Alaska Airlines has teamed up with Hawaiian Airlines to create new nonstop international flights.

Go to Alaskaair.com or Hawaiian Airlines.com and I'll tell you more details later in the show.

I'm Rachel Bell and this is your last meal.

The show where celebrities share stories about the foods they love most,

and we dig into the history, culture, and science of those meals with experts from around the world.

Today on the program, we're doing something a little bit different.

In honor of the release of the new Apple TV show Lessons and Chemistry, I'm chatting with the show's food consultant, Courtney McBroom.

I really feel like lasagna could be its own character in the show. It needs its own credit.

Courtney is a chef, cookbook author, and the former culinary director of Milkbar in New York City.

She co-authored many Milkbar dessert cookbooks with its founder, Christina Tosi, who has also been on this show, and her food writing and recipes have been featured in places like food and wine, vice, GQ, and in style.

There is quite a bit of food in lessons in chemistry, and Courtney had her hands in all of it,

deciding which dishes to feature on screen, cooking and styling the food on set, and her hands are literally in the show.

We'll talk more about that later.

I read Lessons and Chemistry earlier this summer, and it was by far my favorite book I read

all year, So I was so

thrilled when I was invited to chat with Courtney about the new show when she rolled through Seattle.

How did you get this cool job?

I'm a very lucky girl.

I'm good friends with Bree Larson, and she is aware that I'm obsessed with vintage cookbooks.

I have a huge collection, and she called me one day.

She was like, Courtney, I am doing this TV show.
