If you’re someone who doesn’t cook or doesn’t know how, you might think that the kitchen is the most intimidating place in the world. But today’s guest, food personality, former chef, former food editor at Bon Appétit, and NYT bestselling author Molly Baz says it doesn’t have to be. Her entire goal is to inspire a new generation to find joy in the kitchen and take pride in putting a home-cooked meal on the table. In her new cookbook “More is More,” Molly is helping us learn the foundational tools to become a better cook. Danielle + Molly discuss:
The one ingredient that will change your food!
Why Molly dropped the “Chef” title
The unique way Molly hustled + trained to be a chef in fine dining establishments
Why she chose trial by fire over a traditional education when preparing to be a chef
Her pivot into the word of food media, working for Bon Appetit and Epicurious
Her views on how someone can refine their palette through their mindset (and what it means to be a curious eater!)
Why she worries about modern conveniences like UberEats or Postmates making the art of cooking obsolete
How she learned to say “YES” versus “NO” by identifying her purpose in life
The ability that sets an amateur cook from a professional one
What she sees as her biggest failure
Her journey to becoming a bestselling cookbook author with her 2021 book “Cook This Book” and her new release “More is More”
How to build the perfect sandwich
Her favorite restaurant in the world

A compelling interview with seemingly an extraordinary young woman by a fine interviewer who conveyed genuine interest, admiration, and marvelous simpatico. Terrific, delightful on both ends.
This was delightful. It is nice to hear the deeper version of Ms. Baz. I loved hearing about her trajectory from art student to self-employed food star. One thing I wonder about is if the situation at BA (the mass exodus) helped put her in a position to go out on her own. Would she have still gone out on her own (at that moment in time) if things had been different at BA? The other thing I wonder about (and this is total gossip) is her real feelings about Rapo. I was a BA Kitchen UA-cam devotee and I couldn't stand the guy. I fell in love with Molly when I saw her working with him and not putting up with his shit. I always wondered if that was my imagination or if it was kind of accurate.
I love both of my Molly cookbooks. I’m making my way through both of the books with joy! The QR codes are an added bonus, and so much fun! I’ve noticed in cooking Molly’s recipes, that I’m purchasing a lot more garlic, citrus, herbs & salt. Every recipe has been a “Super Wow” explosion of flavor, but also really simple in a sense. Another bonus are the cocktail recipes! Cuz we imbibe whether it’s a Monday or a Saturday. (Like just 1-lol). Molly reminds me of Alison Roman in terms of loose and fun!
The prettiest celeb cook atm.
MOLLYYYY!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
