Pod Appétit: Gourmet Takes

Well, pals, it’s time to hang up our aprons! After four years, over 130 episodes, and countless kitchen adventures, Pod Appétit is signing off. But not before a grand finale. Join us for one last episode of cooking triumphs, and of course, disasters! Whether you’ve been with us since the halcyon days of the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen or are a new listener, you have our heartfelt thanks. We truly appreciate all your comments, food pics, and support. Pod Appétit wouldn’t have been the same without you! You can find Meg online here [https://linktr.ee/megmezeske], and you can find Justine wherever there’s pesto.   August 2023 Themes: Grab Some Nuts Day (8/3) Waffle Day (8/24) Banana Lovers' Day (8/27) Toasted Marshmallow Day (8/30) National Peach Month Seasonal produce   Today’s Menu: Banana-Cocoa Gluten-Free Vegan Waffles from Whole Food Cooking Every Day by Amy Chaplin [https://nowservingla.com/products/shopworn-copy-whole-food-cooking-every-day-transform-the-way-you-eat-with-250-vegetarian-recipes-free-of-gluten-dairy-and-refined-sugar-amy-chaplin] Salty Caramel Peanut Butter Cake from Snacking Cakes by Yossy Arefi [https://www.amazon.com/Snacking-Cakes-Simple-Anytime-Cravings/dp/0593139666/] Pesto and Heirloom Tomato Galette [https://www.bakerita.com/pesto-heirloom-tomato-galette-gluten-free-paleo-vegan/] by Bakerita Vegetarian Marshmallows [https://thehappyfoodie.co.uk/recipes/vegetarian-marshmallows/] by The Marshmallowist Homemade Marshmallows [https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/homemade-marshmallows-recipe] by King Arthur Baking Company Vegan Marshmallows [https://makeitdairyfree.com/vegan-marshmallow-recipe/] by Make It Dairy-Free Vegan Banoffee Millionaires Shortbread [https://addictedtodates.com/banoffee-millionaires-shortbread/] by Addicted to Dates S’mores Martini [https://whimsysoul.com/roaring-smores-martini-a-leo-zodiac-sign-cocktail/] by Meg Mezeske Coconut Rice Pudding with Nectarines and Peaches from Afro-Vegan by Bryant Terry [https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/225436/afro-vegan-by-bryant-terry/] Poke Bowl Salmon Burgers with Spicy Yuzu-Edamame Mayo [https://www.instagram.com/p/Cvs-JtWJXtH/] by Meg Mezeske   Today’s Media: Cake Zine [http://www.cakezine.com] A Merinuge Tale [https://www.instagram.com/a.meringuetale/] The Best American Food Writing (2022) [https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-best-american-food-writing-2022-sohla-el-wayllysilvia-killingsworth?variant=40390255935522] _   Find Pod Appétit: Website: podappetitpodcast.com [https://www.podappetitpodcast.com] YouTube: youtube.com/@pod_appetit [https://www.youtube.com/@pod_appetit] Twitter: @pod_appetit [https://twitter.com/pod_appetit] Instagram: @pod_appetit [https://www.instagram.com/pod_appetit/] Facebook: podappetitpodcast [https://www.facebook.com/podappetitpodcast/] Email: podappetitpodcast@gmail.com [podappetitpodcast@gmail.com] Merch: podappetit.threadless.com [https://podappetit.threadless.com/] Newsletter: podappetit.substack.com [https://podappetit.substack.com/] _ Logo by: Janelle Wilke Instagram: @janelle.wilke [https://www.instagram.com/janelle.wilke/]
