What if this podcast turned into a baking show?
For Christina Tosi’s third visit to A Bit of Optimism, we decided to find out. So we headed to Milk Bar to make compost cookies from things in my own pantry and my favorite beer bread from scratch!
Christina’s not just my best friend—she’s the founder of Milk Bar, host of Bake Squad on Netflix, a cookbook author, and a fan favorite on this podcast. She lives by one simple question: what if?
In this experimental episode, we dug into some big ideas about creativity, uncertainty, and the magic of trying something new. Recipes below!
This...is A Bit of Optimism.
You can watch the video version of this episode on YouTube here.
