Join us in this flavorful episode as we chat with Walk-In Talk Co Host Chef Jeffrey Schlissel and Vicky Webster from Happy Tales Goat Farm about the incredible flavors of Indian and Southern cooking, as well as the ins and outs of the goat business.
We elevate hanger steak using Indian spices like asafoetida, achar, and Arctic Apples brand apples, and explore the different types of pickling and curry in Indian cuisine. But wait, there's more! We also whip up fully loaded mashed potatoes with bacon powder, chives, and caramelized collard greens, captured beautifully by food photographer John Hernandez.
