"That's one of the first recipes in the book- how to make your own chips. I think people will be surprised at how easy it is." [9:20] -- Lee Frank on Eat Your Words

"When we started writing the book, so many people were surprised to see that most of our recipes are gluten-free. Corn tortillas contain no gluten." [13:00] -- Rachel Anderson on Eat Your Words
