Making Mochi Cake With Hetty Lui McKinnon
Manage episode 375351955 series 3488356
Take a look at Hetty Lui McKinnon’s latest cookbook, Tenderheart: A Book About Vegetables and Unbreakable Family Bonds, and it’s clear where the writer and recipe developer’s loyalties lie. Hetty admittedly has never been known for her desserts, but she did slip a few baking recipes into her new book, including one for a chewy, flavorful Ginger & Coconut Mochi Cake. On today’s episode, Hetty takes host Jessie Sheehan through the recipe and explains why this confection is “the most fail-proof cake you’re ever going to make.”
Hetty also talks about working with sticky rice flour, upgrading her spice cabinet, and finding the right pan for this recipe. She and Jessie also talk about a serious topic during the episode: grief. Jessie recently lost her father and Hetty lost her father when she was a teenager, so they discuss love and loss and why grieving is necessary.
