Episode Details

Today’s guest is Farideh Sadeghin. Farideh is a chef, recipe developer, video host, and food writer based in New York City. She’s been the test kitchen director at Saveur and was executive culinary director at Vice’s Munchies. Her first cookbook, “The Hot Dog Cookbook: 50 Recipes for the World’s Best Food,” was recently released and is full of classic, international, and original takes on her favorite food.

Farideh joins host Jessie Sheehan to talk about growing up in an Iranian-Italian household, how cooking became her path after college, what she learned working in restaurants in New Zealand, and how a chicken liver pâté recipe led her to Saveur.

They also dive into “The Hot Dog Cookbook,” and Farideh walks us through her Klobásník recipe—a savory pastry with a yeasted dough traditionally wrapped around sausage. It’s similar to a kolache and was adapted by Czech immigrants who settled in Texas. Farideh makes hers with hot dogs, Cheddar, and jalapeño.
