When Emmy Award-winning journalist and talk show host, Tamron Hall, and James Beard Award and Emmy Award–winning culinary producer, Lish Steiling, became fast friends working at *The Today Show,* they never would have predicted they'd write a cookbook together.

But they just rele*ased [A Confident Cook](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/757543/a-confident-cook-by-tamron-hall-and-lish-steiling/?ref=cascadepbs.org),* a collection of recipes inspired by Tamron’s and Lish’s backgrounds, plus lots of basic techniques for newbies, like how to properly fry and scramble an egg. 

Tamron’s dad was the cook in the family, and when he passed, *she* wanted to learn how to gather friends and family for tasty meals just like he had. With Lish's guidance, she slowly became a confident cook.

In this episode, we talk food, friendship, tattoos and noisy parrots!
