Ham El-Waylly’s Comfort Food

from The Dinner Plan

Ham El-Waylly has a restaurant—Strange Delight in Brooklyn—but the chef's new book, Hello Home Cooking, is not a restaurant cookbook. In this interview with host Maggie Hoffman, Ham shares his most important tips for home cooks, including smart farmers market shopping advice, thoughts on your nonstick cookware, and his favorite thing to put on a salad. He also shares his most beloved out-of-print cookbooks, memories of his mother's cooking, and the snacks and comfort food he'd sneak from the freezer while playing video games as a kid.
