Sweet potato and jalapeno enchiladas FTW

   

We’ve all been there: you come home after a long day of work and the idea of finding a recipe and firing up the stove just feels like too much trouble. So we reach for the cheese and crackers or splurge and get delivery. But cooking from home can be a lot easier on both your health and your budget.

Reset talks to two chefs about their tips for making cooking from home a bit easier and even fun. Then we check in with an urban forager to hear how he uses edible plants he finds in Chicago-area green spaces in his home cooking.

GUESTS: Lisa Counts, executive chef at The Chopping Block

Jordan Wimby, known as Melanin Martha; food preservationist and cultural historian

Dave Odd, urban forager and teacher
