Episode description as stored

He cooked for the czar of Russia and the Rothschilds, and even made Napoleon Bonaparte's wedding cake. He invented the chef’s hat and published the first recipes for soufflé and meringue, but you’ve probably never heard his name. This week, it’s the story of the world’s first celebrity chef: Marie-Antoine Carême. Plus, we’re joined by one of today’s best chefs, Enrique Olvera; Kenji López-Alt returns with a brand-new way to fry an egg; we make Indonesian Beef and Sweet Soy Sate; and Chris and Sara take your calls and tell us how to organize handwritten recipes, why we season everything with pepper, and much more. (Originally aired August 8, 2025.) Get this week’s recipe for Indonesian Beef and Sweet Soy Sate here . Listen to Milk Street Radio on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify
