New Comfort Cooking with Chef Michael Silverstein

Written By

Chef Michael Silverstein is most well-known for his appearance on MasterChef and his popular first cookbook New Keto Cooking.

Today, he joins us on the podcast for the second time to discuss his new cookbook which becomes available on January 4th called New Comfort Cooking.  

We also talk about his cooking podcast The Talk, the online cooking classes he teaches, and the free recipes he shares online.   

Our conversation then goes to the topics like what healthy food is, what comfort food is, what lab grown food will bring in the future, and why there is so much food shaming online.    

“What does healthy even mean anymore? Organic certainly doesn’t necessarily mean anything anymore.” – Michael Silverstein
