Can't Boil Water Mar 14, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, Shira shares a fascinating story about a client who grew up with chefs preparing all her meals. As magical as that sounds, what resulted from this was a distant relationship with food and a lack of basic cooking know-how—yes, even boiling water. This week Shira encourages listeners to have a few go-to recipes that they feel confident making and can rotate through, and to embrace a beginner mindset. It's never too late to learn how to cook. Feeling connected to our food can be a wonderful thing that keeps us in tune with our bodies and our cultures. What are some of your “slam dunk” recipes or favorite comfort dishes?
