This week, we’re revisiting one of our all-time favorite episodes—our 2020 interview with Claire Saffitz, in which she describes the trials and tribulations of creating famous snack foods on the Bon Appétit YouTube series “Gourmet Makes.” Plus, we talk to Ed Currie, the creator of one of the world's hottest pepper: the Carolina Reaper; we make Greek-style braised chickpeas; and Alex Aïnouz brews beer at home using only ingredients found in a supermarket.
Get the recipe for Greek-Style Braised Chickpeas with Tomatoes and Orange here.
