Talking With My Mouth Full
"Talking With My Mouth Full" takes an unexpected--and often irreverent--look at the ways food and drink intersect our lives. In each episode, hosts David Leite and Amy Traverso and their guests question, laugh, and quibble their way through all manner of culinary conundrums, obsessions, fads, and fancies.

Yeah, we know. It sounds like a cheesy 1960s song. And speaking of the '60s, neither Amy nor producer Adam were alive at the time. Only David was.
And that got us thinking: What were the foods we loved, adored, and lived for through the stages of our lives? Everything from Pop-Tarts (David remembers when they didn't come frosted) to Amy's beloved chili crisps.

Today, we had the privilege of interviewing the multi-talented Nathan Myrvold, the renowned scientist, archeologist, physicist, photographer, chef, and author of the acclaimed Modernist Cusine books. Our discussion centered around his latest masterpiece, the comprehensive Modernist Bread at Home.

Today we're talking about one of our favorite foods (and maybe yours?): pasta! And our guest is the always charming, delightful, and generally mensch-y Dan Pashman. You may know Dan from his popular podcast, The Sporkful. You may know him as the inventor of his very own pasta shape, Cascatelli. Or you may know his new book, Anything's Pastable: 81 Inventive Pasta Recipes for Saucy People. In any case, you definitely wan to ...
In this episode, Amy and David tackle your toughest questions. Everything from why does garlic sometimes turn blue to why does pineapple make my mouth tingle to should I wash my chicken before cooking it?

Okay, this is a bit of a departure for Amy and David. What started out as a simple, straightforward interview about mindful eating with former ABC correspondent Dan Harris (now a leading teacher, practitioner, and best-seller author on meditation) became an engrossing discussion of self-defeating behavior and self-talk, the toxicity of body shaming, "Big T" and "little T" trauma, and ways out of the morass.
Tomorrow, Sunday, March 9, 2024, is the 96th Annual Academy Awards. In their inimitable way, Amy and David created their own show—The First Annual Talking with My Mouth Full Food Awards. In it, they nominated, voted, and named their own winners in categories such as Best Funny Food Scene, Best Food Opening Credits, Best Scene with Raw Eggs (or the Irving G. Thalberg Salmonella Award), and so much more. Put on your gown or tux and j...
We’re always looking for kitchen hacks and shortcuts to make your life easier. We’re not purists and we feel that most of the time, perfection isn’t worth the pursuit. However, there are some techniques, tools, and habits that really make your cooking better, and we’ve spent some time compiling a list of the fussy and annoying things that we feel are worth the trouble. Let us know if you agree!
Tony Bourdain isn’t the only one who tells all! Sparked by Amy's recent confession that she doesn't like--GASP!--mashed potatoes, our beloved hosts reveal a confessional's worth of secrets about making sourdough, shoplifting children, expired half and half, dog kibble--and so much more.

Amy and David look ahead at what we'll be eating and drinking (or not) in 2024. They also review last year's predictions and to see how they held up. Amy confesses to her bizarre aversion to potatoes, and David butters us up with some, well, embarrassingly saucy talk.

What starts off as a proper convo turns into a raucous free-for-all as they try to stump William with examples of bad manners. All to no avail.
