Summary

Big News! Samin’s second cookbook, Good Things, will be published this September! You can preorder it here now!

And to celebrate the book release, Samin will be touring across North America this fall for a series of conversations with friends (and occasionally, Hrishi). Get your tickets now for these events, which promise to be full of laughter, connection, and deliciousness (unless Hrishi is moderating, in which case all we can promise is bickering and puns).

In the meantime, here’s a new episode with some questions about eggs, rice, saffron, and specialty condiments — plus a visit from our favorite food influencer, Sumesh Uncle.
