Lazy Day with Not Without Salt, Steamy Kitchen, and Sift and Whisk

March 21, 2015 by Gabriel 2 Comments

Lazy Day with Ashley Rodriguez of Not Without Salt, Jaden Hair of Steamy Kitchen, and Maria Siriano of Sift and Whisk on The Dinner Special podcast talking about their favorite things.

There are so many reasons I love doing these podcasts, but one in particular is that I get to learn so much.

This week alone, it was cool to chat with Ashley Rodriguez of Not Without Salt about food and how it can help relationships flourish, and then with Jaden Hair of Steamy Kitchen, where I totally connected with her on the food she shares and similar Chinese childhood experiences.

Finishing off the week with baker and desserts extraordinaire Maria Siriano of Sift and Whisk, talking with her was like chatting with an old friend.

It really doesn’t get much better.

Below are some of the fun and cool things they mentioned on their podcast episodes.
