56: Cooking Oil: Fact from Fiction

There is so much misinformation on the Interweb that leaves most people with no idea what oil is best to use in cooking. This podcast episode is about taking the confusion out of oils.

54: The Words We Cook With

Last week I held a free online class and we all made a delectable snickers bar recipe which you can still catch the recording for, at time of recording this podcast, but I made a big boo boo, which caused a stir over on Instagram. This has prompted me make a public apology and to talk about appropriate kitchen terms and also talk about some fun witchy ingredients that we use in the kitchen, quite often in fact. In this podcast I talk about:  How I unintentionally used a racist term in the title of my recipe  Look at terms used in the kitchen that have changed names  Look at some Australian ingredients and introduce you to their indigenous names  Explore some witchy ingredients  And share a fabulous recipe and fun cooking tip.   Links mentioned in the show https://www.veets.com.au/living-well-with-veet [https://www.veets.com.au/living-well-with-veet]   for information on the fabulous cooking and nutrition collective I have running.
