Cauli + Flower
October 08, 2019 04:00 - 48 minutes - 33.5 MBOur mystery ingredient for October is (~drumroll~): cauliflower! We love this lil guy, and so does Alison Roman, who penned both of our recipes for this week. Marie made Creamy Cauliflower and Onion Gratin from Roman's forthcoming second book, Nothing Fancy, and Alissa made Cumin-Roasted Cauliflower with Pine Nuts and Dates. Tune in to hear the deets!
Apple + Cake
October 02, 2019 02:00 - 1 hour - 43.6 MBThis week's ep is a fall thunderdome: apple cake v. apple cake! Claire Saffitz v. Julia Turshen! Fancy v. Unfussy! Whipped cream v. CC frosting! Who will win? Only time will tell. Also, this episode marks a full rotation in our new format. Do you love or do you love??? (Options other than blind adoration will not be considered). Keep it EZ, y'all!
Soba + Coco
September 24, 2019 04:00 - 50 minutes - 34.7 MBWe're back with our first of our monthly episodes cooked from Bon Appetit Magazine. This week we cooked two recipes you all voted for (~follow us on insta~) from the September issue: Coconut Milk-Braised Chicken Legs and Soba Noodles with Crispy Kale. Hear how they fared on the ep!
Chrissy + Crispy + Fishy
September 17, 2019 04:00 - 57 minutes - 39.7 MBSorry about that title...we simply HAD to lead with the woman of the hour: Chrissy Teigen! This week we're cooking out of Cravings. MM whipped up the Chinese Chicken Salad with Crispy Wontons. AA delivered the viral Sweet & Salty Coconut Rice AND (a twofer! She couldn't help herself) the Herby, Lemony, Garlicky Roasted Whole Fish, which had us wondering if Chrissy Teigs was getting paid by the word. But we digress. Tune in for a joy-filled episode that might just have you feeling some cravin...
Tomatoes + Tomatoes
September 10, 2019 04:00 - 1 hour - 42.2 MBWe're baaaaack! It's Szn 2 and also tomato szn--and we think that this might be the best seasonal combo of all time, but you can be the judge of that. Tune in to hear all about what's changed on the pod (spoiler: a lot) and what we've been up to all summer. Don't worry, we're still answering the most burning question of our generation: how easy IS that?
Ultimate + Salad
April 09, 2019 04:00 - 42 minutes - 19.3 MBThis week we continued on our lunch journey with Ina's Ultimate Grilled Cheese and a Middle Eastern Vegetable Salad. Tune in for some uncharacteristically earnest discussion about food and culture and some very, very characteristically hot takes on grilled cheeses.
Fontina + Tuna
April 02, 2019 04:00 - 40 minutes - 18.7 MBServing u Tuna & Hummus Sammies and Baked Fontina, because nothing says 'lunch' like a skillet of hot cheese? See if this week's fare keeps us going on our streak of actually enjoying what we're making out here. Fingers crossed.
Panzanella + Frittata
March 26, 2019 04:00 - 29 minutes - 13.7 MBWow guys we are LOVING LUNCH!!!! We're making Greek Panzanella + Roasted Vegetable Frittata. Tune in to hear how it all went down, and if lunch is living up to the hype. Maybe it's our favorite section so far???
Shrimp + Lobster
March 19, 2019 04:00 - 32 minutes - 14.9 MBThis week it's LUNCH TIME, BABY! We're making Roasted Shrimp Salad & Lobster and Shells. If you have a shellfish allergy...stay away! JK come back you can't get anaphylactic from a podcast (we think). Tune in to hear if we achieved peak Hamptons bliss with these first two items on the How Easy is That lunch menu.
Tartare + Ricotta
March 12, 2019 04:00 - 44 minutes - 20.4 MBOur final starters ep (for now) features Herbed Ricotta Bruschettas which are not bruschettas and Fresh Salmon Tartare which is not tartare. "What's in a name?" <-- Ina, probably. Check out the ep to learn how to make ricotta from scratch (it's...easy???) and hear Marie reach a fury that can finally hang with Alissa's.
Ranch + Soppressata
March 05, 2019 05:00 - 40 minutes - 18.6 MBThis week we've got high hopes for our recipes: Buttermilk Ranch Dressing with Bibb Lettuce and Soppressata & Cheese in Puff Pastry.

Watermelon + Artichoke

Tune in to hear us roast these roasted artichokes and drag this salad through the mud. We really went for it!
Bisque + Celery
February 19, 2019 05:00 - 43 minutes - 20 MBThe gals are diving into more Starters today! Namely French Mussel Bisque + Celery & Parmesan Salad. Surprisingly chill episode, considering we've never cooked mussels before. More on that in the ep..... Follow along to see if we are still enjoying the Starters??

Crème + Crostini
February 05, 2019 05:00 - 41 minutes - 18.8 MBIt's the last episode of the cocktails section, baby! It's a classic combo (not classic) of Crostini with Tuna Tapenade and Coeur à la Crème, the nature of which, tbh, we still don't fully understand. Tune in to hear about our first full fledged food FAIL ~gasp~.
Stilton + Mozz
January 29, 2019 05:00 - 46 minutes - 21.2 MBJoin us for a battle of the cheeses that truly rocked us to our VERY CORE. We make Stilton & Walnut Crackers and Grilled Bread with Prosciutto (and smoked mozzarella, weird), complete with existential cracker vs. cookie crisis and attempting to grill in a blizzard! There were odors, tears, and voluntary faceplants into snowdrifts. Buckle up, folks. It ain't easy being easy.
