Food Gifting with Jenny Rosenstrach

To mark a dozen episodes(!), this week we have cookbook writer Jenny Rosenstrach joining us as our first ever SALT PIG guest. We discuss all the food we give our friends and family when they have had a baby, are going through something, hosting us, or just because: practical dinners, surprising treats, weird concoctions that need a home, and more. It turns out packaging has a major impact too: Jenny buys cellophane bags and shops from her designated gift closet (we knew she was a pro), Lukas keeps it classy (most of the time) with parchment and twine, and Ellie finds out that upcycling cottage cheese containers, while environmentally noble, really ruins the vibe. Discussed in this episode:Salt Lick Nationwide Delivery via GoldbellyKari Kari Chili CrispJenny’s I’ll-Miss-You GranolaHomemade Vanilla ExtractZingermans Coffee Cake TrioTasteful Biodegradable ContainersBatched Cocktail Details from Brooks ReitzLukas’ Blueberry-Almond SmoothieThe I Hate to Cook Cookbook by Peg BrackenJenny’s Three-Bean ChiliInstagram | Substack
