Food is for sharing and enjoying. Competition is the opposite of sharing.

After Chris Kimball left ATK, I noticed how much they tended to focus on meat dishes and thoroughly American comfort foods. With Milk Street, CK continues exploring cuisines of other cultures, and includes much more meat-free cooking than ATK or Cook's Country.

I love listening to Pati's charming accent, but except for her desserts, not enough there for meat shunners.

Those were the best. Loved the awkward voiceover Japanese to English translations that couldn't convey Japanese idioms. Marcus IM Nov 2023 #19

I may be related to the translator/voice over. usonian Nov 2023 #20

Yes. It was really entertaining. Not too serious, but they did actually cook interesting food. Marcus IM Nov 2023 #21
