23. 'Down the Rabbit Hole' with Dina

Tue, 21 Mar 2023 22:25:00 +0100

Dina is a true gem. Her channel, Silver Lining Homeplace, offers awesome comfort food, tips and tricks, gardening advice, and the occasional cocktail recipe, all delivered with a smile and her charming personality. Hard to believe that only a short while ago, she had never posted a YouTube video in her life.

So together, we dive deep down the rabbit hole to uncover, where it all started and how Dina, as we know and love her, came to be.

Note: I apologize for the bad audio quality of my side of the recording. Tried to fix it as best as I could, but it’s not great. Hope you still enjoy it.

22. 'When it's black, it's buggered' with Simon Parnell

Sun, 30 Jan 2022 09:45:00 +0100

“When it’s brown it’s cooked. When it’s black it’s buggered”. Wisdom from today’s guest Simon Parnell also known as Serenak.

Simon started cooking when he moved out of his parents’. Over time, he has perfected the art of “One pot cooking” making delicious curries and stews.
One specialty of his is what he calls “Lucky Pots”

21. 'ADHD and Dole Whip' with Kelly Guimont

Sun, 21 Nov 2021 23:00:00 +0100

Kelly lives in one of the food capitals of the world. For one, Portland has the highest number of food trucks in the US (according to some news outlets). So it’s a bit of a surprise that she isn’t known for her canning skills or for reading recipes on Youtube.

Most people know her from her many podcasts, her work for App Camp For Girls or her amazing tech support skills. Today, however, Kelly and I talk all about food, ADHD and Dole Whip at Disneyland.

20. 'A Foodie's Tour Through Chicago' with David Ginsburg

Mon, 21 Jun 2021 13:00:00 +0200

To say David knows a lot about the culinary scene in and around Chicago would be an absolute understatement. While he’s not much into cooking (aside from the occasional BBQ) he sure is a foodie. With his extensive knowledge of everything good there is to eat and drink in the area, one has to wonder why he hasn’t written a book or created a TV show about it.

One thing is certain though: Chicago has a lot to offer, when it comes to food. Not just Deep Dish Pizza, something most people would associate with the city, but also hot dogs, cheese sandwiches and so, so much more! It’s really no surprise there’s a long running food rivalry with New York.

I for one, plan on visiting Chicago soon. And coming back 100lbs heavier most likely. It will be worth it.

19. 'From Brooklyn to North-West Germany' with Mike T Rose

Sat, 22 May 2021 22:00:00 +0200

For people in the Apple technology news space, Mike Rose is a well known entity. He served as Editor for The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) for over 8 years, and his voice can still be heard on many podcasts.

Influenced by his Jewish upbringing and his lovely wife’s German ancestry, Mike is certainly what you’d call a foodie. He’s very curios about food, and loves to visit his favorite restaurants in and around Brooklyn. Through his wife, he also experienced the kitchen of North-Western Germany (Lippe) as well as Berlin’s amazing street food scene.

A while ago, Mike dipped his toes into the world of live cooking, sharing his chicken recipe on Instagram Live and showing us at least some of his many kitchen gadgets.

Mike’s favorite dish: Pork Chops in Cherry-Pepper Sauce Recipe.
Worst kitchen gadget he owns: Garlic peeler

18. 'California Foodie' with Teresa Morris

Fri, 02 Apr 2021 12:25:00 +0200

What do babies, sleep and Lemon Meringue Pie have in common? Quite a lot, when it comes to Teresa.

As a foodie and environmentalist from California, Teresa enjoys everything the state has to offer year round. Her favorite place? The farmers market, where she can see what’s looking good and in season right now, and interact with the farmers. She loves to let the produce inspire her, even if that means 3 months of broccoli dishes.

One thing few people know about her is that she owned and ran a restaurant in New Albany (Indiana) for a year.

Hot Apple Pie (with or without alcohol)

One bottle of unfiltered apple juice
Three seedless orange slices thinly sliced
2 (real) cinnamon sticks
5 cloves

Put everything in a stainless steel pot. Bring to boil and immediately reduce to simmer. Steep for at least 1 hour, longer is better. Ladle into a mug and top with firmly whipped (homemade!) whipping cream. Sprinkle a tiny bit of nutmeg on top and serve. Add a splash of Tuaca for an adult-only version.

