as possible.

Almond Croissant Shortbread Bars with Dee Rotman

christine@cookthestory.com (Dee Rotman, Christine Pittman) — Sat, 22 Nov 2025 10:30:00 +0000

A headline on Facebook grabbed my attention this week. It was from a big national grocery chain running a Thanksgiving promotion that feeds ten people for five dollars per person. It made me pause, partly because the idea is tempting, but also because it raised a few questions in my mind about scale, ingredients, and what we really want on our holiday tables. If you cook for a smaller group, or you are thinking creatively about Thanksgiving this year, I have thoughts to share!

Then I talk with today’s guest, Dee Rotman from deesweets.com. Dee focuses on helping people make impressive desserts without losing the whole day to the kitchen. She builds recipes that feel special but stay friendly for tight schedules. She also seriously loves almonds, which shows in the recipe she is sharing with us today. It's for Almond Croissant Cookie Bars that are inspired by those classic bakery almond croissants. Yum!

Cooking shouldn’t feel this hard anymore, and that’s exactly why COOKforTWO was born.

It’s about letting go of the pressure to cook like we used to and finding new rhythms that fit the lives we have now. And then I talk with Jill from @cookingupmemoriesinsta about her own different cooking shift. That ones about condensed soup, y'all. So many changes, but always tasty food. Listen now!

Honey Sesame Chicken with Christine McMichael

christine@cookthestory.com (Christine McMichael, Christine Pittman) — Sat, 8 Nov 2025 10:30:00 +0000

Big news is coming! I’m finally almost ready to share what I’ve been hinting at for months: my brand-new project, Cook for Two. It’s been such a joy building this, and we’re so close to launch that I can hardly keep it to myself. And so in today's episode, I blather on about it a lot. I'm so excited!

In this episode, I also chat with Christine McMichael from Jar of Lemons about her best tips for getting quick and easy dinners on the table, even with picky eaters in the mix. Christine shares how she makes mealtime simpler for her family while keeping things healthy and fun.

As I relistened to our conversation, I couldn’t help thinking about how that same “quick and easy” mindset connects to cooking for two, although the reasons behind the desire for ease are a little different. I'll also say that a big perk of cooking for two is fewer pickiness restrictions because the fewer people you're cooking for, the more you get to focus on what you love to eat, without all the compromises.

Beef Stroganoff with Becky Hadeed

christine@cookthestory.com (Christine Pittman, Becky Hadeed) — Sat, 4 Oct 2025 09:30:00 +0000

Soup for two isn’t always as simple as cutting everything in half. When you try to scale recipes down, you run into all kinds of little quirks, like half cans of beans, pasta that soaks up all your broth, or enough leftovers to feed an army when you only wanted dinner for two. In this episode, I share some of my own tips for making smaller-batch soups and recipes that truly work without waste.

Then I’m joined once again by one of my favorite food podcasters, Becky Hadeed, host of The Storied Recipe Podcast. Becky is such a thoughtful interviewer who goes deep into her guests’ food memories and passions. In our conversation, she shares one of her family’s all-time favorite dishes, beef stroganoff. and talks about why it holds a special place in her kitchen.

If you’ve ever struggled to scale recipes down, or if you just love hearing about the dishes that bring families together, this episode has something for you.

🔗 Here's Becky Hadeed's recipe for an easy beef stroganoff without mushrooms, and her podcast, The Storied Recipe Podcast.

Rommel Reyes' Surprise Recipe Of The Day

christine@cookthestory.com (Rommel Reyes, Christine Pittman) — Sat, 2 Aug 2025 09:30:00 +0000

Today I'm talking with special-diet pastry chef Rommel Reyes. We talk about the latest pastry trends he's spotted in Paris (like the viral Dubai chocolate bar) and his journey to discovering his own gluten and lactose intolerances. The rich dessert recipe he tells us about is super simple (only three ingredients!) but also classically elegant.

Rommel's Links:
Website: bakefree.net
Instagram: @rommel_bakefree
Cookbook: 15 Shades of Banana Bread
Recipe: Two-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse
Rommel's Chocolate Mousse recipe is below, but here's a link to his Triple Layer Vegan Chocolate Mousse CAKE!

