Episode 56 : Mary Poppins Show with Jodie Hough (Back to Basics : Season 15 : Episode 9) Feb 24, 2022

Show notes

Its a Jolly Holiday indeed because this week we are joined by special guest and fellow podcasting bestie, Jodie Hough! We reminisce about the early days of Ina's cookbooks, Giada's over the top Italian pronunciations, and the glory of strawberry pretzel salad. Ina is using more than a spoonful of sugar to whip up a batch of meringue clouds followed by a masterclass in roasted potatoes with the ever charming Emily Blunt! Much to Ina's chagrin, Rob Marshall and John DeLuca produce an underwhelming bounty of muscari and tulips, but all is mended with a gin based Poppins Gimlet. Throw in a roasted capon, some haricot verts prepared by the overzealous Lin Manuel Miranda, and its steppin' time for these sister suffragettes!
