    With Mardi Gras on the horizon, how could we not take a quick trip down to Louisiana? Noah and Louisa talk about how to make the world's mightiest rice stew, and how not to accidentally make some other Cajun food instead.

  • Episode 110: Spinach Artichoke Dip
    Feb 9 2025

    Neither Noah nor Louisa is a fan of American football, but that's not going to stop them from digging into the usual Super Bowl spread—metaphorically or literally. This time, they get into what makes a food "Mediterranean," dunk a bit on the Ñational Football League (not a typo), and even manage to find a couple ways to elevate your typical dip.

  • Episode 109: Cauliflower
    Feb 2 2025

    For the third entry of our Brassicameron—the No Substitutions, Please take on the Cornetto Trilogy, obviously—we take on the fluffy white cabbage that's been with us since the Romans insisted on calling it by a thousand different names. Noah and Louisa talk about all the things you can do with that thing that looks like the ghost of broccoli.
