Hi!! Coming up on today’s show, a delicious episode all about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!!


With Easter just around the corner, we thought a movie centered around chocolate was the perfect choice! We’re going to deep dive the way Augustus is depicted in the movie, and how this has potentially influenced the way so many generations view people in larger bodies. With Easter just around the corner, we also wanted to use this episode as a way to talk about navigating body image and food guilt over the long weekend.

Taylor recommended making a Jam Donut Cake (New York Times recipe - https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1025647-one-bowl-jam-doughnut-cake) and watching the Chef’s Table Pastry series in particular Episode 1: Christina Tosi and Episode 3: Jordi Roca.
