Episode 131 : "Fried chicken skin, Shoney's, and cooking with your bestie"

Hungry for More : an Epicurean's Dilemma

Trish chats with recipe developer and cookbook author Julie Tanous about her cookbook, "Food Between Friends," she wrote with actor and fellow food lover, Jesse Tyler Ferguson. She talks about growing up in the south, going to culinary school, and moving to Los Angeles with her husband. Tanous says she was pregnant in the city, didn't know anyone, but says one night of going to a dinner party that she didn't want to go to changed everything. That's where she met Ferguson, who also was reluctant to go and the two hit it off immediately. They started working together in the kitchen, cooking together, posting their food online and that's how their cookbook was born. Tanous talks about developing recipes, how easy it is to be in the kitchen with a good friend, and why she's so excited about the new cookbook.
