About Pasta, Our One-Minute Cooking Tip, An Interview with Pasta Grannies' Vicky Bennison, & Hot Pot Potato Chips!

Pasta. So beloved. We've got tips, tricks, and secrets to making the best. And an interview with Vicky Bennison of the beloved YouTube show PASTA GRANNIES and her new cookbook.

We're veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We've written over three dozen cookbooks. True, none specifically about pasta. But you should check out our recipes for lasagna in every season in our tome, the 900-recipe ULTIMATE COOK BOOK.

We're all about pasta in this episode. Plus, some weird potato chips we've found (and hope to love).

Here are the segments of this episode of COOKING WITH BRUCE AND MARK:

[00:51] A lot about pasta: favorite shapes, questions about those shapes, and our best new find, gluten-free yellow lentil pasta (yum!).

[13:45] Our one-minute cooking tip: Don't put oil in the water when you boil it for pasta, dried or fresh.

[15:14] Bruce's interview with Vicky Bennison, producer of the super popular YouTube channel PASTA GRANNIES and author of the cookbook PASTA GRANNIES: COMFORT COOKING.

[28:37] What's making us happy in food this week? Sichuan mala (hot and numbing) hot pot potato chips!
