This is the Sporkful.

It's not for foodies, it's for eaters.

I'm Dan Pashman.

Each week on our show, we obsess about food

to learn more about people,

and we're coming to you live

from the Samsung Test Kitchen

in New York City.

We're here in this beautiful space surrounded by gleaming Samsung appliances, some of which we're going to be using in just a few minutes.

I don't think in the 15-year history of the sporkful we've ever done live cooking while taping in front of an audience. So it's exciting. It's going to be super fun. A lot of people call my guest the cookbook dula because he's helped to birth nearly 20

cookbooks, although often behind the scenes. He's worked with famous chefs, celebrities, and

influencers as a co-author and ghostwriter. So I can tell you that whether or not you know his name, you've almost definitely seen his work.

Now he's out with his first ever cookbook all his own, where his name is the one in big letters on the cover.

It's called What Can I Bring Recipes to Help You Live Your Guest Life?

Please welcome Casey Alsace.

What a welcome. I know. Very good, huh. What can I bring? Is the cookbook, what's it about? Yeah. So the question we all have to ask, which is a stressful

question. I wrote a cookbook that is 75 answers to that question with dips, drinks, salads, and desserts, because I think

that's the thing we get asked to bring the most. It's so useful, but also creative. That's what I love

about. This is an issue. Yeah. And we're going to be cooking two dishes from the cookbook tonight.
