Summary

What’s the simple chef trick that can make a basic fish dinner taste restaurant-worthy? In this bite-sized episode, we share the best things we ate this week to inspire each other—and you. By the end of this episode, you’ll want to try an easy technique for cooking fish at home that relies on one surprisingly simple ingredient: store-bought crème fraîche. You’ll also discover two comforting weeknight meals— a noodle bowl and French onion crostini— both built from a single pot of rich oxtail broth and its tender meat. Tune in for a quick dose of home cooking inspiration! *** For more recipes and cooking inspiration, sign up for our free Substack here .
