Yay, it’s Smitten Kitchen day, and we’re really, really excited to welcome back our friend Deb Perelman. Deb is the writer, photographer, recipe developer, and driving force behind one of the internet’s most popular home cooking destinations. We talk about what she’s been cooking and how she’s been living her best life with two kids in New York’s East Village, and we discuss her wonderful new book, Smitten Kitchen Keepers. What makes a “keeper” recipe, you might ask. We get into that and a lot more on this really fun episode.Also on the show, Aliza and Matt talk about spice blends, and how they finally deserve much more respect.More from The Smitten Kitchen:Deb Perelman’s Work Diary [The New York Times] Apple Cider Doughnuts [SK official]Black Bean Pumpkin Soup [SK official]You’re Gonna Need a Bigger Spice Rack [TASTE]FOLLOW, FOLLOW, FOLLOW:instagram.com/smittenkitcheninstagram.com/mattrodbardinstagram.com/taste
