They talk Kimchi Chronicles and trying bizzare eats on the road in Korea such as raw sea squirt, guilty foods, and roadtripping with Mario in Spain. Learn what some of Julia's favorite new cookbooks are, her rediscovery of cream cheese, and what she would cook and eat as a last meal. This episode is sponsored by Whole Foods Market

This week on Why We Cook Chef Erica delved into the world of summer stews and slow cooking. Since vegetables are mostly water, slow cooking helps get the water out of veggies and caramelize the sugars inside them. Tune in for an enormous amount of tips and tricks (punch holes in eggs to poach them in the pot, use pomegranate molasses for a sharp sweetener) to making the best summer stew you've ever eaten; patience is key! Ratatouille, Turkish stews, Italian summer stews, and every combination therein is covered--tomato, eggplant, and lentil based stews abound.
