Presented by Plugra and California Prunes
Millie Peartree says she’s all about creating happy and joyful memories through food, and her Honey Butter Cornbread no doubt elicits lots of positive emotions from those lucky enough to try it. Millie, who is a chef, New York Times Cooking contributor, former restaurateur, and the founder of the Full Heart Full Bellies hunger relief initiative, joins host Jessie Sheehan to talk about her life, her baking, and how growing up in the Bronx influenced her culinary style. They also do a deep dive into her cornbread recipe and talk about Millie’s favorite ingredients, tips, techniques, and potential swaps. It’s all about using what you have, explains Millie. She’s even down with using a paintbrush from the hardware store to apply the honey butter.
