“An antidote to diet culture” — the new york times, January 2022
NAMED A Finalist for IACP Awards 2019
Keep Calm & Cook On with Julia Turshen
“‘Keep Calm and Cook On’ is a great reminder of how food intersects with just about every other aspect of life, including mental health, relationships and race. So although Turshen is ostensibly speaking to her guests about cooking, the conversations are always intimate, vulnerable and wide-ranging.” — Emma Dibdin in The New York Times
Guests have included the writers Roxane Gay, Jia Tolentino, Ashley C. Ford, Aubrey Gordon, and Jessica B. Harris; the television stars Antoni Porowski, Samin Nosrat, Carla Hall, Pati Jinich, and Vivian Howard; the MacArthur Fellow and Grammy award-winning musician Cécile McLorin Salvant; the cookbook authors Dorie Greenspan, Deb Perelman, and Claire Saffitz; the chefs Ashely Christensen, Kelly Fields, Jody Williams, and Rita Sodi, and many, many more.
