| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Christopher Kimble from Milk Street. You know, for most of my career |
| 0:03.5 | I thought the cooking was well about mastering technique, but since I found that Milk Street in 2016 |
| 0:10.5 | have come to understand the cooking is about something a lot more important. |
| 0:14.5 | Seeing the kitchen through new eyes through the experience and knowledge of home cooks from all around the world. |
| 0:20.5 | For example, Pesto with lemon zest and almonds from Amalfi, Italy, a no-need pour in the pan pizza, |
| 0:27.0 | a one-bowl gluten-free Spanish almond cake, a crispy light falafel from the streets of Aman Jordan. |
| 0:33.2 | Here in the Milk Street kitchen we bring you a new repertoire of easy bowl recipes that will revolutionize |
| 0:39.7 | the way you cook and think about food. So if you want to change the way you cook, the way I have, |

| 1:34.3 | We ask about Julia Child's favorite dish, a steam pot chicken. That was when she was living in Yunnan |
| 1:39.3 | during World War II. We also discuss Yunnan's most celebrated soup. Yunnan's most famous dish is |
| 1:46.5 | crossing the bridge rice noodles. And the version of it that you find in Yunnan in the city of |
| 1:51.9 | Monsa, where it's originally from, is just so phenomenally good. It takes hours and hours and days |
| 1:58.2 | and days to get a broth as flavorful as the broth that they are making. Also coming up, we present a |
