In the second class of our course about ways to enjoy the daily task of preparing meals, we make the case for revisiting what you know. Washington Post food and dining editor Joe Yonan, along with recipes editor Becky Krystal and food writer Aaron Hutcherson, explain how building a repertoire can be a useful way to take the drudgery out of cooking, put it on a bit of autopilot and build up your kitchen confidence. Host Cristina Quinn helps listeners identify recipes that resonate, master them through practice and level up by making small tweaks and enhancements that can be unique to the chef.
Find more than 10,000 recipes – sortable by cuisine, course and the time it takes to cook – in The Washington Post’s recipe finder. Try one of Cristina’s favorite recipes, Mushroom and Black Bean Burgers With Balsamic-Glazed Onions.
