Summary

Welcome to HOOVERING, the podcast about eating. Host, Jessica Fostekew (Guilty Feminist, Motherland) has a frank conversation with an interesting person about gobbling; guzzling; nibbling; scoffing; devouring and wolfing all up… or if you will, hoovering.

In this episode, comedian Dana Alexander makes me a beautiful lunch and I rustle up some vegan brownies to wolf down afterwards. Dana’s really into her cooking and we get deeply detailed about her recipes. You say cilantro, I say coriander. Also I accidentally do something very rude with salt.

Dana’s recipe is given out loud in the podcast and here’s a link to the vegan fudge brownies I made.

It's so easy girl, it is basically flour and water, right?
