Calling all cooks and "I'm not a cook but I love to eat" folks! Accidental home cook Bri McKoy (of the beloved Creamy Lemon Chicken + Potato Soup fame) is *back* on the pod, and she's giving us the tools and simple tips we need to make our lives in the kitchen easier—and our recipes even more delicious. Bri's just released a brand-new book called "The Cook's Book," and this week, she and Emily are dishing on easy sauces for weeknight meals, why salt is more important than you think, how to make any kitchen more functional and fun for you and your fam, and how to find joy in the process, even if you don't *love* to cook.    Thanks to our episode sponsors!
