Coming Soon: Season Whatever of Our Four-Part Series!
You should never under-season your food, and you should never under-season your podcasts! So we're coming back with a brand new season of our podcast, starting on August 29th! "New season" implies that we had previous "seasons" and not just a flurry of episodes in 2020, followed by unreasonably long fallow periods with sporadic individual episodes. But never mind that! Eight more episodes are coming soon, so please send your cooking questions to alittlehomecooking@gmail.com, and make sure you're subscribed to this feed!
