Do you love home cooking but hunger for better recipes that help you deliver quick and delicious meals to your dinner table? Two former personal chefs turned best friends share their expertise with each other and you! Kari and Sonya have been inspiring each other in the kitchen for over 15 years by swapping recipes, tips, and trade secrets in the pursuit of better home cooking. FOOD FRIENDS is a bi-weekly podcast inspiring home cooks to try new dishes in the kitchen by sharing trusted recipes, tips, and friendship. Every Tuesday, each host delivers 3 unique solutions to seasonal home cooking, like: how to make craveable soups with your farmers market haul, the easiest one-pot meals for busy nights, or what to do with leftover rotisserie chicken. On Thursdays, we serve up a pint-sized chat about our “Best Bite” of the week, pantry essentials we can’t live without, and more. Previous guests include Seth & Lauren Rogen, actor Randall Park & writer/director Evan Goldberg, recipe developer Justine Doiron, #1 Food & Beverage Substacker Caroline Chambers, and more.

  • 338 - Episode 13: What’s the best pizza? From home cooking to restaurants we explore our FAVORITE food!

    This week’s episode answers an essential question: what’s the best pizza? You may be relieved to hear that the answer is a very loud “ALL OF THEM!” We reminisce about the pizzas of our childhood, the slices that we’ve enjoyed together, and the pizza memories that we hold in our hearts, plus a few of the ways we love to make pizza at home.   Our conversation explores pizza in its many forms: from cracker-y thin crusts and chewy sourdough slices to Sicilian + Chicago deep dish, from a classic cheese to a pie piled high with toppings. We embrace the notion that almost anything can serve as a pizza canvas: a bagel, an English muffin - even matzo! And we’ll share some of our favorite pairings for pizza dinners. We invite you to share your favorite pie and what you like about it, or maybe tell us about your favorite FOOD FRIEND that you wish you could have a slice with right NOW! *** Links to recipes from this week’s show: Pizzeria Mozza, Los Angeles, CA  Gjelina Takeaway, Venice CA  Kari’s Midwest favorites: Gumby’s in Champagne-Urbana, IL, Mario’s Pizza in Pontiac, IL, and Monical’s Pizza, Fairbury, IL  Sonya’s Northwest favorites: Scottie’s Pizza Parlor, Portland OR, Ken’s Artisan Pizza, Portland, OR, and from back in the day, Pagliacci Pizza in Seattle We love hearing from you — follow us on Instagram @foodfriendspod, or drop us a line at foodfriendspod@gmail.com!

  • 336 - Episode 11: Episode 11: When home cooking is your job: Two different paths to becoming a personal chef!

    After fifteen years of friendship and collaboration, we’re finally asking each other the question: how did you get your first job as a private chef? This conversation traces each of our own unique culinary paths back to their humble beginnings cooking in homes across Los Angeles. We have no idea what took us so long to have this conversation, but are excited to discover so many unexpected similarities, including one that might be as surprising to you as it is to us! We’re also sharing some of the dishes that our clients asked us to make again and again, which we’re STILL cooking for our families and friends. This conversation really shows us that no matter how long you’ve known a friend, there’s always more to discover. *** Links to recipes from this week’s show: Blueberry Pudding Cake from Gourmet Magazine Nobu’s Miso-Marinated Black Cod via Kathryn Hill at TheKitchn  Mark Bittman’s Vegetable Soup  Dorie Greenspan’s Paris Mushroom Soup Ruth Reichl’s memoirs: Tender at the Bone and Garlic and Sapphires One of Tyler Florence’s Flourless Chocolate Cake  recipes Sonya’s Turkey Chili!

  • 335 - Episode 10: Cooking our favorite meatless meals at home — celebrating veggies in 10 delicious recipes!

    This week we’re exploring our favorite meatless meals that are flavorful, easy, and exciting. These veggie-centric dishes include several one-pot meals, a deconstructed lasagna, and the “casserole” we both can’t stop making. We’ll also share a few surprising ways to use up that cauliflower! While we’re both fans of starting our week with a vegetarian dinner, we also don’t have any hard and fast rules about what day or time it needs to happen. This conversation inspired us both to get back into the kitchen and cook up all our favorite vegetable mains! *** Links to recipes from this week’s show: Our favorite Farro + Cauliflower Parmesan, by Sarah Digregorio for The New York Times  Bon Appetit’s Whole Eggplant Parmesan by Dawn Perry Priya Krishna and Ritu Krishna's Tomato Rice with Crispy Cheddar for The New York Times  Anna Thomas’ Love Soup cookbook, and her “beans + greens” recipe Smitten Kitchen’s  Pizza Beans  Heidi Swanson’s Baked Quinoa Patties  Fly by Jing and Hot Mama Smoky Coffee Chili Oil  Sonya’s Plov, while not meatless, you can modify it by omitting the meat or substituting it with your favorite vegetable or legume

  • 334 - Episode 09: Three memorable dishes of 2022! From home cooking victories to restaurant revelations, we share our favorite meals and how to make them at home

    From intimate dinners to huge potlucks, this week we reflect on our favorite dishes of 2022. These stand-out food moments made the cut, not because of their ingredients, but because of the special FOOD FRIENDS we shared them with and where we ate them. We are inspired by our friends’ beautiful cooking, insightful questions, and courageous projects that continue to expand the ways that we eat, cook, and talk about food.   We’re so glad you’ve joined us here this year; we love sharing these conversations with you, and we appreciate all the feedback we’ve received from your reflections.  Thank you! We are going to take a break for a couple of weeks, and can’t wait to restart the conversation in 2023.  Happy holidays and happy new year! *** Links to recipes from this week’s show: Diane Yen’s “Self Care Carbonara” reel on IG inspired Kari Simply Recipes’ Braised Leeks Sonya’s Apple & Honey Ruffle Milk Pie recipe @ramenasayswow’s Crinkle Cake