Chocolate Mousse Recipe:
Ingredients:
Dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa content) - 1 part by weight
Heavy cream - 2 parts by weight (divided: 1 part for ganache, 1 part for whipping)

Instructions:
Make the ganache: Melt 1 part chocolate with 1 part heavy cream to create a ganache. Let it cool to 35-40°C (95-104°F).
Whip the cream: Whip the remaining 1 part heavy cream until it forms peaks.
Fold in two stages: First, fold half of the whipped cream into the cooled ganache until homogeneous. Then gently fold in the remaining whipped cream.
Chill: Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Variations:
For white or milk chocolate: Use 1.5 parts chocolate, 1 part heavy cream for ganache, 1 part whipped cream.
Serve with raspberries or crushed cookies layered in glasses.
Ratio to remember: For dark chocolate - 1:1:1 (chocolate:cream for ganache:whipped cream).

Today I'm talking with wine expert extraordinaire Jane Norrington. We talk about perfect spring cheese pairings and the fascinating world of wine certification. The recipe she tells us about is the ultimate refreshing summer cocktail that will make your patio gatherings feel like a European vacation!

Jane's Aperol Spritz Recipe

3 parts prosecco
2 parts Aperol
1 part soda water

It's a 3-2-1 recipe meaning you can make any amount, using the same recipe. For one person, you'd do 3 ounces prosecco, 2 ounces Aperol, and 1 ounce soda water. For 2 people, you'd do 6 ounces prosecco, 4 ounces Aperol, and 2 ounces soda water.

To make it, put ice into a large wine glass. Pour in the prosecco, Aperol, and soda water. Garnish with a wedge of orange.

Air Fryer Asparagus

christine@cookthestory.com (M.C.P. Productions) — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 09:30:00 +0000

Today's recipe is Air Fryer Asparagus.

24 stalks asparagus, trimmed
8 slices medium-thick bacon

Divide the asparagus into 8 bundles with 3 stalks each.
Wrap one slice of bacon around each bundle, wrapping as evenly as possible so the bacon doesn’t overlap too much.
Arrange the asparagus bundles in a single layer in the basket of your air fryer, putting the loose end of the bacon facing down to help keep it from unraveling. Work in batches if necessary.
Fry at 390°F for 10 minutes.
Use tongs to carefully remove the bacon-wrapped asparagus from the air fryer and place it on a plate lined with a paper towel. As with pan-fried bacon, it will continue to crisp as it cools.

Instant Pot Chicken and Dumplings

christine@cookthestory.com (M.C.P. Productions) — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 09:30:00 +0000

Today's recipe is Instant Pot Chicken and Dumplings.

3 Tbsp. butter
3 medium carrots, diced
3 celery stalks, diced
1 medium onion, diced
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 and ½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. poultry seasoning*
2 cups chicken stock
1 (8-count) pkg. refrigerator biscuit dough
½ cup heavy cream
¾ cup frozen peas

Select the Sauté button on the Instant Pot to preheat.
When “Hot” is displayed on the Instant Pot, add butter, carrots, celery, onions, chicken, salt, and poultry seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Press Cancel button.
Stir in chicken stock. Place lid on Instant Pot and lock in place. Point valve to Sealing. Press the Pressure Cook button and set time for 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, remove dough from package. Tear each biscuit in half to create two thin circles. Cut each circle into quarters and set aside.
Switch valve to Venting to quick-release pressure. Press the Cancel button, then press the Sauté button. Bring to boiling.
Remove lid and stir in cream. Drop in biscuit pieces, stir to distribute. Cook, stirring occasionally, until biscuits puff, are cooked through, and sauce is thickened, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Stir in peas and let heat through for 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately.

Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage

christine@cookthestory.com (M.C.P. Productions) — Sun, 16 Mar 2025 09:30:00 +0000

Today's recipe is Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage.

