Are you kidding me? Did you just call Lynn because you wanted to talk to us?

I feel like we're being punked.

Welcome back, Dinner SOS listeners and future collars.

I'm Chris Morocco, Food Director of Bon Appetite and Epicurious.

If it's your first time listening to this show, here's how it works.

Each week, one listener brings us a dinner problem.

And all work with one of our editors or someone from our incredible test kitchen to try and solve it.

No problem is too big or too small.

And while in the past we've gone maximalist, this week we're going small.

Listener Aruna is an incredibly accomplished cook, but she's terrified of deep frying at home.

So Test Kitchen Coordinator Inez Angiano and I are on the case.

We'll each give Aruna a recipe, but she can only choose one.

But I'm so crazy it just might work.

Two solutions, but our caller only needs one.

That's this week on Dinner SOS.

First up, we hear from Aruna.

Like I mentioned, our caller Aruna is actually quite an experienced cook.

After a long career in business, she retired and decided to spend her time perfecting her culinary skills.

And she didn't take just any old route to do so.

She trained at the court on blue, the famous culinary school in Paris.

But for all her experience, the one thing that scares me like you can't believe is frying in my kitchen.

The thought of a big bad of oil getting hotter and hotter and sort of the inability to control the whole situation really frightens me.
