“If you’re alive, you’re a creative person,” says Elizabeth Gilbert in Big Magic. That said, this episode is all about creativity in the kitchen, whether you think you’re creative or not! Our guest is Tess Masters of The Blender Girl, who’s full of interesting ideas on how to keep the kitchen fresh. Hear about Tess’s new cookbook, her favorite global flavor inspirations, and some crazy smoothie flavors (dill pickle?), along with our recipe ideas for creative riffing on a theme.   Recipes: Vegan Banana French Toast (The Blender Girl) Thai Curry Naan Pizza Mexican Pizza Hot Wings Hummus Shocking Pink Beet Hummus Dark Chocolate Hummus   Books: Get it!