1 Tbsp. whole peppercorn
1 Tbsp. whole allspice
1 Tbsp. whole caraway seeds
4 bay leaves
¾ tsp. salt
1 and ¼ cup chicken stock
1 (3-4 lb.) Corned Beef Brisket
2 Tbsp. grainy mustard
1 and ½ lb. small waxy potatoes
1 large head green cabbage, cut into 6 wedges
9 large carrots, peeled, trimmed to fit Instant Pot

Add peppercorns, allspice, caraway, bay leaves, salt, and chicken stock to the Instant Pot and place rack.
Remove brisket from package, reserve spice packet*. Under a slow-running faucet (to prevent splashing), rinse corned beef to remove any brine, pat dry.
Transfer corned beef to Instant Pot rack, fat side up. Spread mustard on top of corned beef, sprinkle contents of spice packet on top of mustard.
Place lid on pot, lock in place. Set the valve to Sealing. Select the Pressure Cook button and set the timer for 1 hour.** After cook time is complete, turn off unit, let stand 10 minutes. Move valve to Venting to release any remaining pressure.
Remove lid. Carefully lift rack with corned beef out of Instant Pot. Transfer corned beef to a cutting board; let stand.
Add potatoes, cabbage, and carrots to the Instant Pot. Place lid on pot, lock in place. Set the valve to Sealing. Select the Pressure Cook button and set timer for 4 minutes. After cook time is complete, turn off unit. Move valve to Venting to release pressure. Transfer vegetables to a serving platter.
Slice corned beef against the grain, transfer to platter with vegetables. Ladle some of the cooking liquid over the corned beef and vegetables before serving.

*Corned beef briskets often come with a small spice packet. If the brisket you are using for this recipe does not have a spice packet, complete step 3 without adding the spice packet.
**For corned beef that can be shredded, increase the Instant Pot cook time to 75 minutes.

Sena Wheeler's Surprise Recipe Of The Day

christine@cookthestory.com (Christine Pittman, Sena Wheeler) — Sat, 15 Mar 2025 09:30:00 +0000

Today I'm talking with Sena Wheeler of Sena Sea Wild Alaskan Fish. Sena answers all my questions about the seasonality of fish, and we drill down on the fresh vs. frozen fish debate. The recipe she tells us about is a super-easy one that uses a lesser-known part of the halibut and is also perfect for shrimp if you don't have halibut on hand.

Today I'm talking with Sharla Kostelyk from FreezerMeals101.com. Sharla tells us her "why" for adopting this style of cooking and starting a blog about it. This conversation is a real revelation because I didn't realize exactly what freezer meals were before, and now I'm in love! Do you know what they are? There's a chance you'll be surprised! The recipe she tells us about is a freezer meal (duh!) that's extremely easy and flavorful and can be made using just one pan.

Nava Atlas' Surprise Recipe Of The Day

christine@cookthestory.com (Nava Atlas, Christine Pittman) — Sat, 4 Jan 2025 10:30:00 +0000

Today I'm chatting with one of the OG Vegetarian/Vegan cookbook authors, Nava Atlas, who was publishing cookbooks on the subject WAY before eating plant-based was popular. We talk about her amazing career in the plant-based cookbook space, and she tells us about the unusual life of her most popular cookbook, Vegan Soups and Stews For All Seasons, which is now in its fully-revised 5th edition. The recipe Nava tells us about is, of course, a vegan soup that is both nourishing and colorful.

Ashley Covelli's Surprise Recipe Of The Day

christine@cookthestory.com (Ashley Covelli, Christine Pittman) — Sat, 2 Nov 2024 09:30:00 +0000

This week I'm talking with Ashley Covelli, the blogger behind Big Flavors From A Tiny Kitchen. Ashely cooks in a tiny kitchen in real life and we talk about her strategies for being efficient in a small space. We also talk about her podcast, Passing The Plate, that she started with her friend who is a genealogy researcher where they talk about food, traditions, and the connections they create. The recipe she tells us about is a sheet pan meal that takes the idea of a traditional (and time consuming) Persian recipe from her father but makes it doable on a busy weeknight.

