They say don’t meet your heroes, but gotta say, we did and… 10/10 recommend! We were not-so-low-key beside ourselves to welcome Alex Snodgrass of @thedefineddish onto the pod this week and it… was… everything?? We really tried to keep our fangirling at a minimum y’all, but for some background, both of us cook Alex’s recipes (and text each other about them relentlessly) on a WEEKLY basis. No exaggeration. If you’re new to her stuff, Alex is a 2x NYT bestselling cookbook author, food blogger, and @getsidedish creator (a new line of *healthy* yet flavorful sauces and dips). And, an all-around doll. She’s built a food empire yet remains so down-to-earth, genuinely friendly, and connected to her family, friends, and values… which is sort of a rarity in the entrepreneurship/influencer world.
We got the “dish” on her new business, how she copes with anxiety as a creator, and some news about a third (!!!) cookbook. Whether you love to cook or it’s not really your thing, we have a feeling this convo will have you inspired to try something new & fun in the kitchen this week. (May we recommend her enchiladas con carne from her first book?) We can’t wait for you to listen!
