But they just released A Confident Cook, a collection of recipes inspired by Tamron’s and Lish’s backgrounds, plus lots of basic techniques for newbies, like how to properly fry and scramble an egg.   Tamron’s dad was the cook in the family, and when he passed, she wanted to learn how to gather friends and family for tasty meals just like he had. With Lish's guidance, she slowly became a confident cook. In this episode, we talk food, friendship, tattoos and noisy parrots! Follow along on Instagram!