Lisa Lotts' Surprise Recipe Of The Day

christine@cookthestory.com (Lisa Lotts, Christine Pittman) — Sat, 7 Sep 2024 09:30:00 +0000

This week things are getting zesty with my guest, Lisa Lotts from the food blog Garlic & Zest. We talk about Lisa's passion for all kinds of citrus zest and she tells us about a lesser known citrus fruit. The recipe she tells us about does not actually use citrus zest, but it has quickly become one of my favorite seafood recipes to make (I've made it two times in the last 3 weeks!).

Anja Eckert's Surprise Recipe Of The Day

christine@cookthestory.com (Anja Eckert, Christine Pittman) — Sat, 27 Jul 2024 09:30:00 +0000

Today I'm talking with homesteading blogger and YouTube creator Anja Eckert. Anja's blog and YouTube channel (both called Our Gabled Home) document her homesteading way of life, which is inspired by her German grandparents. We talk about how her quest for recreating and sharing the German food she was longing for has been a great way to permanently document her family recipes. The surprise recipe she shares with us is a German classic that, while complicated, is definitely worth the effort.

Vegan Bolognese

christine@cookthestory.com (M.C.P. Productions) — Mon, 17 Jun 2024 09:30:00 +0000

Today's recipe is Vegan Bolognese.

1 cup dried brown or green lentils OR 2 cups canned lentils, rinsed
4 cloves garlic, one whole and 3 minced, divided
1 bay leaf
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
2 ribs celery, diced
2 carrots, peeled and diced
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. kosher salt
¼ tsp. red pepper flakes
2 (28-oz.) cans whole tomatoes with their juices
2 tsp. sugar
1 pound spaghetti

If starting with dried lentils, rinse the lentils in a fine-mesh colander to remove any dust or debris. Place the rinsed lentils in a medium saucepan and cover with 3 cups cold water. Add the whole clove of garlic, peeled, and the bay leaf. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Turn the heat down to low, cover the pan and simmer until the lentils are tender, but still holding their shape, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the lentils and allow them to cool. (May be done up to one day in advance.)
Make the sauce: heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the celery and carrots and sauté for an additional 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic, oregano, salt, and red pepper flakes and stir to combine. Sauté an additional minute, just until fragrant.
Add the canned tomatoes with their juices, breaking up the tomatoes with your fingers or a wooden spoon, and sugar. Bring the sauce to a boil over high heat.
Then, reduce the heat and simmer until slightly thickened and reduced, about 20 minutes.
While the sauce is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook to al dente according to the package directions. Drain.
Add 2 cups of the cooked lentils (or the drained and rinsed canned lentils) to the tomato sauce and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt if necessary. Simmer just until the lentils are heated through.
To serve, divide the spaghetti evenly among four plates or pasta bowls. Top with the tomato-and-lentil sauce. Garnish with torn or sliced basil leaves. Serve immediately.

Pour-Over Veggie Pasta

christine@cookthestory.com (M.C.P. Productions) — Mon, 3 Jun 2024 09:30:00 +0000

Today's recipe is Pour-Over Veggie Pasta.

1 lb. dry spaghetti
10 oz. cherry tomatoes, roughly chopped
2 large zucchini, finely diced
¾ cup olive oil
½ small onion, minced
6 large garlic cloves, minced
4 sprigs fresh oregano (or ½ tsp. dried)
½ tsp. salt

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook spaghetti according to package directions, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium skillet add olive oil, onion, garlic, oregano, and salt. Warm over low heat. Remove from heat when oil begins to bubble and simmer, about 3 minutes.
In the bottom of a colander large enough to drain pasta, add the tomatoes and zucchini. Place colander in clean sink.
When pasta is cooked to your liking, pour it and the hot cooking water into colander over the veggies. Allow the water to drain over and past the veggies, and out of the colander, and then down the drain. The hot pasta will remain above the veggies. Let stand 1 minute.
Transfer pasta and vegetables to serving bowl or platter. Pour olive oil mixture over pasta, toss to coat. Serve warm.
