Vermouth-Making Adventures, Tacos are a Cooking Style, and the Best Food Media

January 04, 2021

We get to know Scott better on this sixth episode of Foodie Buddies. In a format called “3x3,” Kelly interviews Scott by asking him about 3 themes, and Scott gives 3 answers per theme (for all you math geeks out there, that’s 9 topics total :) ).

Scott reflects on his top 3 standout cooking memories, including favorite meals with friends and a liquor-loving adventure in vermouth. He shares his 3 favorite styles of cooking — and, yes, tacos IS a style of cooking — and his 3 food-related media recommendations.

Kelly and Scott also introduce a brand new segment: tip du jour. We’ll provide a tip for cooking, kitchen organization, or nutrition at the beginning of each (some?) episode that you can apply for easier and more enjoyable kitchen moments.
