Summary

This episode was recorded live in San Francisco at the Sydney Goldstein Theater, as part of Samin’s Good Things book tour! It was hosted by City Arts & Lectures, and recorded by KQED. There’s a real spirit of togetherness and gathering in Good Things, so getting together in person with 1,700 people felt like a great way to talk about Samin’s food ideas in the cookbook—and answer listener questions that came from folks in the Bay Area!