17. 'PB&J Foodie' with Brett Terpstra

Thu, 21 Jan 2021 23:00:00 +0100

Most people know Brett as a prolific creator of apps and tools. Or as someone who likes to talk about Taylor Swift on podcasts. Today, however, he is talking about food. Something that he’s never done before on a podcast.

Brett definitely has lots of interesting stories to tell. Like how he went vegetarian to impress a girl. And then stuck to it for almost his entire adult life. Or how he used to eat food out of dumpsters because he had “other priorities” and the only good meal he would have was from a lovely Thai restaurant whose owner became almost like a father to him.

The one thing that sticks out when Brett talks about food is how he approaches it with almost scientific curiosity. He strives to understand how food works and how it was discovered. For example, early on he loved to learn how sugars change when heat is applied. And so, even though he doesn’t consider himself a Foodie, he certainly knows a lot about it. Somehow, that is something his tech life and his kitchen life have in common.

Oh and his favorite food? PB&J.

16. 'Marrying Wood with Meat' with Chris Ashley

Sun, 18 Oct 2020 00:40:00 +0200

Coming from a Jamaican family and with his mom being an amazing cook, Chris certainly had food in his veins. And so it’s not surprising that, at a very young age and after working at two restaurants at the same time, he became the assistant manager of a local fast-food restaurant. How did he get there? By using his smarts, working hard, and, admittedly, being young and cocky…

Eventually, he left the food industry and worked his way up in the IT business. His passion for food didn’t just disappear though. And not long after, he discovered the amazing world of BBQ. In this episode, Chris tells us his secret sauce for a really good BBQ!

15. Parenting in the Kitchen with Adam Christianson

Tue, 15 Sep 2020 10:30:00 +0200

Adam is a long time podcaster and Apple enthusiast. His show ‘Maccast’ has long been a staple of the wider Apple community.

Growing up in California, Adam describes the style of food he to this day enjoys as ’typical American cuisine’, heavily influenced by readily available (and good!) Mexican food.

Things changed though, when his kids were born and grew older.
Wanting to provide a healthy environment and also save some money, he and his wife became more and more interested in cooking, even leaving the comforts of American cuisine to venture out into the wide world of food. They also very intentionally approached the topic of cooking with his children, wanting to make sure they are well prepared for when they leave the nest…

14. From Yorkshire Pub Food to French Cuisine with Alistair Dabbs

Mon, 31 Aug 2020 21:00:00 +0200

From the culinary heights of the Yorkshire pub scene to the best southern France has to offer, Alistair has certainly experienced a wide range of foods.

Growing up mostly on convenience food, it took him going vegetarian for a little while during his college years (mostly to impress girls) to discover that cooking could actually be fun and also save some money.
A little bit further down the line, after meeting his wife, he discovers the cultural differences between (southern) France, Italy and the UK when it comes to preparing, presenting and eating food. She also reintroduces him to a Vegetarian lifestyle, which he enjoys a lot (except for Fish & Chips). If only there were any good Vegetarian restaurants outside of London…

13. Simple, Healthy Cooking with Callum O'Hara

Mon, 24 Aug 2020 21:45:00 +0200

When Callum isn’t repairing Apple devices that have been completely smashed to pieces (accidentally of course), he really enjoys cooking. Coming from a family where both parents are working, it’s always been simple things that ended up on the table. More functional cooking, but it had to be quick.

Callum really enjoys simple, healthy recipes, but also doesn’t shy away from the more involved recipes. Even if he has to buy a pre-made mix online…

12. The Irish Feast with Martin Kelly

Mon, 20 Jul 2020 21:00:00 +0200

Martin has always worked a lot. So convenient access to food was always very important. Either sourced from the corner supermarket, or cooked by his partner at the time.
Still, Martin has always loved food. Starting with his aunt’s Irish feasts, he’s always loved delicious, home made meals. And his dream? Poppy’s greek “tea time”…

11. 'Grandma's many gardens' with Ro

Sun, 21 Jun 2020 21:00:00 +0200

Ro loves supporting parents with different needs, especially in times like these where COVID-19 makes everything more difficult. That requires a high level of flexibility and being able to adapt to various situations.
When it comes to food, Ro is certainly open for experimentation and variation. Adding courgettes to all kinds of dishes, it’s sometimes a surprise for their family how it will end up. Usually it’s great, but there have been a few instances that are better not spoken about (oh.. but we did put that on tape, I think).

