Dan Pashman: Hey everyone! It’s Dan, back with another episode from the deep the freezer that we have reheated to serve to you. This one features two science nerds of the food world, Harold McGee and Nik Sharma. Nick, by the way, has a new book out as just a couple months ago called Veg-Table. It takes the same scientific as his approach as his first book but focuses more on veggies. Remember that if you have an episode that you’d like us to reheat, send me a voice memo or email at [email protected]. Thanks!
Dan Pashman: First off, I just wanted to sort of ask to get us rolling here, your new book is all about smells. Of the many smells you talk about one of them is the smell of a wet dog.

There’s others and others there’s some available in kids sizes. Get it for the whole family. Get one for yourself, while you’re at it. I think you deserve it. Due note, that because of COVID, we can’t guarantee you’ll get it by Christmas, but that’s okay. Put an I.O.U. in someone’s stocking,…
