How to Win at Dinner With Melissa Clarke and Dave Arnold
In this episode, we talk about dinner — what you should cook, how you should prepare it, and why the idea of “dinner” scares many of us. We’re talking to Melissa Clarke, a staff reporter for the New York Times Food Division and author of the new cookbook, Dinner in the Blink of an Eye . We also speak with Dave Arnold, founder and president of the Brooklyn Food and Drink Museum and author of Liquid Intelligence . And we spend time with Claire Lower, Lifehacker’s food editor and mastermind for the Will It Sous Vide column.