When it comes to cakes, however, Ro is more the “quick and dirty” kind of person: it doesn’t need to look good, as long as it tastes great. And that’s what it’s all about.
Their ability to overcater any given occasion is inherited from their grandma who inspired much of their love of cooking and growing.

====== Ro’s Mango Lentil Curry: ======

Ro's Mango Lentil Curry

Fry spices, usually (roughly) 4 cardamom, 1 star anise, 2tsp coriander, 6 cloves and 3tsp cumin seeds until they start to pop, Add onion I used 4 small this time. Soften.

Roughly chop tomatoes.
I had 750g of fresh (bland) salad tomatoes and 1 can of cheap tinned tomatoes (nothing too high quality and flavorful or tomato dominates). Blend the tomatoes with 2 inches of ginger, and about half a bulb of garlic. Add this to the onions and spices, add salt and tumeric and cook until the oil floats to the surface.

Meanwhile prepare the mango.
I used 2 smallish ones because they were 39p! (peel and cube…and try to stop the kids from eating it all before you cook it) Add sweet potato. We had 1 1/2 giant ones. I peeled and chopped. Peeling is not necessary but as my littlest picks out the skin and they won’t eat the curry I peel.

Put these in the sauce with two cups of red lentils and add a can of water (sometimes it needs more)

Cook until everything is cooked. Add garam masala and salt to taste.

By preference I’d add a red chilli to this, and probably also coriander, but my kids disagree. They love it with tamarind sauce or ketchup. We serve it with rice or naan. A squeeze of lemon will also give enough tang to counteract the sweetness.

Ro's Mango Lentil Curry in the making

10. 'Sneaking out at night to get street food' with Hauwa Abashiya

Wed, 10 Jun 2020 20:00:00 +0200

From the Northern parts of Nigeria, to the rainy UK, Hauwa has certainly seen a lot in her life.
Growing up in Nigeria, her dad - being a fan of a diverse set of cuisines - exposed her to a lot of international foods, while her mom liked to keep it more local. And so she grew up appreciating both the amazing local food as well as the highlights from all around the world. American Cinnamon Rolls, Italian Pasta or Sloppy Joes are just a few of the things she enjoyed very much (plus Danish food she can’t remember, but says it was good too). And on occasion, she would sneak out… to get some local street food. That’s the kind of Foodie she already was back then :)

Today, she loves going back to the dishes of her childhood, and giving them another go. Or making Cinnamon Rolls, because… you know… they’re the best thing in the world.

Links:

Drinks:

Zobo (Hibiscus Drink) - can use hibiscus or roselle plant leaves)
Kunun Gyada (groundnuts/peanuts)
Kunun Aya (tiger nut)
Chapman grenadine, Fanta, sprite, lemon, then watermelon, orange to garnish

Breakfast - can be heavy:

Lunch - soups usually accompanied with Tuwo (like a dense mash but made from either yam, skin of yams, unripe plantain, rice, maize, guinea corn, wholewheat, semolina or acha):

Dinner tends to be light:

Masa
Moi Moi
Chips (potato/sweet potato)
Pepper soup (goat, assorted meat and tripe, offal)
Jollof Rice
Fried Rice
Plantain/Dodo

9. 'Pennsylvania Dutch Cooking' with Chuck Joiner

Mon, 01 Jun 2020 20:00:00 +0200

Chuck Joiner is well known in the Podcast world. One of his many Podcasts, MacVoices, has been around for almost 15 years, and he has also appeared on numerous other podcasts over time.

Today, he’s joining Foodie Flashback to talk about his love of food. From growing up in Southern Pennsylvania, with what he lovingly calls “Pennsylvania Dutch Cooking”, to traveling more and more as his professional career progressed, he eventually fell in love with food. Always trying new things as he got to discover new places.
Cooking however, was a later addition to his repertoire, only starting to pick up the skills in his late 20s.

Recently, after eating out more and more, he has rediscovered his love for cooking, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting need to stay at home.

