In today's episode I speak with cookbook author, recipe developer and content creator Zaynab Issa, all about the power of PURPOSE in the kitchen. Zaynab worked as a food editor at Bon Appétit magazine, is a current contributor to New York Times Cooking, and is the author of the new book, Third Culture Cooking: Classic Recipes for a New Generation.
We explore how cooking can become a powerful place to find ourselves and to discover our unique preferences and aesthetic. Zaynab also shares her philosophy around beauty in life and in the kitchen, and how it can enrich the experience of eating, even if (or maybe especially if) we’re just cooking for ourselves. She shares her tips for creating beauty on the plate, from food styling tips, to how she chooses vessels, to tips for arranging the table.
