We received a great listener mail about how to make a good stir fry, so to answer our listener's question and in honor of Chinese New Year (Happy year of the Rooster!), we decided to chat about the history or how Chinese food morphed into the Americanized version of today and we give some tips on how to make a tasty stir fry. Plus, we have another listener Food Fight question in which the Temple of Gozer from Ghostbusters is referenced. It's been a a great week!

We are going into Part 2 of our discussion on leaveners, and we're talking about biological leaveners this week, specifically yeast. Sharon breaks down the different types of domestic yeast and Winter gets into wild yeasts, how to make your own mother starter, and sourdough! Yay! We then help our Food Fight listener have some real talk with her adult daughter and the diet she's started.

Also, this week, we tackle the big question: waffles or pancakes? Duhn-duhn duuuhn! Let’s taco ‘bout it!

On this week's episode, we are privileged to chat with Cristiano Creminelli, the founder of Creminelli Fine Meats and food lover. He is a master storyteller and he takes us through the history of salami, then talks food science as he walks us through the fermentation process that his salamis go through before it reaches his customers.

Also, we help a Food Fight listener figure out how to handle all the cookbooks she has acquired over the holidays.

Happy New Year, Hungry Squared listeners! We are tackling how dark and cold it can be for some of us at this time of the year, by talking about hygge (pronounced "hue-gah"), the Danish term for "coziness". We specifically talk about how you can hygge your food and how to hygge your next winter gathering. Plus, we help a Food Fight listener get out of food rut.