8. 'How COVID transformed a die hard restaurant goer into a home chef' with Beth Myers

Sun, 24 May 2020 20:00:00 +0200

This weeks guest is Beth Myers, amazing photographer, lover of all animals (even the delicious ones) and occasional rebel.

She definitely doesn’t fit any traditional definition of foodie, and certainly doesn’t consider herself one, and yet she loves to eat out and try new things. That’s pretty impressive given that she grew up in rural Ohio, where options where limited and spices meant Salt and sometimes a little Pepper.

Only fairly recently has she discovered her love for cooking. She still loves being served, and not having to deal with the cleanup afterwards, but these difficult times have sparked her interest in making more food at home with her loving husband (who is currently learning to cook, too).

7. 'Oh shit I need to chop that' with Marie Bicker

Sun, 17 May 2020 22:00:00 +0200

Today, Foodie Flashback is going multilingual. Don’t worry, we’re still speaking English, but this time it’s with a German accent.

I hired Marie straight out of school a few years ago as my assistant (at first) and we quickly became friends. Not a huge surprise since we both like good food, good wine and good drinks. Plus she’s incredibly easy to get along with. Today, she’s a Product Owner for a Health Insurance company in Germany.

Today, she talks about how her grandma, working at a hotel, instilled a service mindset in her. And how family events were more about the social aspects, with food and wine serving more as something that could be enjoyed together.
To this day, it’s how she thinks about people and about social situations. And so it’s no surprise to anyone, that her interest in cooking only goes as far as it’s a fun activity she can do with friends. While drinking wine. Or Gin. Preferably both!

6. Italian Food Coma Zone with TheMacMommy

Sun, 10 May 2020 23:00:00 +0200

This weeks guest is very well known in the Apple podcast sphere, one could say she’s everyone’s mommy. Pardon the pun. Of course, I’m speaking about TheMacMommy a.k.a. Melissa Davis. She’s not only a long time podcaster and writer, she’s also been helping families and individuals navigate the Apple Ecosystem. And yes, she’s a mom of two awesome kids!

Today, she talks with me about her Italian upbringing and how a debate ensued whether “real Italians don’t use spoons”. She also shares how she had to adapt her diet due to things changing in her life, being pregnant and being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, as well as some choices she made, and how that has prepared her for the quarantine we’re all in right now.

5. 'If it's not chocolate it's not dessert' with Tom Ferry

Sun, 03 May 2020 20:00:00 +0200

This week I had the great pleasure of interviewing Tom Ferry, a self-proclaimed non-foodie, first time podcaster and somone who remembers a time when Silicon Valley was still called Santa Clara Valley. For him, food has always been more of a reason to get his (big) family together and be social. So while it played an important role at getting everyone at the same table, it wasn’t as important. Despite all that, he definitely still cares about food. As long as it’s a dessert. And has chocolate in it. Like his Mom’s Chocolate Rice Krispies.

4. Japanese German Fusion with Jerome Koehler

Sun, 26 Apr 2020 21:00:00 +0200

Jerome is not really a foodie, or so he says. He certainly does enjoy eating well, though. And so he takes us on an adventure through his German/Texan upbringing, all the way to his current home, Hawaii.
From having too much of his grandma’s awesome German food (or was it Austrian/Swiss?), to Southern comfort food and BBQ, to everything Japanese, he sure has seen and experienced a lot.
Being married to his Japanese wife, he really appreciates the many cusisines of Japan, something I got to experience a little bit on Hawaii. And so it’s not really all that surprising that he would describe his current style of cooking as “Japanese German Fusion”.

3. Scientific Chocolate Cake with Jeff Gamet

Sun, 19 Apr 2020 20:00:00 +0200

This week, Jeff Gamet joins me to talk about a kid who discovered that baking chocolate cake wasn’t just a lot of fun, it was also a very methodical and almost scientific dish. That initial spark turned into a lifelong quest of finding recipes, using them as inspiration and then changing them to his liking. His love for experimentation stuck with him, and allowed him to take his grandma’s beloved Deviled Eggs and make them his own. And while they may never live up to his grandma’s as he remembers them, they certainly are very good. Once he starts making his own mayonnaise that is…

Intro music: “Child’s Play” by Alex Nekita (alexnekita)

===== Jeff’s Recipes =====

Deviled Eggs

12 eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp yellow mustard
2 tsp vinegar
1/4 tsp salt
fresh ground black pepper
paprika (for garnish)

Instead of boiling the eggs, I bake them in the oven: 325F for 30 minutes in a muffin try. Each egg gets its own cup. Cool the eggs in ice water for 10 minutes after they finish baking.

