Hi, dinner SOS listeners. It's Chris Morocco. We're taking a break this week, but we will

be back next week with a whole slew of our regular episodes. We'll kick things off with

a caller who's a true beginner, but wants to impress friends, a mom who's looking for

help with freezer meals, and someone who's never, ever try to care it. Seriously.

In the meantime, we wanted to share an episode from our friends at American Public Media's

One Recipe. Host Jesse Sparks chats with chef cookbook author and head of the auto-lingy test

kitchen, Nur Murad. On the time she almost burnt down a kitchen and her one recipe, green

frittata with burnt eggplant and pomegranate salsa. Thanks for supporting our show by listening,

one recipe. I'm Nur Murad. I'm head of the auto-lingy test kitchen and co-author of auto-lingy

test kitchen shelf love and the more recent auto-lingy test kitchen extra good things. One of my

craziest cooking experiences was when I was 17, it was one of my first jobs working at the formula

one. There was a catering company there. German catering company and one of the races was for

Australian race car drivers who came to Bahrain. And so my chef was like, oh yeah, we obviously have

to feed these Australians Australian food. Like what? Anyway, so he imported kangaroo and crocodile.

I don't know how and that we were going to serve crocodile style fish and chips. Anyway,

so I was on deep fry station. I never deep fried anything in my life. And I had a chef's

towel on my waist and I'm deep frying this crocodile and my towel caught fire. And I almost sent

the whole thing on fire and everyone had to evacuate the building and then I ran and locked

myself in the toilet and cried my eyes out.
