Braised & Confused

Braised & Confused

By Katelyn Edelson

I love food. Cooking it, eating it, asking questions about it. Like, where did braising come from? Or, when did knife techniques become important in cooking? And how does popcorn work??

In each episode, I'll talk with a food-loving friend or family member about a food style, cooking technique or single ingredient for less than 10 minutes. This is a party-friendly canape of conversation about what makes food incredible.

Episode Five: Pierogi

There are few things in the culinary world that I love more than the sacred pierogi, pan-fried in (a lot) of butter. Here to discuss these starchy dumplings is none other than my mother, a second-gen Polish gem. Na Zdrowie and dig in.

Plus: fun food phobias!

*HOT TIP: This ep starts with an ad, read by me, for anchor.fm. Anchor is the creation tool I use to make this podcast. Any $$ made from it will go to Black Feminist Project's operating budget, via their GoFundMe. Please share!

**AND A DEDICATION: My mom and I recorded this episode in May, shortly before my grandma Eleanor (a pierogi queen) got sick with COVID-19. At 99 years old, she beat the virus but passed away in early July. So, this episode (a regular Polish pride fest) is all for her
