Episode QS78: Mina Stone + Urs Fischer (December 16, 2021)

The Greenlight Bookstore Podcast

Mina Stone, author of the cult-favorite Cooking for Artists, joined Greenlight (virtually!) to launch her stunning new cookbook, Lemon, Love & Olive Oil—featuring 80 Mediterranean-style recipes rooted in the traditions passed to her by preceding generations. Stone learned to cook from her Yiayia, who taught her that food doesn’t have to be complicated to be delicious—and that almost any dish can be improved with judicious amounts of lemon, olive oil, and salt. Stone’s friend, collaborator, and world-renowned artist Urs Fischer joined her for a charming conversation on the ways in which food and cooking touches off from our lives, families, and creative urges—and the secret importance of knowing how to make an ice cream cake!
