Join hosts Chef Cal and Christa DeMercurio as they dive into essential kitchen practices and food safety tips in this episode of the "Cooking Like a Pro" podcast. Get chef advice on everything from poblanos and mole, to couscous, and clams.
KITCHEN TIP: Storing your spices near the stove might be convenient, but it's not ideal! Heat and light can degrade seasonings. Keep them in airtight containers in cooler, darker places to maintain their quality and flavor.

I'm Christa DeMercurio. I started as a stay-at-home mom who relied on cookbooks, measuring everything and following recipes to the letter. But watching my chef husband move effortlessly in the kitchen, I knew there had to be a better way.
So, I learned—studying his techniques, practicing his methods, and mastering the strategies that keep professional kitchens running smoothly. Over time, I became confident, capable, and free from recipes controlling my cooking.
I’m here to help you do the same. On Cooking Like a Pro, together we share everything you need to cook with confidence, save time and money, and actually enjoy being in the kitchen—without the stress and frustration.
P.S. I still reference cookbooks and internet recipes too!
