MUSIC
Hi, we’re Deb Perelman (Smitten Kitchen) and J. Kenji López-Alt (Serious Eats, The Food Lab, The Wok). We’re professional home cooks, which means we can - and will - make the same meal 57 times in a row on the quest for the perfect recipe. Is it crazy? For us, no, because we do this for a living. But for you? Yes, probably. Which is why you should listen to The Recipe with Kenji and Deb. You'll hear us talk about what goes into writing our recipes — the techniques we test, the ingredients we taste — so that you can be on your way to creating your own perfect recipe. Whether you're cooking meatloaf, pancakes, or chicken soup in all its forms, we got you, and you've got this. The Recipe with Kenji and Deb is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX, a network of independent and listener-supported podcasts. Discover audio with vision at radiotopia.fm.

So much left to learn

Required listening. I am a norm-size athletic college professor teaching human anatomy and physical therapy. I have been looking for a better understanding and language to talk about body size. This podcast unlocked both my implicit biases about weight and suppressed hurt being called “sturdy” and “chub rub”. I recommend for EVERYONE who wants to just think a little harder about how we view bodies, health, and our place in both!
Required listening, for ALL sizes

This is absolutely required listening. It is mind-blowing. If you are plus-size, DO NOT MISS IT. I’ve never felt so understood and validated and among good company. If you are straight-size, DO NOT MISS IT. This is what ALL your fat friends are experiencing and haven’t been able to get you to understand, and desperately wish you understood. Do you think you already get it and are understanding? You almost definitely do not. Listen. Your jaw will drop.
Captures so much

The episode with the doctor was particularly memorable. I hope Ronald never went to that guy again.
