Luciano Vizza’s newsletter on food and cooking—Salt Sear Savor—is served hot every week and is a complete treat!
But it comes bearing a warning - If you’re looking for a traditional step-by-step, hand-me-the-recipe-in-a-book kinda newsletter, this isn’t for you.
However, if you’re looking for one that dices the “why” behind every recipe, sautés anecdotes (there’s a really good one about pasta🍝), and garnishes with puns (*internal screaming*), Salt Sear Savor is just the one for you!
Alright then, time to dig in 🍽️ And no, doughnut roll your eyes at me. I did tell you about the puns 🤷♀️
This is episode #4 of The Newsletter Nerd Show. Hit the play button below to get started!
Reading Room is that quiet corner of your house where you can curl up with nothing but a book to keep you company. And if you’re feeling really fancy, you can probably throw in a couple of candles and complete it with hot cocoa.
Here, however, what’ll keep you company is Luciano’s voice as he reads out an excerpt from his newsletter.
He chose to read out the piece that explains why steam is public enemy number 1 when it comes to cooking!
Time Stamp: Head to 21:10 in the audio above to check out the reading
A great story deserves a great ending. And ‘Have You Ever?’ is the great ending this show deserves - or so I like to think 😛
The rules are simple - I ask Luciano 5 questions. He answers them with a yes or no. Simple?
You’ll find below a visual representation of the segment. As you read each question, wait for the accompanying llama to reveal its true colour. A green llama means a yes and a red llama means a no.
Time Stamp: Head to 24:41 to check out how Luciano faced the questions thrown at him and get the complete experience🥁
Alright then. Here’s Luciano:
Well well well. He did let the beet drop!
With that, we’re wrapping up this episode. If you enjoyed listening to Luciano, please consider checking out his newsletter here.
