Tamar Adler on why simple cooking is the best cooking
21-04-2026 | 53 Min.
Writer and cook Tamar Adler joins Samuel Goldsmith to talk about the meals we actually make, the ones thrown together when we're tired, hungry, and just trying to eat. From her time at Chez Panisse with Alice Waters to her new life in Madrid, Tamar makes the case for lazy cooking, leftover rice, and a pot of perfectly tender beans. She shares the story behind her latest book Feast on Your Life, why she wrote it during a period of depression, and how the kitchen became a place to look for small moments of joy. Along the way: fish and chips that never happened, a savory pavlova nobody should make, an imaginary restaurant called Dregs, and the cooking disaster involving a finger cot and a plate of endive. This is a conversation about trusting your instincts, ignoring the noise, and why good food is whatever makes you feel alive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
