Lessons In Chemistry’s Courtney McBroom on 1950s Food & Brie Larson’s Cooking

Cooking author and chef Courtney McBroom joins Kyle Meredith to talk about the new Apple TV limited series, Lessons In Chemistry, which stars Brie Larson as a chemist in the 1950s constantly having to prove herself against a male-dominated field, eventually finding an easier route and use for her skills as the host of a cooking show. McBroom tells us about consulting on a show like this, what the food of the 1950s was generally defined by, and how Larson is also a great cook in real life. She also dissects Larson’s character arch from cooking with her scientific mind to eventually learning more about using her heart to connect with the people around her, as well as treating the food as a character and catalyst, and which decade she has the most fun emulating in her own cooking.
