I met Steve when he contacted me a few years ago to give me a tostonera that he made (which I then used in a video, below). He’s an accomplished woodworker who manages to make his YouTube tutorials both hilarious and educational. In this podcast, we talk about the best workbench setup for a small space; what he does with all those woodworking projects; how he manages three channels; woodworking scams; and can Steve build a house???

I’m chatting with my friend Lesley Fightmaster, of Fightmaster Yoga (yes, that is her real name — probably the first question I asked when I met her 😉 ) in this week’s podcast. Lesley and I met in person last year at VidCon, but we knew each other through the internet before then. She’s got a peaceful aura . . . I don’t usually talk like that but it’s the easiest way to explain her super chill, totally radical vibe. In this interview, we cover her introduction to yoga; how much we both love processed, frozen vegetarian corndogs; starting a YouTube channel by accident; what to do about kids who cuss and life-coping mechanisms for day-dreamers.

In this podcast, I spoke with sommelier Ryan Hess (co-owner of Vinoteque on Melrose) to get some tips on how to taste wine: what's the point of swirling it; how to smell wine; checking out the "legs" and determining what they tell you about the wine you're about to drink. We learn what is biodynamic wine; go over some wine terminology so that we can all talk about wine and sound smart; find out the difference between natural sulfites and synthetic sulfites; what modern wheat and grapes have in common.

Becky Selengut is my new food-person-crush because she has written my new favorite food book!&nbsp;How to Taste&nbsp;isn’t a cook book exactly, but it is definitely a&nbsp;food book. The book is organized into chapters about the six tastes (salt, acid, sweet, fat, bitter, umami) plus aromatics, bite, texture and “everything else”. With witty writing, serious research, taste experiments you can do at home, and a few choice recipes, each chapter is designed to help the reader figure out for themselves literally&nbsp;how to taste&nbsp;and thereby become a better cook. In this interview, we laugh a lot and also cover the super powers of salt, the best way to smell stuff, how salt can even make things&nbsp;smell more, and theorize about why butter is better to prevent sticking. We commiserate about our anxious dogs and the annoying trend of restaurants denying us salt shakers at the table. Go buy&nbsp;Becky’s new book! Do it! You will love it! (She has also written several other books that are also fantastic, such as&nbsp;Good Fish!) Find Becky&nbsp;Website&nbsp;|&nbsp;YouTube&nbsp;|&nbsp;Twitter&nbsp;|&nbsp;Classes&nbsp;|&nbsp;Books Show Notes at https://hilahcooking.com/how-to-taste-with-becky-selengut/ &nbsp;
