Teacake Breakfast with Matt

“Is there even community if there isn’t eating and cooking? Like, does it exist? That’s -- honestly? That’s the thing that makes a coworker a coworker, and not a friend. Like, someone you work with who’s your friend is someone you would go out to lunch with, or you’ll, like, hang out with and go to dinner with - even cook dinner for them. Share food with, right? Share a table with. A coworker is just someone you see when you’re working, but then you go off and do your own thing at lunchtime. “

In this episode, Matt joins us for dinner to make some of his favorite family recipes: English Teacake, fried apples, and country ham. Yes, you do have to cook all three parts to have an authentic family dinner, he tells us. We enjoyed getting to see Matt in the kitchen and of course getting to taste a piece of history while we reviewed his family cookbook together. Matt and I talked about the value of eating and cooking in community, and what it means to be a good friend.
