0:00.0	Hi there, it's Rachel Hampton. Friends, I don't know about you, but with inflation and grocery
0:04.9	prices what they are, I am really looking to up my home cooking game this year. You and me,
0:11.3	this is it. This is the year we're going to become the home cooks we are meant to be. And to help us
0:17.3	on our culinary journey, I cannot recommend enough one of our newer Radiotopia shows, The Recipe, with Kenji and Deb.
0:24.9	Kinji and Deb, of course, are two of the best home cooks alive.
0:29.9	Between Kenji's YouTube, Deb's iconic blogs, Min Kitchen, and seven New York Times best-selling cookbooks between them, they have helped literally
0:39.5	millions of people eat better at home and have fun while doing it. In each episode,
0:44.5	Kenji and Deb talk about the essential ingredients and techniques of a beloved everyday dish,
0:50.2	the little things that really make a dish sing. Beware, they have very different styles,

1:45.9	dark times and we here at the normal gossip team thought y'all deserved some little between
1:50.5	season treats to tide you over, but soon normal, normal gospel return. We're in the middle of
1:56.7	production. We're going to start recording soon, and we've got some incredible stories that I
2:01.1	cannot wait for y'all to hear. To that end, second bit of housekeeping, we had a season
2:07.1	eight premiere day. The next season of Normal Gossip will premiere on Wednesday, April 9th,
2:13.3	2025. Mark your calendars, babes, with a big fat star. And last bit of housekeeping, I promise this
