Episode 186: JUSTINO!

This week on Cooking Issues Dave Arnold and Nastassia Lopez discuss the ideal Salad Nicoise and how the recipe has been bastardized through history.

Dave also weighs the benefits of an Autolyse step when making bread dough and gives tips for lactofermentation in vacuum bags. This program was brought to you by Whole Foods Market.
