For this episode, we’re finding new ways to honor old Thanksgiving traditions. But one thing is true forever: kids just eat rolls. Lees meer

2 Babka 2 Furious
26 september 2025 · 59 min
This episode was recorded live in San Francisco at the Sydney Goldstein Theater, as part of Samin’s Good Things book tour! It was hosted by City Arts & Lectures, and recorded by KQED. There’s a real spirit of togetherness and gathering in Good Things, so getting together in person with 1,700 people felt like a great way to talk about Samin’s food ideas in the cookbook—and answer listener questions that came from folks in the Bay Area!

Eight more episodes are coming soon, so please send your cooking questions to alittlehomecooking@gmail.com, and make sure you're subscribed to this feed! Lees meer

This episode is dedicated to Kanta Hirway, Hrishi’s mom. Without her incredible home cooking and mischievous sense of humor, this podcast (and Hrishi) would have never been. Her Thanksgiving mango pie was the connection point for Samin and Hrishi’s first collaboration, and we hope you’ll try making it in her honor. Words cannot express how much she will be missed, but she expressed her love through food, anyway—so eat well and take care of each other
