Summary

Why does everyone want to work with Julia Turshen? She's been known to turn book drafts in entire years before their due date — and also strongly believes there’s no such thing as too much bourbon. A noted cookbook collaborator and writer whose first title of her own, Small Victories, was published this fall, Julia is all about dispelling home cooking fears, making the task approachable, practical, and rewarding. Julia dropped by the Upsell studios to discuss the brilliance of Beyoncé, how to get chefs to talk, and what to do if your ice cream won’t freeze (step one: don't freak out). But first, Helen and Greg shoot the shit about how much they love the show "Cheers". Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
