Join us on a journey of unexpected joy found right in Kim’s pantry, all thanks to the timeless culinary companion, "The Joy of Cooking" by Irma Rombauer. In today's episode, Leigh and Kim dive into the story of finding the inspiration to transform some stale tortilla chips and a forgotten can of green chiles into a delicious Tex Mex dish, and why Joy has earned its place as a culinary classic.
I am wishing I had a bag of stale tortilla chips to turn into migas! I tend to have stale tortillas more often than chips and usually I use them up in tortilla soup. Nothing like finding inspiration in an old cookbook for a dish that never grows old and has so many modern corollaries that actually all have ancient roots--like chilaquiles and shakshuka! Love it!