I always mix everything except the black pepper. Once everything is mixed to the consistency I like, I grind some pepper and add until the mixture tastes right.

Of course, the paprika gets sprinkled on top of the finished eggs.

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Pecorino Toscano
Manchengo (aged 3 months)
Mayonnaise
Olive oil
my homemade bread (see below)

Spread some mayonnaise on the bread slices. To be clear: the mayonnaise goes on the inside of the sandwich, and not the outside.

Grate enough Pecorino Toscano to cover the slice of bread in a thick layer. You’ll know when you have enough cheese. Next, grate enough Manchengo to cover the Toscano layer. You want more Toscano than Manchengo, otherwise the Manchengo overpowers the other flavors.

I always use young Manchego because the flavor gets sharper and more pungent with age. If it’s aged more, you get a Manchengo sandwich instead of a grilled cheese sandwich.

Use the olive oil as the browning agent in your skillet, and never go above medium heat when grilling the sandwich. Also, cover the skillet to help the cheese melt. You may need to add some more oil when you flip the sandwich because the bread absorbs a lot.

Slice the sandwich in half after both sides are that perfect brown color, but don’t make a symmetrical cut. My grandma always made the cut so you’d get two asymmetrical trapezoids, so that’s what we should all do.

Simple Wheat Bread

3 cups whole wheat flour
1 egg
1 1/4 cup water
3 Tbl brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 Tbl olive oil
2 Tbl vital wheat gluten
1 1/4 tsp quick-rising yeast

I use this recipe in my bread machine. It makes a 1.5 pound loaf, and works really well for high altitude baking.

Mix the egg white and yolk in a 1 cup measuring cup, then add warm water to make a whole cup of liquid. Pour that, plus another 1/4 cup water in the bread machine loaf tub. Add the oil, brown sugar, and salt.

Add the flour slowly so you make an even and dry layer covering the liquid. Add the vital wheat gluten and yeast.

Check the dough regularly while it’s mixing to make sure it feels tacky. If it feels too sticky, add a little flour. Probably somewhere between a teaspoon and tablespoon.

This is a super-simple bread recipe that consistently turns out great for me, and the flavor is always just right.

2. Offal Good with Ewen

Most people will probably know Ewen either for the long running technology podcasts he has been creating for over 10 years, or his awesome photography and videography business. Today however, we’re getting to know a different side of his.
Ewen confesses his love for offal of any kind (as long as it’s prepared right), which we both agree is one of the most underappreciated types of ingredients these days. He also doesn’t consider himself a Foodie, despite the fact that he is a good cook. To this day, he doesn’t know how his grandmothers Sherry Trifle is made exactly, but has very fond memories of the times he got to enjoy it.

1. Culinary World Tour with Doc Rock

Sun, 05 Apr 2020 19:00:00 +0200

In this, the very first episode of Foodie Flashback, I’m joined by my good friend and fellow Podcaster Doc Rock. He takes us on a culinary tour throughout his live. Starting with his earliest memories of cooking with his Grandma, through his formative years in Germany and Japan, all the way to the culinary hotspots of Portland, San Francisco and Honolulu, Hawaii. We get to experience the simple things like a humble Japanese Beef Soup or his passionate love for coffee and cakes from Vienna.

0. Introduction

Fri, 27 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0100

Coming soon. A new podcast for your ears, hearts and minds. Almost everyone has a favorite kind of food they get very nostalgic about. Be it the Mac & Cheese their grandma used to make, the fresh baked bread on a Sunday morning when the family had breakfast together, or the amazing lemonade you would make when your kids came home from school on a hot summer day. It’s the kinds of foods and beverages that immediately trigger memories when we think about them or smell them. It’s what a lot of people would also call “comfort food” bringing back warm childhood memories when we need them the most.

I’d like to explore those stories with you, inviting guests from all walks of live to share their foods and their memories.
