Taco Soup with Nava Atlas and Bob Eckstein
Episode 1511
What do a vegan cookbook author and a New Yorker cartoonist have in common? More than you might think! Listen as Nava Atlas and The Bob join forces in a conversation that is creative, cozy, and yes, a little bit purrfect.
Nava is a longtime vegan author and illustrator, while Bob Eckstein is a celebrated cartoonist whose work you have almost certainly seen. Together, they've created the charming illustrated book Inspired by Cats: Writers and Their Mews(es). In this episode, we talk about how this unexpected partnership came together, why it actually makes perfect sense, and how cats, creativity, and friendship weave through their work.
Of course, we also talk about food! Nava shares a warming and fun Vegan Taco Soup from her cookbook Vegan Soups and Stews for All Seasons, and Bob talks about one of his favorite Nava recipes, a bright and satisfying Pear Couscous Salad. It's a conversation about inspiration, collaboration, cats, and good food, all on the Recipe of the Day podcast this week.
