This is an in-between-isode, where I talk to food writers, Instagrammers and generally cool people about their favorite makers and food things of the moment.

Serena Wolf didn't set out to create a diet fit for the modern man. In fact, she was just writing on her pink blog about her life in Paris, going to culinary school and throwing dinner parties with her roommate. Then, she moved back stateside and shacked up with her now-fiancé, Logan. Turns out, Logan was a typical dude. He ate totally satisfying but completely unhealthy food. Thinking she wanted him around for awhile, Serena decided to put her culinary chops to the test and set out to create Logan's favorite gut busters...just a smidgen healthier by using whole foods and no unpronounceable ingredients.

Logan loved the food. Serena loved the food. The internet peoples loved the food. And so, The Dude Diet was born. Released just last week, the cookbook is a guide to eating clean(ish) for people who like to eat dirty.

On this show, I get the skinny on the cookbook creation process, her fave recipes for newbies and the makers she's crushing on right now. She also divulges her most loved kitchen utensil and announces that she'll be on The Today Show THIS FRIDAY. Set your DVRs kids, this is one you don't want to miss.
