About the episode
Dave makes snickerdoodles as their name implies: with Snickers. He then brings the … interesting … results to an interview with Samin Nosrat, author of Salt Fat Acid Heat and new cookbook Good Things, and her cohost of Home Cooking and host of Song Exploder, Hrishikesh Hirway. The trio discusses successful partnerships, perfectionism, and what the future of creative endeavors looks like. Dave finishes with a home food hack: how to make a delicious and dazzling dumpling skirt.
Dave also announces the inaugural Ask Dave prize package winner. Send yours in for a chance to win!
