I’m so excited for a brand spanking new episode of Healthy Cooking Secrets. On our first episode of this series, The Korean Vegan, Justine Snacks, and Feed the Malik all came on the pod and shared SO MANY good tips, like how to get protein and even marathon-train on a vegan diet, why you should be adding corn starch to cookies, how to always know the best thing to order from restaurant menus, and more. If you like food and you haven’t listened to that episode yet, I highly recommend that you do, but don’t worry—it’s not at all required to enjoy this episode.

On this episode Samah Dada from @dadaeats shares: 

• The four spices to keep on hand for amazing Indian dishes
• Why she never drinks cold water

Then Yumna Jawad from @feelgoodfoodie gets into:

• Her secrets for getting kids to eat healthy
• 3 ways to get even the pickiest eaters excited about veggies
• The tiktok trends she’s tried that have been total wins—and which ones were total fails
• The Lebanese ingredients she always keeps on hand to uplevel all of her dishes
• The one spice she adds to dishes to combat bloating

Finally, best-selling cookbook author Julia Turshen (@turshen) shares: 

• How she dealt with her wife’s Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis
• How she’s healed her relationship with food and learned to intuitively eat
• Her secret to making vegan and vegetarian dishes SUPER satisfying
• Why she doesn’t like meal prep and what she does instead
• Her top tips for saving a ton of money on healthy food
