This week on Why We Cook Chef Erica delves into the world of thrift: wasting food, preserving food, and why the outlook of younger kids is less thrift-focused than those who grew up with parents who survived the Holocaust or the Great Depression. Plus we get a primer on one of the oldest forms of cooking around: the clay oven. This episode was sponsored by Fairway: like no other market.
