Ep138. What the Koreans can teach us about plant-based eating

In today's episode, Molly shares her excitement about a vegan cookbook she's discovered from the 1980s (The Vegan Cookbook by Alan Wakeman and Gordon Baskerville). We marvel at the amount of flans and mousses and the lack of long lists of ingredients and Molly promises to test out some of the recipes. We also debate the government's possible u-turn on fur and foie gras and Kylie Jenner's controversial lion head dress. Should we be offended? Or are we being hypocritical?In part 2, we're joined by Jaume Biarnés Digón from the Yondu Culinary Studio in New York. We discuss Korean cooking, how to make vegetables taste delicious, plant-based fermentation and popular vegan dishes in Korea including a seaweed soup that's given as a birthday present.
