S3 E38 Become a Better Home Cook with Guest Jessica Formicola's 5S Philosophy

Send us a text

This week, Erin and Heather welcome Jessica Formicola to the podcast.  Jessica  discovered a passion for helping people around her learn to be better home cooks when her friends kept asking for her recipes after dinner parties at her house. Fast forward a few years and Jessica is the owner of the food blog at SavouryExperiments.com and author of a new cook book, Beef it Up!
 
Along the way, Jessica developed an approach to home cooking she calls the 5S philosophy:
Salt - knowing which salt to use in your dish and how to balance it is key
Seasoning - learn how to be a whiz with the spice cabinet
Swaps (or substitutions) - being able to pivot and make substitutions will help you gain confidence in the kitchen 
Sauces - use easy sauces to elevate your plate
Senses -  sight, smell, sound, feel and taste are important elements to the success of any good cook

Join us as we chat with Jessica about her philosophy, how she made a career switch from psychotherapy to food media, and as she shares her new cook book called Beef it Up!, full of recipes that feature - you guessed it - beef!

In this episode, we also get to chatting about our own experience with these five S words, so stay tuned after the interview to get some ideas and tips from your hosts. We refer to quite a few past episodes you might have missed or will enjoy revisiting - links below!

Happy cooking!
