Happy New Year! It’s the last dinner of 2025, so we’re planning a nice set of recipes. We’ve got Risotto, Roasted Broccoli, and Garlic Bread. Along the way, we learn some kitchen science about Maillard reactions. Finally, we go through a writing exercise where we talk about the best ways to teach a skill to someone else.If you want to see the full recipes, check out this episode’s companion piece at chopchopfamily.substack.com.Music in this episode includes modified versions of: “Cheesy Radio Ballad” by Lisa Hammer and “Kerplunk” by Mr. Smith.
