Hey prooflessners, it's Bridget here, and today I am joined by Kristen McLory.

Now she's a New York Times best-selling author and she's the face behind Food 52's genius recipes.

I know that you all know about this. Now she's here with us today and she's going to talk about her new

podcast, The Genius Recipe Tapes.

Hey, Kristen, welcome.

Hi, Bridget, so good to see you.

You too.

Good to hear you and see you.

So why don't you tell us a little bit

about the whole Genius

Recipe franchise? Sure, so I started writing the Genius

Recipes column at Food 52 in 2011, a long time ago, and then just over the years it's sort of expanded and

grown new tentacles and become a lot of other things to a cookbook series weekly

newsletter videos a cookbook series, weekly newsletter, videos, and then most recently a podcast.

And the whole idea behind everything that we do with Genius recipes is that these are the

recipes that will change the way you cook. That's been

the tagline for almost 10 years now. So they're the recipes handed down from

what I've called food luminaries, people who have spent their careers working in food, who have stumbled

on one way or another through like hot pursuit of a new idea or just accidentally discovering

something, something that is genius and that once they

cooked it they needed to share it with the world and once we cook it we need to

tell everyone call our mom email our friends tell everyone this is the way that I will do X from now on.
