Every 10 episodes we celebrate with a dinner party!

You all know the Dinner Sisters love a vegetable forward dinner. We can't get enough of platter salads, or noodles, or dumplings, or dessert for that matter. Hattie McKinnon's newest cookbook, To Asia, With Love, serves us all of our favorites. Tara's pick starts with all the essentials of an Asian pantry, and ends with all of our favorites. We all highly recommended this book and can't wait to cook from it again and again. https://dinnersisters.com/2022/05/24/episode-228-to-asia-with-love/Support the show

Get out the patio furniture and dig into a salad that matches these warm spring nights. https://dinnersisters.com/2022/05/17/episode-227-rice-noodle-salads/Support the show
