This Is TASTE

189: Sohla El-Waylly

We’re thrilled to welcome Sohla El-Waylly to the show for the first time. Sohla is a prodigious recipe developer, a fixture of food YouTube, and a judge on HBO’s cooking competition The Big Brunch—plus a friend of Aliza’s. This week, Aliza and Sohla unpack Sohla’s background before becoming one of the most viral stars in food media today, her thoughts on the ever-controversial brunch, the concept behind her debut cookbook, and much more.  MORE FROM SOHLA EL-WAYLLY:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1y7ntetYX3M" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sohla and Ham Turn Hot Pockets Into A 3-Course Meal</a> [The New York Times]<a href="https://sohla.substack.com/p/when-all-i-want-is-a-bowl-of-comforting" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Caramelized Onion and Toasted Rice Porridge</a> [Hot Dish with Sohla]<a href="https://www.hbomax.com/series/urn:hbo:series:GY0WzfASbP4OEqQEAAACX" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Big Brunch</a> [HBO]See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.

If you're a fan of smart and lively conversations about food, home cooking, and culture, this is the place. We interview the most interesting characters in the world of food, media, and cookbooks and release episodes several times a month. The program is hosted by TASTE editors Aliza Abarbanel and Matt Rodbard, and is sometimes recorded live at Rizzoli Bookstore in New York City.
